Question

A 2 column by 2 row table. Column 1 is titled Planet with the following entries: A, B. Column 2 is titled Length of a Day in hours with the following entries: 16 hours, 1,408 hours. Which planet is an inner planet, and which one is an outer planet? Explain your answer

Answer 1

Answer:

the planet A is inner planet and B is the outer planet.

Explanation:

because A shows 16 hr. per day revolution. and B shows maximum hours. hence A is inner and Bis outer planet.

Answer 2

Theoretically speaking, the question doesn't make much sense. We can judge which planet is inner or outer depending on the length of an year, not a day. So, the given facts don't answer the question. However, we can look for data trends in our own solar system for an answer. If that is the case,

1. A is an outer planet, since in our solar system, outer planets have shorter days.
2. B is an inner planet, since going by our solar system, inner planets have longer days. Infact, Venus's day is even longer than its year.
