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?)
