  1. The solar system

  2. The Hitch-Hikers guide to the Solar System. In this Presentation there will be information about the nine planets, meteors, moons, comets and other interesting sights of our solar system.

  3. The Sun The heat of this star repels all but the hardiest holidaymakers. Sun block is a must although if you don’t put on enough you will most definitely be incinerated. Factor 2 million is recommended or factor 5 million for more sensitive skins. Careful when passing through the corona - temperatures soar to a few million degrees C there! Period of Rotation 25-36 Earth Days Radius: 695,000 km Mass: 1.989e+30 kg Major Atmospheric Gas: Hydrogen Average temperature: 6,000 degrees Celsius

  4. Mercury With a temperature of up to 450 degrees in daylight, Visiting Mercury in peak season, you will need, extra extra strong sun block, protection 1 million.

  5. Venus With clouds filled with Sulphuric acid you should not carry any limestone on you, therefore make sure umbrellas and good shelter will help you with a not very enjoyable holiday in a hotter planet then Mercury. Beware of the power of pressure Or your hopes for a perfect holiday will be crushed.

  6. Earth As you may or may not know of the Earth’s statistics, here are a few to get your brains racing, which are over on the other side. If you are a holiday maker visiting Earth be in disguise if you don’t want to be experimented on, and also do not come here if you are allergic to nitrogen, oxygen or hydrogen.

  7. The Moon It takes the moon 1 moonth or month to orbit our Earth, it is pulled by the earth’s gravity and has 1 fifth of the the earth’s gravitational pull. The moon has some beautiful sites, with the Apollo sites and the sea of tranquillity, but don’t bring a costume because you might dive into nothing!

  8. Mars If you are an Earthling then the safest planet to visit Mars. The red planet provide some great places for having a picnic on Mt. Olympus. Position: Fourth from Sun Distance from Sun: 227,940,000 km Mars Day: 24.6 Earth Hours Mars Year: 686.98 Earth Days Orbital Speed: 24.2 km/sec Eccentricity of Orbit: 0.093 Satellites: Two Diameter: 6,794 km Mass: 6.4219e23 kg M ajor Atmospheric Gas: Carbon Dioxide

  9. Moons of Mars Phobos and Deimos are the two moons of Mars. They are: Phobos Deimos

  10. Jupiter If you are mad enough to visit Jupiter make sure you wrap up warm. The temperature is way below 0 and the frost bite is a killer.

  11. Moons of Jupiter

  12. Saturn Position: Sixth from Sun Distance from Sun: 1,427 million km Saturn Day: 10 hours, 14 minutes Saturn Year: 29.5 Earth Years Orbital Speed: 9.7 km/sec Eccentricity of Orbit: 0.056 Satellites: 18 (plus rings) Equatorial Diameter: 120,536 km Polar Diameter: 108,728 km Mass: 5.688e26 kg Major Atmospheric Gas: Hydrogen Saturn will be a bit bracing when you reach the icy exterior, the ring around it will severely damage your ship if you go through it but no-one is that dumb.

  13. Moons of Saturn

  14. Uranus Position: Seventh from Sun Distance from Sun: 2,870,990,000 km Uranus Day: .72 Earth Days Uranus Year: 84.01 Earth Years Orbital Speed: 6.6 km/sec Eccentricity of Orbit: 0.047 Satellites: 15 (plus rings) Diameter: 51,800 km Mass: 8.686e25 kg Major Atmospheric Gas: Hydrogen Uranus is a nice place to visit when you’ve got right equipment. The planet itself does have some interesting views.

  15. Moons of Uranus

  16. Neptune Position: Eighth from Sun Distance from Sun: 4,504,000,000 km (30.06 AU) Neptune Day: 0.75 Earth Days Neptune Year: 164.83 Earth Years Orbital Speed: 5.4 km/sec Eccentricity of Orbit: 0.0097 Satellites: 8 (plus rings) Diameter: 49,528 km Mass: 1.0247e26 kg Major Atmospheric Gas: Hydrogen If your planning to visit the Planet of the king of the seas. This Planet will have you hopping about because of the frozen surface .

  17. Moons of Neptune

  18. Pluto and Charon Pluto and Charon are quite far out in the Solar system and are yet to become too much of a tourist attraction - it is probably due to the tiny size of this planet and moon. Nonetheless Pluto and Charon are quite nice to visit because of the lack of crowds. Its quite a trip though so bring an extra warp drive it’s a long long long long long way to get back without one. Mass (kg) Mean Distance From Sun (km) Orbital Period (years) Radius at Equator (km) Number of Moons 1.27E+22 5,913,520,000 248.54 1,137 1

  19. Comets and meteors If you are low on fuel you may be tempted to hitch a lift on a comet of a meteorite. This is not recommended though as these can be unpredictable and very fast. Comets are best viewed from a little way away and are a great spectacle. If you prefer fireworks though follow a meteorite - if your lucky it’ll hit something and you can watch those sparks fly. A word of warning however, Just don’t be sat on the meteorite at the time!

  20. Galaxies Nearby The M-79 galaxy is an ideal place to start a relationship. Beware when visiting other galaxies, you could run into either Klingons, Cardasians, Rhomulans or species 14287 The Borg. Beware of the Vulcan ships, and also bird’s of prey will cut you down to size, you need to have Warp drive.l

  21. Thank-you for listening to the hitch-hikers guide to the Solar System.
