Question

A student studies about the planets in the solar system. The student makes the following list of characteristics of a planet to help identify it:

W: Planet is a gaseous planet.
X: Planet has more than two moons.
Y: Planet takes longer than one year to revolve around the sun.
Z: Planet was formed after the sun.


Which of the characteristics listed above cannot be used to help identify the planet?

W

X

Y

Z

Answer 1

Z: Planet was formed after the sun.

Step-by-step explanation:

Characteristic Z: The planet was formed after the sun cannot be used to help identify the planet since all the planets in the solar system, including Earth, were formed after the sun. Therefore, this characteristic applies to all planets in the solar system, and it cannot be used to distinguish one planet from another.

Good luck! >:))))
