This is my power point of everything in the Solar
Solar System, Hope you like it!

2
The Sun
  • The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar
    System.
  • the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the
    rest is mostly helium.
  • the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the
    rest is mostly helium.
  • Its a star of medium size.
  • It appears larger than other stars because its
    closeness to Earth.

3
Mercury
  • Mercury has no atmosphere.
  • The craters were formed 3.7 or 4.5 billion years
    ago.
  • It consists of hills, ridges, and grooves.
  • A series of cliffs are 100s of miles long.
  • Mercurys diameter is around 800 miles long.

4
Venus
  • Its 4.5 billion years old.
  • It has no moons.
  • Its atmosphere is mostly carbon.
  • Its diameter is 12,100 km.
  • Its temperature is 840 degrees.

5
Earth
  • The third planet from the Sun.
  • Only planet that contains of life.
  • Atoms bound together exists in the layer of
    Earths atmosphere.
  • Its a inner planet.
  • It has oxygen.

6
Mars
  • Has a thin atmosphere.
  • The fourth planet from the Sun.
  • Its half the size of Earth.
  • Its a inner planet.
  • Its called the Red Planet.

7
Jupiter
  • 82 hydrogen
  • The 5th planet from the Sun.
  • 18 helium and traces of nearly all other
    elements.
  • Is similar to the Sun with the dominant elements
    of hydrogen and helium
  • Has no surface to speak of.

8
Saturn
  • 94 hydrogen and 6 helium.
  • The 6th planet from the Sun.
  • Outer planet
  • Has a ring system.
  • 27 degrees.

9
Uranus
  • The 7th planet.
  • Outer planet.
  • It has a cold atmosphere.
  • Has a turquoise appearance.
  • 82.5 hydrogen, 15.2 helium, and 2.3 methane.

10
Neptune
  • Mostly contains hydrogen and helium with trace
    amounts of methane, water, ammonia, and other
    ices.
  • Outer planet.
  • 8th planet from the Sun.
  • The color is brighter than Uranus.
  • Neptune has a large proportion of the ices.

11
Pluto
  • Dwarf planet.
  • This enveloping of gases.
  • Clouds of nitrogen surround Pluto.
  • Outer planet.
  • 9th planet from the Sun

12
Asteroids
  • No atmosphere.
  • The mass is less than that of the Moon.
  • By the end of the 19th century there were several
    hundred of them.
  • 26 known larger than 200 km.
  • Asteroids are a class of small Solar System
    bodies in orbit around the Sun.

13
Meteors
  • No atmosphere
  • The visible path of a meteoroid that enters
    Earth's atmosphere its called a meteor, or a
    shooting star or falling star.
  • A meteor is the visible path of a meteoroid that
    has entered the Earth's atmosphere.
  • Meteors become visible between about 40 and 75
    miles above the Earth.
  • A fireball is a brighter-than-usual meteor

14
Comets
  • No atmosphere.
  • Mainly rocky particles and ice
  • When their orbits approach the Sun they vaporize
    and form tails.
  • Almost all are located in the Kuiper Belt and the
    Oort Cloud.
  • A comet is an icy small Solar System body that,
    when close enough to the Sun, displays a visible
    coma (a thin, fuzzy, temporary atmosphere) and
    sometimes also a tail.
