Q.4 An orbit is a path a planet or star travels through because of the suns gravity. Planets go around the sun in a fairly flat manner, part of the reason pluto is not a planet is because it trevels in a different manner.

Q.6 The difference between inner and outer planets is that the inner planets are a solid mass planet and the outer planets are gas giant.

Q.7 Mercury 

1. Mercury is slightly bigger than earths moon.

2. Mercury can only be seen on earth after the sun has risen and just before it sets.

3.Mercury is 100 times closer to the sun than pluto

4.By the time one year on pluto has occured (248 earth years)1028 years have occured on mercury due to its fast orbit speeds.

5.mercury has alsmost no atmosphere.

Mercury is different to earth because it is inhabbitable which means it has no water or oxygen because it has no atmosphere.

Q.8 Because of Earth's orbit and axis changing direction, we face the sun in a different manner.This causes the weather patterns and hours of day light to change also tidal and time changes.

Q.9 

First quarter Waxing gibbous Full <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #d18710; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Third quarter <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #d18710; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Waxing crescent <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #d18710; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">New. <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #d18710; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">there are different moon phases because of earth getting in the way of the straight line of sunlight. When there is a full moon there is absolutely none of earth in the way of the sun light going to the moon, makeing it full. But if there was half of Earth in the way it would make it a "first or third quarter moon" as you can see on the picture. <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #d18710; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Q.10 <span style="background-color: #000000; color: #d18710; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Gravity is this awesome force that pulls anything towards the centre of the mass containing gravity like Earth(the centre of gravity). Pretty much anything with a mass has its own gravity. That is what they think because this is not scientifically proven. I think that is incorrect. I think there is a chemical reactoin of some sorts because there are planets without gravity like the moon.
