Abstract
2 ISP 205 Astronomy Gary D. Westfall Lecture 8 Inventory • Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were known to the ancients • Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto were discovered after the invention of the telescope • The masses of the planets have been known for centuries based on Newton’s Law of Gravity • Each planet rotates on it own axis Most rotate in the same direction as they orbit Venus rotates slowly backward Uranus and Pluto are nearly tipped on their sides
