Question

use the scenario to answer the question. 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.” which two objects is the student comparing? (1 point) ○ inner and outer planets ○ sun and planets ○ moon and earth ○ earth and venus

Explanation:

1. Analyze Option 1 (Inner and Outer Planets): Inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) have solid surfaces with features like mountains. Outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, etc.) are gas giants with no solid surface to land on. This matches the Venn diagram descriptions.
2. Analyze Option 2 (Sun and Planets): The Sun is a star (plasma), not compared with planets this way. Planets vary, but the Sun doesn’t fit either category here. Eliminate.
3. Analyze Option 3 (Moon and Earth): Both Moon and Earth have solid surfaces (Moon has craters, mountains; Earth has landforms). Neither has “no solid surface.” Eliminate.
4. Analyze Option 4 (Earth and Venus): Both are inner planets with solid surfaces (mountains, valleys, etc.). Neither has “no solid surface.” Eliminate.

Answer:

A. Inner and Outer Planets
