- 11. All About The Planets of the Solar System • By • Alexis • Ashley • Jeroson • Kim • Sierra
- 12. Where does the word planet comes from? • The word planet is Greek for “wanderer,” because the planets appear to wander around the sky, disconnected from the stars and each other.
- 13. The nine planets are Mercury Saturn Venus Uranus Earth Neptune Mars Pluto Jupiter
- 14. These are the inner planets Mercury Earth Venus Mars
- 15. These are the outer planets Jupiter Uranus Saturn Neptune Pluto
- 16. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the eight largest. • Mercury looks like a ball of gray Swiss cheese. • During the day Mercury is a whooping 800 degrees Fahrenheit, much hotter than the oven in your home. Mercury is so hot it will melt a tin pan.
- 17. Venus is the second largest planet from the sun and the fifth largest. • Venus is the hottest planet in our solar. • Astronauts can’t land on Venus because they would get burned up by the planets 900- degree temperature. • The surface of Venus has many craters which were made by meteorites and asteroids crashing into the planet.
- 18. Earth is the third planet from the sun and the fifth largest. • Earth is the only planet where humans can live a normal life. • Earth atmosphere contains oxygen for us to breathe, protects us from the sun’s heat and keeps our planet warm. • Earth is covered by so much water that it’s entire planet looks blue from outer space.
- 19. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and the fourth largest. • Mars is a dusty, orangish-red desert planet. • The temperature on Mars can be very, very cold, even on the warmest day.
- 20. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun and by far the largest planet. • Jupiter is so large that all of the other planets in the solar system could fit into it. • You couldn’t stand on Jupiter because there is nothing to stand on. It is made up mostly of gas and liquid. • Jupiter’s ferocious winds blow it’s thick red, orange, brown, and white clouds around, always changing the way the planet looks.
- 21. Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest. • Saturn is famous for the bright, flat rings that floats around its middle. • Saturn is a very large gas planet which spins very rapidly on its axis. • Saturn’s atmosphere has winds which can blow at over 1800 kilometers per hour
- 22. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun and the third largest. • Uranus is one of the smaller giant, gas planet in our solar system. • Uranus atmosphere is made up of hydrogen, helium and methane gas, which gives it its blue color. • Uranus is so far away that, even with a telescope, the icy planet looks like a tiny greenish-blue disk.
- 23. Neptune is the eight planet from the sun and the fourth largest. • Neptune and Uranus are both large, gas planets that look like big-blue green balls in the sky. • It is so cold on Neptune that you would need skin thicker than a polar bear to stay warm. • The planet has large dark, circle on it surface which are believed to be storms.
- 24. Pluto is usually the farthest planet from the sun and the smallest. • Pluto is colder than other planets because it is so far away from the sun. • Pluto is usually the farthest planet from the sun, but sometimes Neptune is because Pluto’s egg-shaped orbit takes it inside Neptune’s orbit for about 20 years out of every 250 years.
