|
|
|
| • | Basis
for comparisons is Earth |
||||||||
| • | Properties
of Earth |
||||||||
| • | Similarities
and differences with Mars and |
||||||||
| Venus
help us understand Earth better (e.g., |
|||||||||
| life,
greenhouse effect, etc.) |
|||||||||
| • | Won’t spend much class time on basic |
||||||||
| properties (size, gravity, orbital period, length |
|||||||||
| of day, etc.) but you should have some relative |
|||||||||
| ideas about these (see “Data Files” in text). |
|||||||||
| There will be a few exam questions!!! |
