Question
The image contains a table intended for educational purposes, asking students to fill in information about the planets in our solar system. The table has the following columns: 1. **Planet** - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune 2. **Distance from the Sun (AU)** - The column is empty and awaits data to be filled in. AU (Astronomical Unit) is a unit of measurement equal to the average distance from the Earth to the Sun. 3. **Temperature (Kelvins)** - This column is also empty and to be filled with the average temperature of each planet measured in Kelvins. An additional note explains: - **Temperature (Celsius) = Kelvin - 273** The exercise intends to teach students about the relative distances of the planets from the Sun and their average temperatures in the solar system.

The image is a graph titled "Figure 1: Temperature of the Planets as a Function of Distance from the Sun." ### Description - **Y-Axis (Vertical)**: Represents the distance from the Sun, measured in Astronomical Units (AU). The scale ranges from 0.1 AU to 50 AU. - **X-Axis (Horizontal)**: Represents the temperature in kelvins, with a range from 50 K to 2000 K. ### Graph Details - The graph includes a diagonal line that plots the relationship between the distance of each planet from the Sun and its approximate surface temperature. - **Planets Labeled**: - **Mercury** - **Venus** - **Earth** - **Mars** - **Jupiter** - **Saturn** - **Uranus** - **Neptune** ### Interpretation The graph shows a general trend that as the distance from the Sun increases, the temperature of the planets decreases, which aligns with the expectation that planets farther from the Sun receive less solar energy and hence have lower temperatures. The planets are positioned along the line in sequential order based on their average distance from the Sun.
