Pluto was kicked off the official list of planets in 2006 after astronomers fine-tuned the definition of a planet. It became one of the newly-named dwarf planets. In this Planet Diary activity, you'll learn what it takes to get admitted to this "club." Then you'll meet its current members.

Describe main features of the outer planets and their moons. Compare the outer planets to each other and to Earth. Galilean moons gas giants Great Red Spot outer planets planetary rings Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the outer planets of our solar system. These are the four planets farthest from the Sun.

Matter is everything around you. Atoms and molecules are all composed of matter. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space. If you are new to the idea of mass, it is the amount of stuff in an object. We talk about the difference between mass and weight in another section.

Pour enough milk in the dinner plate to completely cover the bottom to the depth of about 1/4 inch. Allow the milk to settle. Add one drop of each of the four colors of food coloring - red, yellow, blue, and green - to the milk.

Suppose that an elephant and a feather are dropped off a very tall building from the same height at the same time. We will assume the realistic situation that both feather and elephant encounter air resistance. Which object - the elephant or the feather - will hit the ground first? The animation at the right accurately depicts this situation. The motion of the elephant and the feather in the presence of air resistance is shown. Further, the acceleration of each object is represented by a vector arrow.
