Question

jena is doing research on one of the planets of the solar system. she writes: \this planet quickly revolves around the sun and has no rings and no moons. it is also the planet that has virtually no atmosphere.\ based on information provided in jenas research, answer the following questions. is this planet an inner planet or outer planet? what is the composition of this planet? what is the identity of this planet?

Explanation:

1. Inner planets are the four closest to the Sun, and they have shorter orbital periods (revolve quickly) compared to outer planets. This planet's traits match inner planet characteristics.
2. The inner rocky planets have solid, rocky compositions, and the described planet's lack of atmosphere, rings, and moons aligns with this.
3. Mercury is the only solar system planet that has virtually no atmosphere, no rings, no moons, and a fast orbital period around the Sun.

Answer:

1. Inner planet
2. Rocky/terrestrial (solid, rocky composition)
3. Mercury
