Models of the Solar System
In the geocentric model, Earth is at the center of the revolving planets.
Aristotle stated that the earth was in the center of the solar system.
Ptolemy stated that the earth was in the center of the universe. He thought that the planets moved in small circles as they moved around the sun.

Models of the Solar System
In the heliocentric model, Earth and the other planets revolve around the sun.
This model was developed by Nicolaus Copernicus.

Galileo
Used a telescope to view the solar system.
Observed the four larger moons that orbited Jupiter.
Observed the phases of Venus

Brahe & Kepler
Brahe carefully observed the positions of the planets.
Kepler had wrote laws that explained the behavior of planets orbiting the sun.

Kepler’s Laws of Motion
LAW 1: The orbit of a planet/comet about the Sun is an ellipse with the Sun's center of mass at one focus
![Page 7: 1 The Solar System Chapter 2. 2 Models of the Solar System In the geocentric model, Earth is at the center of the revolving planets. Aristotle stated.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e015503460f94aea825/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Kepler’s Laws of Motion
LAW 2: A line joining a planet/comet and the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal intervals of time
![Page 8: 1 The Solar System Chapter 2. 2 Models of the Solar System In the geocentric model, Earth is at the center of the revolving planets. Aristotle stated.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e015503460f94aea825/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Kepler’s Laws of Motion
LAW 3: The farther a planet is from the sun, the longer the orbital period.

Forces that Keeps Planets in Orbit Around the Sun Newton concluded that
two factors, inertia & gravity, combine to keep the planets in orbit. Inertia is tendency
of an object to resist a change in motion.
Gravity is the force that attract all objects toward each other.

The Sun
The sun produces its energy from nuclear fusion (core must reach 15 million degree Celsius).
Sun’s Atmosphere: The photosphere is the
inner layer of the sun that makes light.
The chromosphere is the middle layer and produces color.
The corona is the outer layer of the sun and produces ultraviolet radiation.
![Page 11: 1 The Solar System Chapter 2. 2 Models of the Solar System In the geocentric model, Earth is at the center of the revolving planets. Aristotle stated.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e015503460f94aea825/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Solar Features
Solar winds are a stream of electrically charged particles coming from the corona.
Sunspots are areas of gas on the sun that are cooler than the gases around them.
Prominences are reddish loops of gas.
Solar flares are large explosions of gas on photosphere.
