=Welcome to Our Solar System Wiki!=

Here students may collaborate with others in Earth and Space Science and Astronomy while collecting information on terrestrial and gas-giant planets and their satellites in the Solar System.
Each pair of learners will be assigned a planet and/or satellites of a planet in The Solar System. Information will be collected independently by each pair and uploaded to this wiki page which will be shared with other learners.

The following information needs to be collected for each planetary body or satellite:
 * Composition (external and internal)
 * Size
 * Density
 * Orbit
 * Surface features
 * Tectonic activity, if any
 * Surface temperature
 * Suitability for life
 * Additional information

Collaborators should upload text, pictures, links, videos, and any other type of information on their given topic. Student teams should organize their information to be user-friendly, informative, and easy to navigate. These pages will be used by all ESS/Astronomy students to learn and review characteristics of bodies of the Solar System. Do not forget to cite all your sources in MLA at the bottom of the page.
