The Venn diagram compares characteristics of the sun and Earth.  Complete the Venn diagram based on the physical characteristics of the sun and Earth.

A student wants to compare the surface features of the moon and Earth.

Which piece of equipment should the student select to view the physical characteristics of the moon's surface?

Telescope

Prism

Camera

Microscope

While Earth is characterized as possessing an atmosphere with the ability to produce winds, the moon is characterized as –

lacking surface dust

possessing large bodies of liquid water

having only a very thin atmosphere

possessing an atmosphere with large amounts of oxygen

The surface of the sun, Earth, and moon are described as having different physical characteristics. How is the sun different from Earth and the moon?

The sun is a solid.

The sun can produce its own heat.

The sun does not produce its own heat.

The sun has no gravity.

Both Earth and the sun consist of different layers. However, unlike Earth, the sun is primarily –

melted rock

gas

liquid

solid

A student creates a table to show characteristics of Earth and the moon.

Which of the following could be classified as characteristics of both Earth and the moon?
Select TWO correct answers.
