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 volcanics,” and on the other side of the Venn diagram, the student writes “unable to land on because there is no solid surface.”

Question

Earth and Venus
Sun and planets
Inner and Outer planets
Moon and earth

Answer 1

The two objects the student is comparing are likely inner and outer planets.

The inner planets (like Earth and Venus) have solid surfaces with features such as mountains and valleys, while the outer planets (such as Jupiter and Saturn) are gas giants and do not have a solid surface to land on.
