3. Planets of the Solar System Math Connection 248 years 1 7,375.0 km. Pluto 165 years 8 4,537.0 km. Neptune 84 years 15 3,004.0 km. Uranus 30 years 18 1,507.0 km. Saturn 12 years 16 815.7 km Jupiter 687 days 2 249.1 km. Mars 365 days 1 152.1 km. Earth 225 days 0 109.0 km. Venus 88 days 0 69.7 km. Mercury Year Length Number of Moons Distance from Sun (millions) Planets

4. Inner and Outer Planets The farther the planet is from the sun the longer it takes to orbit the sun Location of Planets Inner Planets Planets Close to the Sun Outer Planets Planets Far from the Sun Mercury Venus Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Earth Mars Pluto

5. Space Exploration your leader? Take me to your leader NASA Link Using the link, can you find a way NASA uses measurement?

7. Space Probes Space probes are sent into space to gather information and pictures about other planets and our solar system. In 1976 NASA sent 2 Viking spacecraft to photograph and gather data about Mars. Robots called Pathfinder and Sojourner landed on Mars in 1997. Today the Hubble space telescope is traveling through our solar system sending information back to Earth. Math Connection How many years passed between the Viking landing and the Pathfinder landing on Mars?
