Chase Comet’s Amazing Adventure in Space
“Hi I'm Chase Comet, Astronaut Extraordinaire. Welcome to our space
adventure!”
The Sun
“What’s that big bright light over there?”
The Sun is the only part of the Solar System that is burning and exploding every second
The Sun is the only thing that produces heat in our Solar System
From Earth, the Sun appears to rise in the East and set in the West, but the sun never moves… WE DO!
Mercury – Closest Planet to the Sun Mercury is closest to the Sun in our
Solar System, which makes it the hottest planet.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our Solar System
It moves the fastest around the Sun, but rotates very slowly on its axis
A day on Mercury lasts 176 Earth Days (between our sunrise and sunsets)
Venus “The Morning & Evening Star Venus is the hottest of all planets. It is known as the Morning Star & The
Evening Star to our Earth depending on the time of year.
9 out of 10 of the planet’s landforms are Volcanoes
Earth
Earth is the only planet that has life on it
The reason why is Mercury is too hot Venus is too hot and Mars is too cold for living things
It is the third planet from the sun It orbits the sun while spinning to
the East
The Moon (Earth’s Satellite) The moon revolves around the Earth,
meaning it is Earth’s satellite From Earth, it appears to set in the
West The moon never looks the same from
Earth two days in a row because the Earth’s shadow blocks the sunlight from hitting it.
Mars – the Red Planet
Mars is known as the Red Planet because of the way it looks in the sky in outer space
It is the fourth planet away from the sun, and the first spacecraft to land there was the Mariner 4 in 1965
Because water has been found on Mars it is at the top of the list for possible life-bearing planets.
The largest planet in our solar system
Rotates so quickly its days are only 10 hours long
It takes 12 Earth years for Jupiter to orbit around the Sun.
The great red spot on Jupiter is a storm that’s been going on for 300 years
You could put 100 Earths in Jupiter’s red spot
Jupiter – A Heavenly Giant
Saturn is the second largest planet It has seven rings around it. They are
made up of space junk… billions of pieces of rocks and dust
Saturn is so light it could float on water if there was an ocean large enough to hold it.
Saturn – the planet with Rings
All good things must come to an end!Chase Comet says “It’s been a great
trip, but we live on the most beautiful planet of all, so let’s go home!”
