    have your mind blown and learn
    all about the craziness that
    are these orbiting
    objects?!

    Great! Let’s go!


    That’s right……. Warm to the up!

     After learning all about the planets in our


    solar system during the quest yesterday,
    which is your favorite planet and why?!
     ( You MUST give at least 3 detailed
    reasons/examples as to why you like your
    chosen planet the most)


     (Oh, come on… this is your opinion, you can do this! )
    Meteors? Meteorites? Meteoroids? What’s
    the difference?!?!
     The Quick Trick:
     - “oids” are outside the
    atmosphere, - “ites” are
    inside it, and – “ors” are in
    between.
     Meteoroids outside
    atmosphere
     Meteorites inside atmosphere
     Meteors in-between

    Meteoroids Meteorites Meteors


    Cosmic Vagabonds

    Asteroids:
     Comets:

     A rocky object, smaller  A small, icy body in orbit


    than a planet, that are around the Sun.
    found between the
    orbits of Mars and
    Jupiter.
    Cosmic Vagabonds

    Meteoroids:

     Are solid, interplanetary


    particles passing
    through Earth’s
