NYS Earth and Space Sciences Reference Tables (2026 Revised Edition)
The Reference Tables for Earth and Space Sciences are a collection of 23 tables, charts, maps, and models that students use throughout the Earth and Space Science course and during the Regents Examination. The 2026 Revised Edition is used in classrooms beginning with the 2026–27 school year; the January 2027 Regents Examination in Earth and Space Sciences is the first exam for which these tables will be used.
Every table below links to a full-size version. Each caption also lists the performance expectation the table primarily supports.

About the 2026 Revised Edition
The 2026 Revised Edition updates a number of values and figures relative to the earlier edition of the reference tables — for example, several entries in the Solar System Objects Data Table (the Sun's period of rotation and diameter, Pallas's diameter, Pluto's axial tilt, and others). Classes still using printed copies of the earlier edition should take note. The current official PDF is published on NYSED's state assessment site, on the page titled "Reference Tables for Earth and Space Sciences".
