1. Our Solar System
By Jiwon Park

2. This is Why I am Interested
in Planets
The reason I picked planets for my research is
because I always have been interested in it .
And I like to look at them and study about
them.

3. This is What I Learned
Through This Process
To create my passion project I had to write all
the facts about planets. The most challenging
thing I did was that I had to write facts about
all the planets in our Solar System. So I had to
learn and study about them.

4. This is What This is Going
to Help me Do
When I grow up I want to be a scientist and a
astronaut so this is going to help me learn
what astronauts and scientists do.

5. This is the Color and the Names of
Planets
Mercury-gray
Venus-orange and black
Earth-white, brown and green
Mars-red, white and black
Jupiter-yellow and orange
Saturn-orange and black
Uranus-sky blue
Neptune-dark blue

6. This is How and Why People Study
Planets
People study about the Solar System and space.
They use radio telescopes and space probes to learn
about space and planets.
The astronomers have to get trained to understand
the information that are gathered by the telescopes.
Astronauts make space shuttles, rockets and more.
Astronauts use the space probes to collect
information about space and planets.
Through these, they learn how the eight planets
move and spin.

7. This is the Planets diameter
( kilometers)
Mercury-4,878 (1/3 times)
Venus-12,102 (1 times)
Earth-12,756
Mars-6,794 (1/2 times)
Jupiter-142,984 (11.2 times)
Saturn-120,536 (9.44 times)
Uranus-51,118 (4 times)
Neptune-49,528 (3.9 times)
