• General properties of the planets
– Order, relative size, make-up (terrestrial vs. Jovian),
atmosphere (including greenhouse effect)
• General properties of the interesting moons and
ring systems (e.g., origin of our moon, Galilean
Moons, Titan)
• Extrasolar planets (how many, how detected?)
• Comets, meteors, asteroids
– Where do they come from, what are they made of,
origin of meteor showers
• Very basic stuff, most can be memorized, nothing
too complex – basically what’s here in the slides
