Welcome to the Planets is an outstanding resource for teachers wishing to incorporate planetary studies into their curriculum. This website includes colored pictures of the planets and access to information on their masses, densities, revolution and rotation periods, mean temperatures, atmospheric components, etc. Also, there are colored pictures of space exploration vehicles with information on their structures, assemblies, orbiting information, and dates of deployments. Included within this website is a glossary of terms.
