INTRODUCTION
The solar system is made up of the
Sun and everything that orbits or
moves around it.
This includes the planets, moons ,
dwarf planets, and space rocks
(comets, meteors, and asteroids).
HOW DID THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Scientists believe that the solar
system formed about 4.6 billion
years ago.
First , the Sun was born from a
spinning cloud of dust and hot
gases.
Next , the rocks, dust, and gas
particles that orbit around the
Sun formed the planets.
THE SUN
• The Sun is the center of
the Solar System and is
composed mostly of hydrogen
and helium.
• It is the source of the
energy which makes life on
Earth possible.
• The eight planets orbit
around the Sun in elliptical
orbits.
WHAT IS THE NAME
OF PLANETS?
MERCURY
Mercury is the closest planet
to the Sun.
Because it is so close to
the Sun, it is very hot in
Mercury during the daytime.
The temperature can reach
up to 430 degrees Celsius
(806 degrees Fahrenheit).
VENUS
Venus is the second planet
from the Sun. It is between
Mercury and Earth.
Even though it is farther
from the Sun, Venus gets
hotter than Mercury during
the daytime.
It becomes hot because it
has a thick and dense layer
of gases surrounding it.
EARTH
Earth is the third planet from
the Sun.
It lies in what scientists call the
“Goldilocks zone”, which means it is
at a distance that that is not
too close or too far away from
the Sun.
The distance from Earth to the
Sun is one of the most
important factors that enable the
planet to support life.
MARS
Mars is the fourth planet
from the Sun.
It is between Earth and
Jupiter.
The atmosphere on Mars is
quite dusty.
The dust is blown around by
the wind in huge dust devils.
Dust devils are strong, well -
formed swirls of wind and
dust.
JUPITER
Jupiter is the fifth planet
from the Sun.
It is the biggest planet in
the solar system.
It is even bigger than all
the other planets put
together.
It has a small, rocky core.
The rest of it is made of
liquid and gas clouds.
SATURN
Saturn is the sixth planet
from the Sun.
Like Jupiter, it also has a
small, rocky core.
The rest of it is also made
of liquid and gas clouds.
It is smaller than Jupiter,
but it is still a big planet.
It is more than 700 times
the size of Earth.
URANUS
Uranus is the seventh planet
from the Sun.
It is a freezing cold planet
with a rocky and icy core.
Its mantle or middle layer is
composed of molten iron.
The outermost layer is an
atmosphere of methane, which
makes Uranus appear blue -
green in color.
NEPTUNE
Neptune is the eighth
planet from the Sun.
It is the most distant
planet in the solar system.
It is about 30 times
farther from the Sun than
Earth. Beyond Neptune,
there are dwarf planets,
asteroids, and comets.
