CHARACTERS: Teacher- Sharyl Students- Billy, Kate, Jose STORY: T: Good morning class, for now well study

about planet Earth and Venus. Can you tell me a little information about planet earth, Kate? K: Earth is the only planet in the solar system that can support life and it is spherical in shape. T: Kate you are right that it is the only planet that can support life but as you can see it may be spherical but it is flat on the top so its shape is oblate spheroid. How about planet Venus, Jose can you tell me about planet Venus? J: Venus is the goddess of beauty in the Roman mythology, and it is so called the morning and evening star. T: Thank you, for the information, now well talk about more information about planet Earth and Venus. DISCUSSION: <EARTH> T: Do you know that Earths minimum surface temperature is - 89.2 C and its maximum temperature is 57.8 C. And its atmospheric composition is compost of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and 1% other gasses. Kate do you know how many degrees it is inclined? K: It is tilted in its axis at an angle of 23.5 T: Billy do you know its distance away from the sun? B: It is 150 million kilometers away from the sun T: Did you know that it only had one moon and its name is Luna. Jose, do you know what the shape of the Earths moon is? J: It is slightly ovate or egg shaped. T: Why is it slightly ovate? J: Its slightly ovate because of the earths pull and the side of the moon facing the earth bulges towards us by about 0.8 kilometers. T: Kate, what is its ordinal position from the sun? K: Its the third planet away from the sun T: Did you know that its equatorial circumference is 40,000 km and its diameter is 12,756 km, it is the densest planet which is 5.52g/cm. Kate do you know what is the aphelion of planet earth? K: Its Aphelion is 152,098,232 km. T: Billy do you know the perihelion of planet earth? B: Its Perihelion is 147,098,290 km.

<VENUS> T: Did you know that Venus is the twin planet of earth, because in terms of size it is slightly smaller than earth, they both have few craters indicating relatively young surfaces. Their densities and chemical compositions are both similar. Venus' surface temperature reaches as much as 480C because the thick clouds of carbon dioxide gas in Venus' atmosphere traps the heat coming from the sun, Billy, can you tell me what is Venus atmospheric composition? B: It is composed of -96.5% of Carbon Dioxide, -3.5% of Nitrogen, 0.015% of Sulfur Dioxide, 0.007% of Argon, 0.002% of Water Vapor, 0.001 7% of Carbon Monoxide, 0.001 2% of Helium, 0.000 7% of Neon, and trace Carbonyl Sulfide, Hydrogen Chloride, and Hydrogen Fluoride.

T: Kate, can you tell me how many degrees is Venus inclined? K: It is inclined 3.394 71 to Ecliptic, 3.86 to the Sun's Equator, and 2.19 to the Invariable Plane. T: Jose, Do you know what its distance from the sun is? J: Because it is the second planet away from the sun its distance from the sun is 108,200,000 km. T: Did you know that its equatorial diameter is 12,100 km. And its density is 5.204 g/cc. It has an aphelion of 108,942,109 km and a perihelion of 107,476,259 km. <<Ring>> T: Class Dismiss...
