Q.
The color of a planet provides clues to its composition. From space, much of Earth looks blue because most of its surface is covered with water. The surface of Mars is much different from that of Earth. Much of its surface is made up of iron oxide, or "rust." Which color would you expect Mars to be?

Q.
All of the planets rotate. The time it takes a planet to make one rotation is its rotation period. Each complete rotation period equals a day on the planet. A negative number for a planet's rotation period indicates that a planet rotates in the opposite direction of Earth's rotation. Using the table, which planet rotates the fastest?
