What led Copernicus to a Sun-centered model of planetary motion. The outer planets are called Jovian or Jupiter-like.. These planets are made of gas and are several times more massive than the Earth.. The Jovian planets grew to present size in about 10 million years.. Expository writing gives information.. It can:. Explain a subject. Give directions. Show how something happens/works. Topic sentences are vital in expository writing as they are often the only way for the reader to know the main topic. http://www.cs.wright.edu/~tkprasad. Prasad. 1. U3_SolarSystem. SOLAR SYSTEM.
