IIINTERSTELLAR CRASH LANDING: Imagine your circle of friends in an interstellar voyage. Unluckily, your spaceship suffers mechanical problems and you are forced to land for a repair. Fortunately, you are passing through the Yanib System, which is composed of a sun- like star surrounded by six planets and some of which have moons. The profiles of planets and moons of the Yanib System are listed on Table 3. Decide the best place to land and do the mechanical repair of your ship considering the individual features of the planets and answer the following questions. The result of this activity will be recorded as your Table 3 Profiles of Planets and Moons of Yanib System. Modified from: http:// www.voyagesthroughtime.org/planetary/sample/lesson5/pdf/5_3_1sas_crashland.pdf Planet 1 (closet to the star) Planet 4 Mass: 1.5 (Earth - 1) Mass: 1.5 Tectonics: Active volcanoes and Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected Atmosphere: CO2, N, and H20 Ave. Temperature: 651°C Description: Thick clouds surround the planet. No surface is visible through the clouds. seismic activity detected Atmosphere: N, O2, and ozone layer Average Temperature: 2°C Description: Cold oceans, covered with ice along much of the globe, some open water around equator Planet 2 Planet 5 Mass: 0.5 Gas Giant with one large moon. Moon: Sulfur dioxide (SO2) Tectonics: No activity detected Atmosphere: Thin CO2 atmosphere detected atmosphere. Many volcanoes and hot springs on surface. Temperatures in hot spots can be up to 600°C. Other spots away from volcanic heat can get as low in temperature as 145°C. Average Temperature: 10°C Description: Polar ice caps, dry riverbeds Planet 3 Planet 6 Gas giant with four large, rocky satellites (moons). Moons have no appreciable atmosphere. Ice detectable on Mass: 1 Tectonics: Active volcanoes and seismic activity detected. Atmosphere: COz, H20 Temperature: 30 °c Description: Liquid water oceans cover much of the surface. one. Volcanic island chains make up most of the dry land.
