Development of Target ES-C1.2
ES-C1.2	Link the temperature of the planets to their relative position and atmospheres The temperature of the planets depends on their distance from the Sun; their atmosphere; size.

1	Arrange the planets in order from the Sun and predict which would be the hottest and coldest.
2	Suggest how a covering of gases - the atmosphere - might influence the temperature of a planet. (The atmosphere around the Earth helps to protect us from extremes of temperature).
