Question 26 • WCA 4130 Earth and Space Science 1st Quarter 26-27

If astronomers discovered a new inner planet in the solar system, which characteristic would it most likely have?

Answer
A
large size
B
gaseous composition
C
many moons
D
fast revolution

Explanation

A planet closer to the Sun travels along a smaller orbit and takes less time to complete one revolution. So a newly discovered inner planet would most likely have a fast revolution. The correct choice is “fast revolution”; large size, gaseous composition, and many moons are more typical of the outer planets.
