CHAPTER 2 : OUR SOLAR SYSYTEM
I) The Sun
II) The Eight Planets
1) The Earth
2) Mercury - The Swiftest planet
3) Venus - The Hot spot planet
4) Mars – Interior planet
5) Jupiter – The gas giant planet
6) Saturn – Jewel of our solar system
7) Uranus – The Sideways planet
8) Neptune – The Windiest planet
*The Moon*
I) The Sun
The Sun is known as the heart of
our solar system, which is a yellow
dwarf star. It is discovered by the
Ancients. Its gravity holds the solar
system together, it keeps
everything, from the biggest planets
to the smallest particles of debris in
its orbit. The Sun is also control the
seasons, ocean currents, climate,
weather, especially the auroras.
Although we think it is very special,
there are billions of stars like our
Sun existing in the Milky Way
galaxy.
I) The Sun
Due to chemical reactions and
the electric currents in the Sun,
an complex magnetic field is
formed and it carried out
through the solar system by
Solar Wind – a stream of
electrically charged gas blowing
outward the Sun in all directions.
II) The Eight Planets
78.08% nitrogen (N2; dry air)
II) The Eight Planets 20.95% oxygen (O2)
1) The Earth ~ 1% water vapor (climate variable)
0.9340% argon
Our green planet keeps a distance of 150 million
0.0408% carbon dioxide
kilometers ( 1 AU). Until now scientists have 0.00182% neon
discovered some planet which people can live in it. 0.00052% helium
However its distance between our Earth and those 0.00017% methane
planets is very far. The Earth’s atmosphere contains 0.00011% krypton
about 79% nitrogen, 21% oxygen and 1% is other 0.00006% hydrogen
gases and it also has a special role in protecting our
planet. Without it, many meteoroid will hit our Earth,
destroying lives on it. Another thing will protect us is
Earth’s magnetosphere, it will stop the solar wind,
which is bad for our body and electric equipment. Its
radius is just over 6370 km.
II) The Eight Planets atomic oxygen
sodium
2) Mercury - The Swiftest planet magnesium
atomic hydrogen
The smallest planet in the entire solar potassium
calcium
system and the nearest to the Sun, it's only helium
slightly larger than our Moon. It keeps a Trace amounts of iron, aluminium, argon,
dinitrogen, dioxygen, carbon dioxide, water
distance of 58 million km (0.4 AU). Its radius vapor, xenon, krypton, and neon
is 2440 km. Due to its distance, it makes a
complete orbit around the Sun which is only
88 days and at a huge speed of 170 thousand
km/h. However, it spins slowly on its axis,
one day- night cycle on Mercury takes up to
176 Earth day.
96.5% carbon dioxide
II) The Eight Planets 3.5% nitrogen
3) Venus - The Hot spot planet
0.015% sulfur dioxide
0.0070% argon
0.0020% water vapour
This planet is the same as our Earth 0.0017% carbon monoxide
about the radius. Its radius is over 6000 0.0012% helium
0.0007% neon
km, which is slightly smaller than Earth. Trace carbonyl sulfide
From an average distance of 108 million Trace hydrogen chloride
Trace hydrogen fluoride
kilometers, Venus is 0.7 astronomical
units away from the Sun. The sunlight
only take 6 minutes to go from the sun to
Venus. Its orbiting velocity is slower than
Mercury, which is 126 thousand km/h It
is a unique planet by orbiting backwards,
the Sun rises in West and sets in East.
95.97% carbon dioxide
II) The Eight Planets 1.93% argon
1.89% nitrogen
4) Mars – Interior planet 0.146% oxygen
0.0557% carbon monoxide
When we hear its name and see it, we thought it’s 0.0210% water vapor
hot. However it’s a cold, dusty and desert planet. The 0.0100% nitrogen oxide
fourth planet keeps a distance of 228 million km 0.00025% neon
from the Sun (1,52 AU). From this distance, it takes 0.00008% hydrogen deuterium oxide
0.00003% krypton
sunlight 13 minutes to travel from the Sun to Mars.
0.00001% xenon
With a radius of 2,106 miles (3,390 kilometers),
Mars is about half the size of Earth. As Mars orbits
the Sun, it completes one rotation every 24.6 hours,
which is very similar to one day on Earth (23.9
hours). Therefore A year on Mars lasts 669.6 sols,
which is the same as 687 Earth days. (Sols: Solar
day)
II) The Eight Planets 89%±2.0% hydrogen (H2)
10%±2.0% helium (He)
5) Jupiter – The gas giant planet
0.3%±0.1% methane (CH4)
With a radius of 70 thousand km, its size is twice as
0.026%±0.004% ammonia (NH3)
massive as all the other planets combined. Although
0.0028%±0.001% hydrogen
the rings on Jupiter isn’t huge and bright like Saturn,
deuteride (HD)
Jupiter has rings through Voyager mission in 1979. Its
0.0006%±0.0002% ethane (C2H6)
atmosphere is made up of hydrogen (H2) and helium
0.0004%±0.0004% water (H2O)
(He), which makes it become a bright planet. Due to
its structure, Jupiter doesn’t have any true surface, it
has many layers of gases and those layers are 71 km
thick! Because of it, there are many unstoppable
storm and it happens for years. For example: The
Great Red Spot, a swirling oval of clouds twice as wide
as Earth, has been observed on the giant planet for
more than 300 years! More recently, three smaller
ovals merged to form the Little Red Spot, about half
the size of its larger cousin.
II) The Eight Planets 96.3%±2.4% hydrogen (H2)
6) Saturn – Jewel of our solar system 3.25%±2.4% helium (He)
0.45%±0.2% methane (CH4)
It is the second largest planet in solar system with a 0.0125%±0.0075% ammonia (NH3)
radius of 58 thousand km, it’s also the sixth planet. 0.0110%±0.0058% hydrogen
Like Jupiter, it’s also made up of hydrogen (H2) and deuteride (HD)
helium (He) in atmosphere. It is 1.5 billion km (9.5 0.0007%±0.00015% ethane (C2H6)
AU) away from the Sun. Sunlight takes 80 minutes to
travel from the Sun to this planet At Saturn's center
is a dense core of metals like iron and nickel
surrounded by rocky material and other compounds
solidified by the intense pressure and heat. However
it’s smaller than Mars. And Saturn is the only planet
in our solar system whose average density is less
than water. The giant gas planet could float in a
bathtub if such a colossal thing existed. Its
magnetosphere is smaller than Jupiter but it still
stronger than our Earth’s ones.
83 ± 3% hydrogen (H2)
II) The Eight Planets 15 ± 3% helium (He)
2.3% methane (CH4)
7) Uranus – The Sideways planet 0.009% (0.007–0.015%) hydrogen deuteride
The seventh planet is discovered by William Herschel on (HD)
13th March 1781. The atmosphere contains hydrogen (H2), hydrogen sulfide (H2S)
helium (He) and methane (CH4). Like Jupiter and Saturn it ammonia (NH3)
also has rings, too. Its radius is 25 thousand km, which is 4 water (H2O)
times wider than our Earth. With a distance of 2.8 billion ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH)
methane hydrate
km (19.8 AU) away from the Sun. Behind its atmosphere is
made up of a hot dense fluid of "icy" materials—water,
methane and ammonia—above a small rocky core. Near
the core, it heats up to 50000C. The magnetosphere is
unusual, irregular shape
Therefore Auroras on Uranus are not in line with the poles (like
they are on Earth, Jupiter and Saturn) due to the lopsided magnetic
field. Uranus has two sets of rings. The inner system of nine rings
consists mostly of narrow, dark grey rings. There are two outer
rings: the innermost one is reddish like dusty rings elsewhere in the
solar system, and the outer ring is blue like Saturn's ring. Uranus
has 27 known moons. William Herschel
II) The Eight Planets 80%±3.2% hydrogen (H2)
8) Neptune – The Windiest planet 19%±3.2% helium (He)
1.5%±0.5% methane (CH4)
The last planet in the solar system, it also the
~0.019% hydrogen deuteride (HD)
furthest planet. More than 30 times as far from the ~0.00015% ethane (C2H6)
Sun as Earth, it takes 165 years to complete an ammonia (NH3)
orbit. Neptune is discovered through mathematical water (H2O)
calculation and prediction by Urbain Le Verrier, ammonium hydrosulfide (NH4SH)
John Couch Adams and Johann Galle on 23rd methane ice (?) (CH4·5.75H2O)
September 1846. With a radius of 24,622 km ,
Neptune is about four times wider than Earth. The
distance between Neptune and the Sun is 4.5 billion
km (30AU) so it takes sunlight 4 hours to travel
from the Sun to Neptune. The atmosphere of this
planet isn’t different from Uranus
II) The Eight Planets
*The Moon*
Our Moon is the brightest and most familiar object in UNKNOWN
the night sky. In many ways, the Moon is responsible for
making Earth such a great home. It stabilizes our
planet’s wobble, which has made the climate less

variable over thousands of years.
Scientists say that when Earth was a young planet, a
large chunk of rock smashed into it, displacing a
portion of Earth's interior. The resulting chunks
clumped together and formed our Moon. With a radius
of 1738 km, the Moon is the fifth largest moon in our
entire solar system. The Moon is an average of 400
thousand km away. That means 30 Earth’s sized planet
could fit in between Earth and Moon.
III) Dwarf Planet
Dwarf planet is a planetary- mass object which does not dominate its
region of space and is not a satellite. It is formed by the International
Astronomical Union ( IAU) on 24th August 2006. According to IAU, these
planets are recognized as dwarf planet:

CHAPTER 3: beyond our solar system
I) Stars
II) Galaxy:
I) Stars
In a night without any city lights or clouds,
we can see about 3000 different stars in the
sky through our eyes. However, there are
billions stars in the sky that our eyes can’t
see them. The Sun is also a star, too, which is
nearest to Earth. A is an astronomical object
consisting of a luminous spheroid of plasma
held together by its own gravity. Many other
stars are visible to the naked eye from Earth
during the night, appearing as a multitude
of fixed luminous points in the sky due to
their immense distance from Earth.
