Our Solar System
Journal
• Can you name the 8 planets in our Solar
System? This includes Earth…
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune
Do you know any ways to remember
all 8?
• My Very Excellent Mother Just
Sold Us Nuggets!
Galaxies
• Our sun is 1 of trillions of stars in the universe. Stars are
found in groups held together by gravity.
• A huge group of stars is called a galaxy.
• Our entire universe is made up of thousands of galaxies.
• The images below show you how small we are compared to
the entire universe.
UNIVERSE GALAXY SOLAR SYSTEM
The entire universe is made
of thousands of galaxies
A huge group of stars held
together by gravity.
A system of planets & stars that
are found throughout galaxies
The Milky Way
• Our Solar System is part of the “Milky Way” galaxy.
The Inner Planets
(Terrestrial Planets)
Spinning Planets
• Period of Rotation: amount of time
that an object takes to rotate once. (1
Day)
• Period of Revolution: time it takes
an object to revolve around the sun
once. (1 year)
Mercury
• On Mercury you weigh only
38% of what you weigh on
Earth.
• Fastest orbiting planet
• Planet nearest to the sun
• One side of the planet can be 800
degrees Fahrenheit when the
other can be -280 degree
Fahrenheit at the same time.
Venus
• On Venus you weigh only 91% of what you
weigh on Earth.
• Venus has 90 times the pressure of Earth
• Venus has volcanoes like Earth
• Rotates in the opposite direction of Earth.
• One time there were oceans before they
boiled away.
Earth
• 23 hours and 56 min=1 Earth day (rotation)
• 365 days =1 Earth year (revolution)
• Earth is warm enough to keep most of its
water from freezing and cold enough to
keep it’s water from boiling
• Temperature is between –13 degrees
Celsius and 37 degrees Celsius
Mars
• Air Pressure on Mars is the same as 30 km
above the Earth’s surface
• Mars is in the form of ice.
• Evidence that water was there at one time
• Volcanic history like Earth.
• It has the tallest mount of the planets
(Olympus Mons) 3x’s size of Mt. Everest.
Outer Planets
(Gas Planets or Jovial Planets)
Jupiter
• Largest planet in the Solar System
• Has a Great Red Spot from a storm system
that is more than 400 years old (It is larger
than Earth!)
• 9 hours and 54 min=1 Jupiter day (shortest
day)
• Pressure is so great it would crush a
spaceship.
Saturn
• 2nd Largest planet in the Solar System
• 95 times more massive than earth.
• Saturn has the largest rings of any
planet, the rings are made of icy
particles.
• Most moons of any planet.
Uranus
• Discovered in 1781
• Uranus appears blue-green in color
• It’s axis of rotation is tilted 90 degrees
• Moons are named after Shakespearean
plays and formed from other broken
moons.
Neptune
• Discovered in 1846
• Neptune has visual belts of clouds
• Interior releases thermal energy to its
outer layers.
• Use to be the 8th planet after Pluto
until 1999.
What Keeps Our Planets & Other
Objects In Space In Orbit??
GRAVITY & INERTIA
GRAVITY & INERTIA
• Gravity – A force that pulls all objects
toward each other.
• Inertia – The tendency of an object to stay
either at rest or in motion along a straight path
So how does these 2 forces
keep everything in orbit?
**Example: The picture
to the right shows how
inertia & gravity work
together to keep the
moon orbiting the Earth.
Actual Orbit
GRAVITY & INERTIA
If inertia was
stronger than
gravity then
objects would
stay on their
straight path &
fly off into space.
Actual Orbit
If gravity was
stronger than
inertia then
objects would
crash
Inertia & gravity
work together to keep
the moon orbiting the
Earth. And they work
together to keep
planets orbiting the
sun
COMETS
ASTEROIDS
METEOROIDS
Other Space Objects
What is a comet?
• A comet is a small
body made out of
dust, rock, gas & ice.
• They are kind of like
a dirty snowball
• Comets come from
faraway regions of
our solar system
beyond the planets
Comets are made up of
different parts.
 The nucleus
 The coma
 The ion tail
 The dust tail
What is an asteroid?
• Asteroids are
large pieces of
space rock with
irregular shapes.
• They are also
known as
planetoids or
minor planets
that revolves
around our sun
• Most asteroids orbit the Sun in the asteroid
belt located between Mars and Jupiter. A
few asteroids approach the Sun more
closely.
• Asteroids can collide with object such as
Earth’s moon, creating huge craters on the
surface.
3 to 6
• Meteoroids are pieces
of rock or dust that
are smaller than
asteroids.
• Meteoroids are tiny
particles left by an
asteroid or a comet &
most meteoroids are
smaller than the size
of a pebble.
METEOROIDS
METEORS &
METEORITES
• When small meteoroids enters Earth’s
atmosphere, they usually burn up &
make a fiery trail as it falls, it is then
called a meteor or a “shooting star”
• Meteors that land on Earth are called meteorites.
