  3. What is in the Solar System? • The Solar system is the objects that orbit the sun. • Planets • Moons • Comets • Asteroids

  4. Let’s talk about planets!! • A planet is a large and round body that orbits a star and shines with reflected light from a star. • There are 9 planets in our solar system: • My mother very educated mother just sold us nine pizzas. • Mercury • Venus • Earth • Mars • Jupiter • Saturn • Uranus • Neptune • Pluto

  6. Venus • Earths nieghboor • No moons or rings • Very hot and thick atmosphere • Brightest object in sky besides sun and moon (looks like bright star) • Covered with craters, volcanoes, and mountains • It is the sixth largest planet.

  8. Mars • Fourth planet from sun • In night-time mars appears to be a reddish color. • On the surface of mars there are volcanoes and huge dust storms

  9. Jupiter • It is the largest planet in the solar system • Jupiter is about 11 times the size of Earth • Has a giant red spot seen on the surface of Jupiter • Second brightest planet next to Venus

  10. Saturn • One of the largest planets • Known for the giant rings around the planet • Saturn has 31 moons surrounding it • Saturn has been explored • It is visible at night from Earth

  14. Comets small icy bodies Comets give off gases and dust as they pass by travel pass the sun Asteroids About 100,000 asteroids are between Mars and Jupiter Asteroids are believed to be billions of years old Comets and Asteroids
