Planet Research Project
Directions: You (and a partner) will be assigned 1 of the 8 planets in the solar system to research. After
conducting your research, you will make 6 slides in Google Slides which will be shared with Mr. Flatba
presented to the class. A list of what each slide should contain is below:
Slide 1 - Background / History of your planet
Where is your planet located in the solar system? (in between what 2 other objects, ie. Eart
between Venus and Mars)
When (in what year) was it discovered? By who? How?
What are some key features / interesting facts about your planet? (Need at least 3 things
At least 1 picture.
Slide 2- Numerical Data for your planet
The mass of your planet (Mplanet) in kilograms.
• The radius of your planet (rplaner) in meters.
• The distance from the Sun to your planet in meters.
o You should also find out how many A. U.'s your planet is from the Sun.
O A. U. - Stands for Astronomical Unit..the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
• 1 A. U. = 1.5 x 1011 m
• The period of your planet (how long it takes to orbit the Sun once) in years.
• This slide should also contain some sort of visual element...picture or diagram.
Slide 3 - Calculate the gravitational field constant, 'g, for your planet.
planet
• Using the #'s from Slide 2 and the formula: g= planet show work finding
(Tplanet)
O Remember ALL 4 STEPS and that G = 6.67 x 10-11

Can somebody please help me solve all of the math questions for my applied science research project of Venus... I really suck at math and it’s due today
