Astudent wants to make an analogy to her remember the characteristics of the planets. which analogy makes the most sense?

the inner planets are like cotton candy and the outer planets are like hard butterscotch candy.

the outer planets are like bowling balls and the inner planets are like basketballs.

the inner planets are like hard butterscotch candy and the outer planets are like cotton candy.

the outer planets are like roses and the inner planets are like daisies.

The inner planets are like hard butterscotch candy and the outer planets are like cotton candy.

Explanation:

The solar system has 4 inner planets and 4 outer planets. The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are small terrestrial planets -having rocky surface. The outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are large Jovian planets composed of gases. The outer planets are characterized by the presence of ring system and many number of moons as compared to inner planets. Thus, the correct analogy would be that inner planets are like hard butterscotch candy and outer planets are like cotton candy.

the overall balanced equation

6co2 + 6h2o > c6h12o6 + 6o2

sunlight energy

where: co2 = carbon dioxide

h2o = water

light energy is required

c6h12o6 = glucose

o2 = oxygen
