-====== 4. Interiors of Planets ======
-By the end of this chapter, you should be able to:
-  - **Model** planetary interiors using measurements of mass, moment of inertia, $J_2$, and $\Lambda$.
-  - **Examine** available data on the interiors of the solar system planets.
-  - **Plot** Earth's density profile using seismic information and the Williams-Adams algorithm.
-  - **Derive** an equation to estimate a planet’s internal temperature from its radius, density, and heat capacity.
-  - **Use** dimensional analysis to determine the region of the lithosphere from which heat escapes.
-  - **Explain** why Earth remains hot and tectonically active using results from learning goals 4 and 5.
