The Rocky Planets

The rocky planets of our solar system- Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars- all come from a common origin and the same basic building blocks. Yet each has developed in its own unique way. In this class we will tour the rocky planets and learn about their landscapes, atmospheres, geology and other features.
