Question

For each trial, record the orbit number of each planet from the sun. Be sure to indicate the number of planets in the habitable zone after each trial. Create a different configuration of planets for each trial. An example has been supplied for you below.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Trial 1:

Sun - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune

Habitable zone: 1 (Earth)

Trial 2:

Sun - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune - Pluto

Habitable zone: 1 (Earth)

Trial 3:

Sun - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune

Habitable zone: 1 (Earth)

Trial 4:

Sun - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus

Habitable zone: 1 (Earth)

Trial 5:

Sun - Mercury - Venus - Earth - Mars - Jupiter - Saturn - Uranus - Neptune - Ceres - Eris

Habitable zone: 1 (Earth)

Note: The habitable zone refers to the area around a star where the conditions are favorable for the existence of liquid water. Also, in these trials, I included some dwarf planets (Pluto, Ceres, and Eris) for variety, but it's important to note that they may not be considered planets by all definitions.
