The document provides information about the solar system. It begins by stating the objectives are to infer that the sun is the center of the solar system, name the planets and other heavenly bodies, describe the sun, and thank God for the sun. It then provides information about the formation of the sun and solar system from a giant cloud of gas and dust approximately 4.6 billion years ago. Key details are provided about the sun being at the center and a giant ball of hot glowing gas that gives off light and heat. The major planets and other objects in the solar system like asteroids, meteoroids, and comets are also named.

2. Objective
 Infer that the sun
is the center of the
solar system.

3. Objective
 Name the planets and
other heavenly bodies
in the solar system.

4. Objective
Describe
the sun.

5. Objective
 Thank God for the
sun that gives us
energy.

6. Question
 What rises
in the morning and
sets in
the afternoon?

7. Group work

8. Question
 What do you know
about the sun? Where
it is in the solar
system? What it is
made of?

9. Reporting

10. Sun
Is the center of
the solar
system

11. I wondered why
there are objects
in space?
How did the sun
and other
member of the
solar system
begin?
How were they
formed?

12.  About 4.6
billion years ago, a giant
cloud of gas and dust
collapsed due to powerful
force called GRAVITY.

13.  One of the
region of
the collapsing cloud
formed a huge , spinning
ball.

14.  Because of the
tightly packed
gases, the
center of the
huge spinning
ball became so hot that
it started to glow.

15. This gave birth to
a very bright star
called SUN.

16. Read page 355

17. Sun Is a star
 A giant ball
of hot
glowing
gas

18. Sun
 Gases are so hot
that they burn and
give off light
 Heat and light
from the sun travel
from the sun in
space

19. Sun
•Its family is
called solar
system
•Includes the
nine planets

21.  There are two main classes
of planets in the solar system
–
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ (oussega) and
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _. (rrestetial)

22.  Gaseous planets
- have strong gravity
due to their great mass
- enable to hold gas particles like
hydrogen and helium
- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
and Neptune

23.  Terrestial planets
- it is also called as rock planet
- have weaker gravity so they do not
have the ability to hold hydrogen and
helium
-Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars

24. Sun
•Includes
the
moon

26. Earth
- is the only planet with one
moon
- Jupiter with four moons
- other planets like Mercury and
Venus have no moons at all
- planets with ring are Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune

27. Sun
•Includes
the asteroids,
meteors,
and
comets

28.  Aside from planets there are other
objects that move around the sun.
* They can be seen through a
TELESCOPE, an instrument that
allows a person to see distant
objects. Among these heavenly
objects are ASTEROIDS, which are
rocky objects orbiting the sun. They
have elliptical orbits that enable
them to revolve around the sun.
They can be found between Mars and
Jupiter, in a region called asteroid
belt

29. Meteoroidso pieces of rocks or metal-like objects moving
through the space
o Once they enter the Earth’s atmosphere they
become meteors or shooting stars
o They heat up and appear
to glow brightly when seen
from the ground.

30. Comets Make up the last group of heavenly bodies
 They are relatively small, icy bodies that move
around the sun
 When they are near the sun, some of the ice on
the comets turn into gases.
 The gases and dusts releases from the ice
develop into long , bright tails.

31. Sun
•Each member
of the solar
system follow
a certain path
or orbit
•Nearest star

32. Earth
-It is called the living planet
-is the only planet that
supports life
- its temperature and
atmosphere allow water
to exist as solid, liquid,
and gas
- it has enough oxygen and
water for all

33. Sun
 Provides the earth
with heat, light
and energy
 Gives life to
human
beings,plants, and
animals

34.  Identify the
nine
planets
and other
things
in the solar
system
