There is a disagreement with two students on how many planets are in the solar
system. Student A claims there are 8 planets and Student B claims there are 12 planets.
What is some evidence to support each claim?
1. I think that there are 8 but I'm not completely sure.
2. I was correct. But it depends
3. Both are correct
2. On which planet would you weigh the least? What is your evidence to prove this?
1. I think you would weigh least on mars, but I am not positive.
2. I was correct
3. Mars and Mercury
3. How does the mass of our planet compare to the other inner planets?
1. 1%
2. I was correct
3. We are the biggest of the inner planets
4. Dr. Grumbles claims that it is colder during the winter because Earth is farther from
the sun. Provide evidence to prove him right or wrong?
1. Because the earth turns while it moves around the earth, so we must have winter.
2. I was correct
3. Dr. Grumbles is not correct
5. How does the path of the sun in the sky change during seasons?
1. It doesn’t because the earth is the one who goes around the sun the sun does not go
around the earth.
2. I was correct
3. I was not correct
6. How would seasons on Uranus be different from Earth?
1. I have no idea.
2. It's the planet's tilt that gives Uranus its seasons, just as Earth's seasons
are caused by our world's tilt on its axis. But the tilts of our planets are different.
While Earth orbits nearly upright, Uranus is lying down nearly sideways with
respect to its orbit around the sun
I think I was correct
