A student creates a Venn diagram depicting two objects in the solar system. On one side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes,” and on the other side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “unable to land on because there is no solid surface.”

Question

Which two objects is the student comparing? suns and planets, inner and outer planets, earth and venus, moon and earth

Answer 1

The two objects the student is comparing in the Venn diagram are likely "inner and outer planets."

The left side with "have surface features such as mountains, valleys, and volcanoes" would represent the inner planets (like Earth and Venus), while the right side with "unable to land on because there is no solid surface" would represent the outer planets (like Jupiter and Saturn), which do not have a solid surface to land on.
