A planet's volume tells you the size of the planet. The primary composition of a planet is what the planet is made mainly of. In our solar system, planets are made mainly of rock, gas, or ice.
To determine if this statement is true, calculate the value of 1,000 times the volume of Earth. Then compare the result to the volume of Jupiter. Jupiter's volume is 1,431,280 billion km^3, which is more than 1,090,000 billion km^3. So, Jupiter's volume is more than 1,000 times as great as Earth's volume.

In a group of tomato plants, some individuals have red fruit and others have yellow fruit. In this group, the gene for the fruit color trait has two alleles. The allele for red fruit (F) is dominant over the allele for yellow fruit (f). This Punnett square shows a cross between two tomato plants.

Genes to traits
Use Punnett squares to calculate ratios of offspring types
Offspring phenotypes: dominant or recessive? How do you determine an organism's phenotype for a trait? Look at the combination of alleles in the organism's genotype for the gene that affects that trait. Some alleles have types called dominant and recessive. These two types can cause different versions of the trait to a...
To determine how many boxes in the Punnett square represent offspring with red fruit or yellow fruit, consider whether each phenotype is the dominant or recessive allele's version of the fruit color trait. The question tells you that the F allele, which is for red fruit, is dominant over the f allele, which is for yell...

An object has different properties. A property of an object can tell you how it looks, feels, tastes, or smells. Properties can also tell you how an object will behave when something happens to it. Different objects can have properties in common. You can use these properties to put objects into groups. Grouping objects...
Look at each object. For each object, decide if it has that property. A smooth object is not scratchy or rough. All four objects are smooth. A flexible object can be folded or bent without breaking easily. The helium balloons and the silk tie are flexible, but the trombone is not. A slippery object is hard to hold onto...

Magnets
Compare strengths of magnetic forces
Magnets can pull or push on each other without touching. When magnets attract, they pull together. When magnets repel, they push apart. These pulls and pushes between magnets are called magnetic forces. The stronger the magnetic force between two magnets, the more strongly the magnets attract or repel each other.
Distance affects the strength of the magnetic force. But the distance between the magnets in Pair 1 and in Pair 2 is the same. So, the strength of the magnetic force is the same in both pairs.
