Solar System
  • Planets
  • Moons
  • Asteroids
  • Comets

Planets
The four smaller inner planets, Mercury,
Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the
terrestrial planets.
The two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune.
The two largest, Jupiter and Saturn.
Pluto is not longer counted as a planet. But
is now considered the largest member of a
distinct population known as the Kuiper belt.
5
The Sun
  • The Scientific name is Sol.
  • If hollow, one million Earths could fit inside.
  • It acts as a giant magnet.
  • The Suns surface is 6,000 degrees celcius, but
    its atmosphere is millions of degrees.

6
Mercury
  • It takes 87,969 days for Mercury to orbit the
    Sun one time.
  • It has no moons.
  • There is almost no air on Mercury.
  • Mercury is so hot that you could burn to death
    during the day, but spins so slowly you could
    freeze to death at night.

7
Venus
  • It takes 224,701 days to orbit the Sun.
  • You would way 63 pounds here if you weighed 70
    pounds on Earth.
  • It is 67 million miles away from the Sun.
  • Venus has no moons.

8
Earth
  • It takes 365.3 days orbit the Sun.
  • We are 93 million miles away from the Sun.
  • It contains the only human life we know of.
  • Earth has just the perfect combination of
    weather, temperature, and atmosphere to keep us
    alive.

9
Mars
  • It takes 696.98 days to orbit the Sun.
  • Mars is 142 million miles away from the sun.
  • Weighing 70 pounds on Earth, you would weigh 27
    on mars.
  • Mars has two moons, Deimos and Phobos.

10
Jupiter
  • It takes Jupiter 4332.59 days to complete one
    orbit around the Sun.
  • You would weight 125 pounds on Jupiter if you
    weighed 70 pounds on Earth.
  • Jupiter has 63 moons
  • It only takes 10 hours to go from night to day
    here.

11
Uranus
  • It takes 30,684 days for Uranus to orbit the
    Sun.
  • It is 1,784 millions miles away from the Sun.
  • It is the only planet that spins on its side.
  • You would weigh 82 pounds here, if you weighed 70
    pounds on Earth.
  • It has 27 moons.

12
Neptune
  • It takes 60,190 days to orbit the Sun.
  • It was discovered in 1846.
  • It has 6 rings that surround it.
  • Since Neptune is too far away, scientist know of
    13 moons for sure, but there could be many more
    to be discovered.
  • It is 2,794 million miles away from the Sun.

13
Saturn
  • It takes 10,759.2 days to orbit the Sun.
  • Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar
    system. Its diameter is 88,846 miles.
  • It would take more than 1,000 Earths to fill up
    the volume of the giant planet.
  • Saturn has 34 moons.
  • It is 888 millions away from the sun.
