  1. Our Solar System By: Jazmin Soung

  2. The Sun • The Sun’s surface is much cooler than it’s atmosphere . • Why is the Sun hot? • The Sun was born in a vast cloud of gas and dust. • The Sun’s surface temp is 10,000F. • The Sun is made up of hot, glowing gases.

  3. Mercury • A whole year to Mercury is 88 days. • How hot is Mercury? • Mercury is just a little larger than Earth’s moon. • Mercury has no atmosphere. • Inside: Large Cool Iron Core.

  4. Venus • Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System. • Venus is known as the Morning Star and the Evening Star. • Venus is the closest neighbor to the Earth. • Why can the surface of Venus not be photographed from space? • Inside: Nickle Iron, Silicate.

  5. Earth • Earth has a moon named Luna. • To orbit around the Sun once it takes Earth 365.3 days. • Earth is the biggest of all terrestrial planets. • How did Earth form? • Inside: Nickle Iron, Silicate .

  6. Mars • Mars has the largest canyon in the Solar System. • Mars has a very thin atmosphere . • It would take about 6 months for a spacecraft to get to Mars. • What happened to the water on Mars? • Inside: Nickle Iron, Silicate.

  7. Jupiter • Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the Sun. • Jupiter is by far the largest planet. • Jupiter is the 4th brightest object in the sky. • Is Jupiter a bright or a faint object in Earth’s sky? • Inside: Rocky Core, Liquid Metallic Hydrogen, Liquid Hydrogen.

  8. Saturn • Saturn’s mass is 95 times more than Earth. • Saturn is a flatten ball. • Saturn has only been visited 4 times by spacecraft • How many rings does Saturn have? • Inside: Liquid Metallic Hydrogen, Liquid Hydrogen.

  9. Uranus • Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the Sun. • Uranus is the coldest planet in the Solar System. • Summer on Uranus lasts 42 years. • Why is Uranus the coldest planet? • Inside: Rocky Core, Water, Liquid Hydrogen.

  10. Neptune • Neptune is one of the Solar System’s gas giants. • Neptune takes 16 hours and 17 min. to rotate around the Sun once. • Neptune’s average temp: -184 C. • Does Neptune have rings? • Inside: Rocky Core, Water, Liquid Hydrogen.

  11. Answers • The Sun: because the Sun is made out of HOT, glowing gases • Mercury: 465 C • Venus: the atmosphere of Venus is 100% cloudy ( so it’s too cloudy to take pictures ) • Earth: the dust and gas from the Solar System formed into the Earth • Mars: the heat from the Sun dried up all the water • Jupiter: a bright object • Saturn: 7 rings • Uranus: because Uranus is far from the Sun • Neptune: yes ( Neptune has several rings ) • For more information go to: http://solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/index.cfm
