Our Amazing Solar System

Transcript of Our Amazing Solar System
35126892
SunOur Brightest Star
bull Approximately one million Earths can fit inside the Sun
bull The center of the Sun is made of helium
bull There are dark blotches on the Suns surface called Sunspots These are cooler areas of the Sun
bull 45 pounds of sunlight hit Earth every second
Our Solar System
bull Consists of nine planetsbull All revolve around the Sun which is the main source of light and
heat for these nine planetsbull It is the Suns strong pull of gravity which keeps the planets in
orbit around it
MercuryOur Fastest Planet
bull The closest Planet to the Sunbull Only a little larger than our
moonbull It is covered by dust rocks
and cratersbull It takes 59 days for it to
rotate once around its axisbull Mercury can reach a high of
800 degrees and a low of about 300 degrees Fahrenheit
VenusOur Hottest Planet
bull It takes longer to rotate once around its axis than to revolve once around the sun
bull On Venus a day is slightly more than a year
bull About the same size as Earthbull Has mountains valleys and
plains bull The heat is about 450 degrees
Celsiusbull Has no water bull Life as we know it could not
survive here Only rocks can handle the high temperature and crushing pressure
EarthOur Mother Planet
bull 70 of its surface is wateramp the other 30 is land
bull Itrsquos tilt causes the seasons on the planet
bull Earth is the only planet in the universe which is known to support life
bull Earth is almost five billion years old
bull The center of the Earth its core is molten
bull Earth is the only planet in the Solar System known to be geologically active
MarsOur Angry Red Planet
bull The largest volcano in the Solar System is on Mars called Olympus Mons
bull Mars has seasons like Earth This is caused by the tilt of the planets axis at a similar angle to the tilt of Earths axis
bull Rocks from Mars have landed on Earth from meteorite impacts blasting debris through space
bull The average temperature on Mars is about -67 degF
Jupiter Our Largest Planet
bull Earth could fit into Jupiter over 1300 times
bull Jupiter is made up almost entirely of gas
bull Jupiters famous Red Spot is a great storm that has raged for at least four hundred years
bull Jupiter has a thin set of rings hardly visible from Earth
bull Jupiter has the strongest pull of gravity in the Solar System
bull If we were able to stand on the surface of Jupiter we would weigh three times as much as we would on Earth
SaturnRings of Beauty
bull Saturn is the second largest planetbull The many moons of Saturn are as
different as fire and ice There are at least 24 of them
bull Saturns rings are believed to be the particles of an old moon orbiting the planet smashed apart in a collision about 50 million years ago A year on Saturn would take almost thirty Earth years
bull Saturn is twice as far away from the Sun as Jupiter is
Uranusbull It takes just over 84 years on Earth
for Uranus to orbit the Sunbull Uranus is the only planet in our
solar system to rotate on its sidebull If we were able to see Uranus
moons orbiting the planet they would go over and under the planet like lights on a ferris wheel
bull Uranus pale blue color is caused by the methane in its atmosphere which filters out red light
Neptunebull Neptune sometimes orbits the Sun
further away than Pluto making it the most distant planet in the Solar System
bull Since its discovery in 1846 Neptune has not yet completed a full orbit In fact it takes 165 years for the planet to go around the Sun
bull Neptune has the strongest winds in the Solar System and a dark spot similar to Jupiters Great Red Spot
bull Mercurybull Venusbull Earthbull Mars
Inner Planets
bull This is between Mars and Jupiter and separates the inner and outer planets
Asteroid Belt
bull Jupiterbull Saturnbull Uranusbull Neptune
Outer Planets
Solar Eclipsebull A total solar eclipse is not
noticeable until the Sun is more than 90-percent covered by the Moon At 99-percent coverage daytime lighting resembles twilight
bull The longest duration for a total solar eclipse is 75 minutes
bull At any specific geographic location on the globe a total solar eclipse can occur only once every 360 years on average
bull Local animals and birds often prepare for sleep or behave confusedly during a total solar eclipse Local temperatures often drop 20 degrees or more near totality
Lunar Eclipsebull A lunar eclipse happens when the
Moon passes through the Earths shadow
bull Lunar eclipses can only occur at full Moon
bull Lunar eclipses can last for more than three hours because the Moon and the Earth are moving slowly in relation to each other and the shadow cast by the Earth is so large
bull Lunar eclipses are visible over an entire hemisphere and can never happen more than three times a year

Solar Eclipsebull A total solar eclipse is not
noticeable until the Sun is more than 90-percent covered by the Moon At 99-percent coverage daytime lighting resembles twilight
bull The longest duration for a total solar eclipse is 75 minutes
bull At any specific geographic location on the globe a total solar eclipse can occur only once every 360 years on average
bull Local animals and birds often prepare for sleep or behave confusedly during a total solar eclipse Local temperatures often drop 20 degrees or more near totality
Lunar Eclipsebull A lunar eclipse happens when the
Moon passes through the Earths shadow
bull Lunar eclipses can only occur at full Moon
bull Lunar eclipses can last for more than three hours because the Moon and the Earth are moving slowly in relation to each other and the shadow cast by the Earth is so large
bull Lunar eclipses are visible over an entire hemisphere and can never happen more than three times a year

Jupiter Our Largest Planet
bull Earth could fit into Jupiter over 1300 times
bull Jupiter is made up almost entirely of gas
bull Jupiters famous Red Spot is a great storm that has raged for at least four hundred years
bull Jupiter has a thin set of rings hardly visible from Earth
bull Jupiter has the strongest pull of gravity in the Solar System
bull If we were able to stand on the surface of Jupiter we would weigh three times as much as we would on Earth
SaturnRings of Beauty
bull Saturn is the second largest planetbull The many moons of Saturn are as
different as fire and ice There are at least 24 of them
bull Saturns rings are believed to be the particles of an old moon orbiting the planet smashed apart in a collision about 50 million years ago A year on Saturn would take almost thirty Earth years
bull Saturn is twice as far away from the Sun as Jupiter is
Uranusbull It takes just over 84 years on Earth
for Uranus to orbit the Sunbull Uranus is the only planet in our
solar system to rotate on its sidebull If we were able to see Uranus
moons orbiting the planet they would go over and under the planet like lights on a ferris wheel
bull Uranus pale blue color is caused by the methane in its atmosphere which filters out red light
Neptunebull Neptune sometimes orbits the Sun
further away than Pluto making it the most distant planet in the Solar System
bull Since its discovery in 1846 Neptune has not yet completed a full orbit In fact it takes 165 years for the planet to go around the Sun
bull Neptune has the strongest winds in the Solar System and a dark spot similar to Jupiters Great Red Spot
bull Mercurybull Venusbull Earthbull Mars
Inner Planets
bull This is between Mars and Jupiter and separates the inner and outer planets
