Questions
 1. There is a disagreement with two students on how many planets are in the solar
system. Student A claims there are 8 planets and Student B claims there are 12
planets. What is some evidence to support each claim?

but I'm not completely sure. I was mostly right because there are officially 8
planets but Student B is correct to because dwarf planets.

though I learned that the sun is the biggest planet. Dr. Grumbles claims that it is
colder during the winter because Earth is farther from the sun. Provide
evidence to prove him right or wrong?
a. I think Grumbles is right because the planets go around the sun And so that is
what creates the seasons. Answer: At first I thought we got closer and farther but
I figured out that was the not reason but know I know that it is tilt.

longer path but in the winter there is less daylight hours.
4. How would seasons on Uranus be different from Earth?
a. I think it is different because Uranus is either farther or closer to the sun then we are.

extreme seasons because it is almost a 90 deg angle.
