1. Why do you think scientists do not know very much about Pluto?
2. Why did scientists decide that Pluto is a dwarf planet?
3. Do you agree or disagree that Pluto is not a planet? Why or why not?
4. What are two characteristics of Pluto that make it neither terrestrial or gaseous?
5. What do you think New Horizons will discover about Pluto in 2015?

The terrestrial planets are:
Characteristics of a terrestrial planet:
1. What is another name for the gaseous planets?
2. What is the combined diameter of the gas planets?
3. What is the farthest planet from Earth? How far away is it? If a satellite can travel 432,000 miles in a day, how many days would it take you to get there? (Bonus question: Can you convert that to years? Hint: There are 365 days in a year.)
4.How much greater is the gravity on Jupiter? If you weigh 80 pounds on Earth, how much would you weigh on Jupiter? What if you were 160 pounds? What about your pet elephant that weighs 1 ton? (Hint: 1 ton = 2000 pounds)
5. How many moons do the gas giants have in total? (Reminder: This number may never be final - scientists are still discovering moons orbiting these planets!)
