The solar system (age 11+)

Science · Space Systems & Earth's History · conceptual

Describe the detailed structure of the solar system, including moons, asteroids, and comets, compare orbital periods and distances of the planets, and distinguish between planets, dwarf planets, and other bodies

What mastery looks like

  • Names the eight planets in order and gives one distinguishing fact about each
  • Describes the difference between a planet, a dwarf planet, an asteroid, and a comet
  • Explains the relationship between distance from the Sun and orbital period (planets further out take longer)

Check your understanding

If The solar system (age 11+) was making a model of the solar system, could they describe the difference between a planet, a moon, an asteroid, and a comet — and explain why planets closest to the Sun take less time to complete an orbit?
