TRANSCRIPT
Made of mainly gases. Much larger than any planet in the solar
system. Creates the gravity needed to hold planets
in orbit. The sun is the only star in our solar system.
All other stars are in our galaxy outside our main system.
As you look into the night sky, your seeing our galaxy and solar system.
The Sun
The sun is made up of 6 parts; The Corona, Chromospheres, photosphere, Convective zone, radiative zone and the core.
When you look at the sun your seeing the Photosphere.
The Corona is the suns atmosphere The Convective zone is where the gases
circulate The core is where the gases are burning
Continued……Sun
Will the sun burn out or shrink? Scientist have found out that the suns
energy comes from nuclear fusion. Fusion is the joining of two atoms to create
energy. The energy created from hydrogen atoms
fusing creates helium atoms. It then gets sent into other layers and eventually reaches the surface in the form of light energy.

1st planet from the sun Shortest revolution Rotates retrograde (clock wise) Much smaller than earth Its atmosphere is made of Mercury is a terrestrial planet Terrestrial means the type of surface Mercury has little to no atmosphere and manly
composed of Oxygen, sodium and helium. Rotates slow about (173 earth days)
Mercury
2nd planet closest to the sun and the planet before earth.
Terrestrial surface Most like the Earth Smaller than earth Atmosphere made of 2nd fastest revolution of all planets Covered by a layer of clouds that trap heat and
covered by volcanoes. Atmosphere made of carbon dioxide(soda’s) Venus rotates very slowly ( 243 earth days)
Venus- When a volcano meets a tornado!
Most complex planet with every system- water, air, land and life.
5th largest in solar system 23 degree tilt on axis 70 percent of earth is covered by water Mostly 0-100 degrees Atmosphere 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen 3 layers of surface- Crust, mantle and core 365 days in year and 24 hours in a day
Earth- The 3rd rock from the sun!
4th planet from the sun Sometimes called the Red planet and the
Greek name is god of war. Terrestrial planet Home of the largest volcano in the solar
system called Olympus Mons Contains water in polar ice caps 2 moons Smaller than earth Less gravity than earth ( because it is
smaller) 4th longest revolution Rotation is the same as the earth Atmosphere made of 95 percent carbon
dioxide
Mars
Largest of the Gas Giants Jupiter has 4 very large moons called the
Galilean Satellites. Jupiter has a Giant Red Spot made of hot
liquid like substance Greek name is King of the Roman Gods 5th longest revolution Very short rotation of 9 hours and 55
minutes Over 300 times bigger than earth Has more gravitational pull than any other
planet in the solar system Atmosphere is made of Hydrogen and
Helium
Jupiter
6TH planet from the sun Atmosphere made of hydrogen and
helium It’s a Gas Giant Has very visible rings that extend out
from the planet Titian is Saturn's biggest moon and is
one of the biggest moons of any planet.
It takes Saturn 30 earth years to have 1 revolution around the sun
But its day is only 10 ½ hours. 95 times bigger than earth 3 Saturn's can fit into 1 Jupiter
Saturn
Wobbles on its axis Sits on its side and rotates Has 11 rings 14 times larger than earth Takes 83 years to complete 1 revolution Atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium
and methane Methane Gas gives Uranus its color just like
Neptune Last planet in the solar system
Uranus
7th planet from the sun Takes 165 earth years to orbit around the sun 1
time Atmosphere is made of Hydrogen, Helium and
Methane Gases Methane Gas is what give Neptune its pretty
color Has very light and thin rings (4 rings) Has a rotation period of 16 hours Has more gravity than earth because it is
larger.
Neptune
Terrestrial planets are known for their rough surfaces and solid structure.
There is little distance between each planet
Terrestrial planets are the smallest of all the planets and the closest planets to the sun
Terrestrial planets atmospheres are made up of Carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen.
