Question 1 • DAEP-Science 7 A(20 Day Term)

Which statements correctly identify characteristics of Earth and Jupiter? Check all that apply.

Answer
A
Earth is an inner planet.
B
Earth is more dense than Jupiter.
C
They are similar in size.
D
Jupiter is mostly made of gas.
E
Jupiter revolves faster than Earth.

Explanation

Earth is an inner planet because it orbits closer to the Sun than the asteroid belt. Earth is also denser than Jupiter: Earth is mostly rock and metal, while Jupiter is a large gas giant with a much lower average density. They are not similar in size, and Jupiter takes about 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun, so it does not revolve around the Sun faster than Earth.
