Question

Which of the following is an example of a difference between planets in the solar system?(2 points)
A planet can have a surface made of either liquid or gas.
Some planets have thick atmospheres, while others have thin atmospheres.
A planet must have a moon, but it can differ in terms of its size.
All planets have rings, but some are very hard to see with your eyes.

Answer 1

What do you think the answer possibly could be?

Answer 2

@563blackghost this is a little late, but would you mind taking a look at this question?

Answer 3

Using process of elimination:

A planet can have a surface made of either liquid or gas. ---> False, as this excludes the inner plannets which have primarily solid surfaces
A planet must have a moon, but it can differ in terms of its size. ---> False, as Mercury and Venus lack moons
All planets have rings, but some are very hard to see with your eyes. ---> False, as the inner planets lack rings

Therefore: Some planets have thick atmospheres, while others have thin atmospheres. is the only true statement.

"The atmosphere of Mercury is extremely thin and is not very different from the vacuum of space. All four giant planets in our solar system - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - have very thick, deep atmospheres. The smaller, rocky planets - Earth, Venus and Mars - have much thinner atmospheres hovering above their solid surfaces. "
