Student ProcedureDancing with the PlanetsStudent ProcedureAs scientists and engineers plan for travel toother planets, they have to deal with somebasic planetary science.A Earth and Mars move at different speeds around the Sun.A Earth’s orbit is about 150 million kilometers (km) from the Sun.A Mars’ orbit is about 200 million km from the Sun.A Earth completes a solar orbit every 365 days.A Mars completes a solar orbit every 687 days. (The difference in orbit timesis about a 2 to 1 ratio Mars/Earth.)A Earth completes its orbit in shorter time because it is closer to the Sun andhas less distance to travel.A Earth travels faster in its orbit. Planets closer to the Sun travel faster.Using these facts, demonstrate dramatically the movement of Earth and Mars aroundthe Sun. Incorporate music, costumes, and props in your demonstration for addedeffects. Your group may gather other information about Earth and Mars. Make yourpresentation scientifically accurate demonstrating as many facts as possible.10/97 NASA JSC Destination: Mars 7
