The solar system is made up of the Sun, the planets that orbit the Sun, their satellites, dwarf planets and many, many small objects, like asteroids and comets. All of these objects move and we can see these movements. We notice the Sun rises in the eastern sky in the morning and sets in the western sky in the evening. We observe different stars in the sky at different times of the year.

Our Solar System are composed of 1 star (Sun), 8 major planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), 5 dwarf planets (Ceres, Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, Eris), 566,000 asteroids and 3,100 comets. The age of our Solar System is about 4.6 billion years.

Earth as a system is composed of numerous interacting parts or subsystem. Earth system science attempts to integrate the knowledge from traditional sciences, geology, atmospheric science, chemistry, biology and so on. Earth is just a small part of larger system known as the solar system.
Earth system has nearly endless array of subsystems in which matter is recycled over and over again.
This is a presentation that I completed for EDU 290 in the Fall 2009. The intent of the assignment was to create a lesson that could be used by a student that missed the classroom instruction due to illness
The Solar System is composed of the Sun and the celestial objects which are gravitationally bound to it: planets, moons, dwarf planets and their four known moons, asteroids, meteoroids, comets, and interplanetary dust.

Grade 6. chapter 5. realms of the earth..
The Earth divided into 4 realms which are interconnected.
The names of the 4 spheres have been derived from Greek words for stone (litho), air (atmo), water (hydro), and life (bio)
The layer of the gas that surrounds the Earth is called atmosphere.
The atmosphere protects Earth from absorbing the harmful ultraviolet rays of the Sun.
It also acts as a blanket around the Earth.
Earth system refers to Earth’s interacting physical, chemical, and biological processes.
The system consists of the land, oceans, atmosphere and poles.
It includes the planet’s natural cycles – the carbon, water, nitrogen, phosphorus, Sulphur and other cycles – and deep Earth processes.
Life too is an integral part of the Earth system

The Atmosphere Environment
This chapter discusses:
The significance of the Atmosphere
The composition of the Atmosphere
The layers of the atmosphere
The Atmospheric Circulation
Importance
Atmosphere – a thin layer of air that forms a protective covering around Earth.
It keeps Earth’s temperature in a range that can support life.
It also care for life-forms from some of the Sun’s harmful rays.
The Composition of Atmosphere
The Atmosphere ** layer of gas that surrounds Earth more commonly known as “air”.
Atmosphere. How do you know its there
Is this “air” that surrounds us considered matter? Does it weigh anything? How do you know?
Think about it and decide on an answer.
Talk in groups with the person who sits by you
Be ready to tell the class what you decided and why.
Weight of the atmosphere
Gases are in the atmosphere.
They are things we learned about in the periodic table: Nitrogen, Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide, Hydrogen
It is matter! Sound can travel through it.
Even though you can’t see them, Atoms make up gases.
Are some atoms bigger than others?
Are their atomic weights all the same?
Helium vs. Carbon Dioxide
Do you think of helium as light and floating or heavy and falling?
Do you think about Carbon Dioxide as light and floating or heavy and falling….think about the gas released from dry ice… does it go up or down?

3. *The Earth is divided into
4 “Sub-systems” or
“Spheres” namely:
ATMOS(Gaseous)-
SPHERE.
HYDRO(Water)-
SPHERE
LITHOS(Rock)-SPHERE
BIOS(Life)-SPHERE
*They are interdependent
and function as a whole.
4. *The layer of gas
surrounding Earth’s
surface.
*This is the Earth’s
sphere that supports
life.
*This sphere regulates
the climate.
*It acts both as a
blanket and a filter.
5. Earth’s atmosphere is a
mixture of gases, mostly
nitrogen and oxygen, with
smaller amounts of Argon,
Carbon dioxide, and other
gases.
Contains most clouds and weather.
Contains ozone that absorbs much of the Sun’s
ultraviolet radiation.
The coldest part of the atmosphere. It can get
down to -90°C in the mesosphere
This is layer of atmosphere we see in images
outside Earth
9. It is composed of all the
water found on under and
over the surface of the
planet. (Including different
bodies of water.)
This sphere covers about
70% of the surface of the
Earth and is the home for
many plants and animals.
10. Most of Earth's water is salty
and in the oceans - about
97%.
Two-thirds of the remaining
3% is frozen in glaciers and
polar ice caps.
Only 1% of the hydrosphere is liquid
freshwater, and even most of this
exists as groundwater down in the
soil
11. It is composed of all of the living organisms on
the planet. This includes all of the people,
plants, animals, bacteria, fungi and single-
celled organisms found on Earth.
12.
13. 70% of the Earth’s
surface is covered in
water
Earth is mostly iron,
oxygen and silicon
Earth doesn’t take 24
hours to rotate on its
axis
The Earth's core is
about as hot as the
sun.
The Earth was once
believed to be the
center of the universe.
Earth has relatively few
visible impact craters
compared with other solid
bodies in our solar system
