Slide 2 What is the relationship between the planets and the sun? By Harry Cummins Slide 3 The beginning Billions of years ago a big bang took place a bang that gave birth to our Solar System Today you will walk out of this room with a new thought on your minds a thought about the planets and how they relate to our nearest star The Sun. Slide 4 The Solar System Today astronomers are trying to find other galaxies far away by using high Tech. Equipment such as small probes and rockets. Our Solar System is made up of billions of stars and it is theorized that for each grain of sand on Earth there is a star. Of course there are the planets all 8 of them. Join me on my journey of the planets and the Sun Slide 5 Quick find of the planets MercuryVenus Earth Mars JupiterSaturn UranusNeptune The Sun Comparing Conclusion Credits Slide 6 Mercury Roman messenger god Planet:Mercury Diameter:4.878km No. of moons:0 No. of rings:0 Spin period:58.65 d.

Average orbit speed:6.81 km/sec How long to orbit sun:84.01 years Average temperature:-210C Slide 13 Neptune Roman god of the sea Planet:Neptune Diameter:49,528 No. of moons:8 No. of rings:4 Spin period:16.12 hours Average distance from sun:4496.6 million km Time for sunlight to reach planet:4 h. 10 m. Average orbit speed:5.43 km/sec How long to orbit sun:164.79 years Average temperature:-220C Slide 14 Now that you have seen all the planets lets compare them to the sun the light bulb of our galaxy Slide 15 THE SUN Star typeYellow main sequence Diameter1,392,000 km Average surface temp.5,500C Average core temp.15,000,000C Average distance from earth149.6 million km Polar rotation35 earth days Equatorial rotation25 earth days Slide 16 Comparing Size: Sun Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Earth Venus Mars Mercury Temperature Slide 17 Conclusion For a conclusion I have to say that the sun is bigger and hotter than all the planets, just to paint a picture in your head about how big the sun is The Sun's mass is about 333,000 times Earth's mass. An object at the Sun's surface would weigh 28 times as much as it does on Earth's surface because it is way bigger so it must have more gravity Slide 18 Bibliography Google.
