Do you. see any differences in the lengths of a day for the different types of planets. Explain briefly. • Which planets would you expect not to have seasons? Why? • Which column tells you how much a planet's orbit deviates from a perfect circle? Based on that column, are there any planets for which you would expect the surface temperature to vary significantly over the course of each orbit? Explain.
