2. WHAT IS SOLAR SYSTEM?
- The Solar System is the
gravitationally bound system
of the Sun and the objects
that orbit it.

3. WHAT IS BEING STUDIED?
- Understanding the planets and small bodies that
inhabit our solar system help scientists answer
questions about its formation, how it reached its
current diverse state, how life evolved on Earth and
possibly elsewhere in the solar system, and what
characteristics of the solar system lead to the origins
of life.

4. EXAMPLES OF PLANETS
SUN MERCURY VENUS
- The Sun is the star at
the center of the Solar
System. It is a massive,
hot ball of plasma,
inflated and heated by
nuclear fusion reactions
at its core.
- Mercury is the first planet
from the Sun and the
smallest in the Solar System.
It is a terrestrial planet with a
heavily cratered surface due
to overlapping impact
events..
- Venus is the second planet
from the Sun. It is a rocky
planet with the densest
atmosphere of all the rocky
bodies in the Solar System,
and the only one with a mass
and size that is close to that of
its orbital neighbour Earth.

5. EXAMPLES OF PLANETS
EARTH MARS JUPITER
- Earth is a terrestrial or inner planet
consisting of a thin outer crust, an
intermediate mantle, and a dense inner
core. It has an atmosphere composed
primarily of nitrogen and oxygen and is
the only planet on which water in liquid
form exists, covering more than 70
percent of its surface.
- Mars is the fourth planet and the
furthest terrestrial planet from the
Sun. The reddish color of its surface is
due to finely grained iron(III) oxide dust
in the soil, giving it the nickname "the
Red Planet". Mars's radius is second
smallest among the planets in the
Solar System at 3,389.5km.
- Jupiter is the fifth planet from the
Sun and the largest in the Solar
System. It is a gas giant with a mass
more than two and a half times that
of all the other planets in the Solar
System combined, and slightly less
than one one-thousandth the mass
of the Sun.

6. EXAMPLES OF PLANETS
URANUS NEPTUNE
SATURN
- Saturn is the sixth planet from
the Sun and the second-largest
in the Solar System, after
Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an
average radius of about nine-
and-a-half times that of Earth. It
has only one-eighth the average
density of Earth, but is over 95
times more massive.
- Uranus is the seventh planet
from the Sun and is a gaseous
cyan ice giant. Most of the
planet is made of water,
ammonia, and methane in a
supercritical phase of matter,
which in astronomy is called
'ice' or volatiles.
- Neptune is the eighth planet
from the Sun and the farthest
IAU-recognized planet in the
Solar System. It is the fourth-
largest planet in the Solar
System by diameter, the third-
most-massive planet, and the
densest giant planet.

7. WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO LEARN ABOUT IT?
- The Solar System provides the only known
example of a habitable planet, the only star we
can observe close-up, and the only worlds we
can visit with space probes. Solar System
research is essential for understanding the
origin and evolution of planets, along with the
conditions necessary for life.
