IOP - Inner Planets LESSON

Inner Planets

Since we have already reviewed and discussed the planet Earth, we will focus on the three remaining inner planets: Mercury, Venus, and Mars. Did you know that you can sometimes see Venus and Mars in the night sky? Venus is also referred to as the "Morning Star".  When you see Mars in the night sky, it appears to have a reddish hue.

Review the information below to learn more characteristics about the inner planets.
