Address the history and current status of the objects known as Dwarf Planets to include their definition, why the classification was created, currently known examples, and where they are located. View this video on Pluto and this video on Chasing Pluto: Classifying a Planet.

Describe the various kinds of SSSB’s found in our solar system including their composition, where they are found, and their behavior. View Halley’s Comet and Small Bodies of the Solar System (this is a supplemental, not required, resource).

The atmospheric regions of the Sun are those regions above the apparent surface of the Sun (the photosphere). Describe these atmospheric regions including relative location, size, and temperature. View The Sun’s Atmosphere.
