Solar System

Today we discussed the specifics of the solar system. We talked about some important people (Ptolemy, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Kepler) and their contributions to what we know about our solar system today. We talked about the different components of our solar system (planets, asteroids, comets) and how to classify them.

The assignment for today was to draw a geocentric and a heliocentric model of the solar system. Additionally, you were to make a T-chart to compare the different characteristics of the inner and outer planets of our solar system.
