ILINTERSTELLAR CRA SH 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.

11. If your repair will last for a month or more, which planet would be more advantageous to land on? D. Planet 4 E. Planet 5 F. Planet 6 (shade letters A and B) A. Planet 1 B. Planet 2 C. Planet 3 12. From the choices below, select three (3) most significant features of the planet which is more advantageous to land on. A. presence of active volcanoes and seismic activities B. average temperature of 30° C C. presence of liquid/open water D. presence of one or more satellite/moon E. N, O2 and ozone layer in the atmosphere 13. From the choices below, select two (2) disadvantageous features of the planet which is more advantageous to land on. A. average temperature of 2° C B. ice is covering much of the planet C. mass = 1 D. cold oceans/waters E. presence of CO2 in the atmosphere 14. A habitable planet has abiotic factors and characteristics that are necessary for life to exist. Therefore, the presence nf thick clouds surrounding the planet where no surface is visible through the clouds is necessary. A. False B. True 15. Planets with active volcanoes and seismic activities are more advantageous for this transport and replenish the chemicals required by organisms. A. False B. True
