The Earth-Moon system is unique in the Solar System, because ofthe size of the Moon compared to the Earth. Imagine that the Moonwas half the diameter it currently is (and its mass reduced aswell). What, if anything, would happen to its orbit, its phases,and its effect on tides and eclipses, both solar and lunar?
Compare and contrast the interiors, surface features, andatmospheres of the terrestrial planets. How are they similar andhow are they different? What mechanisms are responsible for thevarious characteristics of the terrestrial planets? For example,what affects the internal structure, and what affects thecharacteristics of the atmosphere?
