1	Chapter 16-19 Review Solar Nebula Terrestrial Planets Properties of Earth Greenhouse Effect (cf. Venus, Mars) Cratering, origin of moon Jovian Planets Properties of Jupiter, composition, atmosphere Rings, Notable Moons “Debris” Asteroids and Comets
2	Chapter 16-19 Review We’ve covered this material fast – exam will not cover subtle concepts or obscure facts. Very basic information and only the most fundamental ideas. Things you should know include: Order of planets in solar system, general sizes of orbits, sizes and compositions of the planets (also asteroids and comets in general, notable moons). How these items fit into the solar nebula picture.

4	Chapter 16: Origin of the Solar System Solar Nebula Hypothesis Context for Understanding Solar System Extrasolar Planets Dust Disks, Doppler Shifts, Transits and Eclipses Survey of the Solar System Terrestrial Planets Jovian Planets Other “Stuff” including apparent patterns with application to the nebular hypothesis
5	Chapter 17: Terrestrial Planets Comparative Planetology Earth History, Interior, Crust, Atmosphere The Moon In particular origin Mercury Venus Mars Including water (and life ?)
6	Chapter 18: Worlds of the Outer Solar System Jupiter Condensation model (Ice and Velcro effect) Atmospheric winds Atmospheric chemistry Magnetic fields Other Jovian Planets (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) will only cover major differences from Jupiter Satellites (i.e. Moons)
7	Ch. 19: Meteorites, Asteroids, Comets Small bodies, not geologically active “Fossil” record of early solar system Asteroids Mostly from region between Mars and Jupiter Left over small debris from accretion, never assembled into a large planet Meteorites come mostly from asteroids Comets “Stored” on large elliptical orbits beyond planets Thought to be “planetesimals” from Jovian planet region, almost ejected from solar system in its early history Brought water to earth, cause meteor showers Meteorites are “asteroids” fallen to Earth Pluto, Kuiper Belt Objects
8	Chapter 16-19 Review Example questions: Multiple choice: On a photograph of the moon, the moon measures 30 cm in diameter and a small crater measures 0.2 cm. The moon’s physical diameter is 1738 km. What is the physical diameter of the small crater? About 1738 km About 12 km About 520 km About 350 km About 3.5 km
9	Chapter 16-19 Review Example questions: Multiple choice: Though Titan is small, it is able to retain an atmosphere because? It is very cold. It is very dense. It rotates very slowly. It attracts gas from the solar wind. It has a very strong magnetic field.
