Searching Tips
Remember that the names of planets and other heavenly bodies are used in many different ways in our language. When you are searching for information on your planet, use the name of your planet and other keyword to ensure that you don’t get noisy results, for example: cars, candy bars, and cartoon characters. In Google you won’t need to include AND. You will need to include words and phrases to help you disambiguate or clarify what you are really looking for! In //databases// try strategies like these: saturn AND planet
