KLB Science Department Interactivities A data table of the Nine Planets
Summary
Information about the 9 planets.
This data can be copied
and pasted into a spreadsheet and then the data can be used
to produce some interesting graphs.
Possible graphs you
could look at:
The distance
from the Sun vs. the average
temperature. (Which
planet seems to be the odd one out? Where would a
planet have to be for its average temperature to be
zero 0C?)
The distance
from the Sun vs. the time for 1
orbit. (N.B.
the time for 1 orbit will have to be converted into
days or years but
cannot be left as a mixture)
The diameter of
the planet vs. the number of moons. (Do you think there is a
connection or is it just random?)
