BTW these numbers refer to those • serves as moderator in the course book SIO15-18: Lecture 3 The Solar System and the Layered Earth any substance solid � ice liquid � water gas � water vapor/steam any phase change costs or releases energy Figure number in the book Fig. 2.12 SIO15-18: Lecture 3 The Solar System and the Layered Earth 3

Marshak “Earth, Portrait of a Planet” momentum: p = m*v angular momentum: L = I* Ω planets have 99% of angular momentum comparable angular momentum -> inner planets orbit faster than outer planets (like skater tugging in arms) SIO15-18: Lecture 3 The Solar System and the Layered Earth 5
