37. Solar System Trends. Study the planetary data in Table 7.1 to do each of the following. a. Notice the relationship between distance from the Sun and surface temperature. Describe the trend, explain why it exists, and explain any notable exceptions to the trend. b. The text says that planets can be classified as either terrestrial or jovian, with Pluto fitting neither category. Describe in general how the columns for density, composi- tion, and distance from the Sun support this classification. c. Describe the trend you see in orbital periods, and explain it in terms of Kepler's third law.
