Are you talking about rule 3cvi? If so, it seems that the topic on hand is how the craters form themselves (the process) rather than actually actually knowing the names of specific cratersbmd234 wrote:The rule manual says that we need to know about cratering of the planets, I'm working on Mercury right now and I looked up a list of craters but there's like hundreds of craters on mercury... how many do we need to know?

Re: Solar System B
Don't want to ask too many questions on here but Solar Systems is new and I can't study the way I usually do so... here goes...
How far into the atmosphere of the planets do we need to get? Obviously we need the composition but should I also add how it affects the surface of the planets, how the atmosphere used to be, the "clouds" in the atmosphere, and more? I just don't know how much is too much for this portion because I can't look at old tests or anything since it's a new topic :/ Also is there a way to measure Libration or something? because I can't find any and the rules say include Libration...

Re: Solar System B
I doubt you will need to go into Libration and for the atmosphere, general stuff seems fine.bmd234 wrote:Don't want to ask too many questions on here but Solar Systems is new and I can't study the way I usually do so... here goes...

I would recommend getting basic information on the different parameters first and then going in depth on anything you feel is necessary.

Re: Solar System B
Does anyone know about how many near-Earth asteroids that we should put up? In other words, should we just find like the most massive and go from there?

Re: Solar System B
Probably just the bigger ones, like Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, etc.OrigamiPlanet wrote:Does anyone know about how many near-Earth asteroids that we should put up? In other words, should we just find like the most massive and go from there?

Re: Solar System B
Ok, but I thought Ceres, Vesta and Pallas were within the asteroid belt, and that they were not near-Earth asteroids.dxu46 wrote:Probably just the bigger ones, like Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, etc.OrigamiPlanet wrote:Does anyone know about how many near-Earth asteroids that we should put up?

Re: Solar System B
They are but it might be good to have a good understanding of them since they are important asteroids.OrigamiPlanet wrote:Ok, but I thought Ceres, Vesta and Pallas were within the asteroid belt, and that they were not near-Earth asteroids.dxu46 wrote:Probably just the bigger ones, like Ceres, Vesta, Pallas, etc.OrigamiPlanet wrote:Does anyone know about how many near-Earth asteroids that we should put up?

And, on a side note, "near" is a relative term (Earth is near the sun and far from it at the same time)
