2. The statement below shows a fair test about the stability of an object.
Kenyataan di bawah menunjukkan satu ujikaji tentang kestabilan satu objek.

Vase P and Q are the same height. We put 5 g of sand into vase P and 10 g of sand into vase Q. Then
both vases receive the same speed of wind blown by the fan. The result shows that vase P toppled
earlier than vase Q.

Ini disebabkan oleh kedudukan Utarid paling dekat dengan matahari.

a) Based on the information, state one observation and one inference about the difference in the
average temperature of the planets.
Berdasarkan maklumat, nyatakan satu pemerhatian dan inferens tentang perbezaan suhu purata di planet-planet tersebut.
