another planet ppt

1. By:

2. • Revolve- The spinning around the sun.
• Rotate- Spinning around itself, not around another thing.
• Orbit- Going around an object.
• 8 planets found (excluding dwarf planets.)

3. Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars

4. • Mercury has a thin atmosphere which
consists of helium and sodium.
• It has no substantial atmosphere
• Three things that shape Mercury are
Impact Cratering, Volcanism, and Tectonic
activity.

5. • The reflection is the brightest planet viewed from earth,
so it is called the Evening Star.
• The atmosphere consists of Carbon dioxide and Sulfuric
acid.
• Venus’s rotation is called retrograde rotation because is
rotates clockwise, different from other planets.
• 1 full orbit around the sun will be 225 days, but one
rotation would take 243 days.
• Why would the sun rise on the west and set at east? It is
because Venus spins clockwise, not counter- clockwise.
• Venus is considered hot because it has constant volcano
eruptions.

6. • Elements that make up our atmosphere are oxygen,
nitrogen, argon, and water vapor.
• The atmosphere protects us from sun’s radiation and
meteors.
• The rotation of Earth causes days and nights. The tilt
creates seasons, so if there were too little tilt or no tilt,
the season would be the same.
• The rapid spin of the Earth along with the liquid, hot
metallic core causes the magnetic field.
• The satellite of Earth, which only has one, is the moon.

7. • Mars has sign of life because if it had ice, then there
would be a supply of water.
• The element of the atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide.
• Mars is covered with iron-laden clay, so Mars would
seem reddish.
• The tallest mountain in the solar system is Olympus Mon,
it stretches 600 km wide and 26 km tall!
• The two satellites are Phobos and Deimos.

9. • The rotation causes the poles to flatten and the equator
to bulge.
• Jupiter’s atmosphere consists of hydrogen, helium, sulfur,
and nitrogen.
• The most crazy storms is the Great Red Spot, a
hurricane-like storm that has been seen in Jupiter's
southern hemisphere since Jupiter was first discovered.
• 50 have been given names while 13 more were found
but not given names. (satellites)
• One of the satellites called Io is volcanically active,
having a very high temperature.

10. • The atmosphere consists of hydrogen and helium.
• Astronomers believe the rings developed from particles
that resulted from the break-up of naturally occurring
satellites.
• The things contained in the rings are ice and dust.
• Saturn could float in water because the density is very
low.
• Seasons would last long because 1 revolution would
take 29.46 years.

11. • Uranus’s rotation is rotating on its side
when viewed on Earth!
• The atmosphere contains hydrogen,
methane helium.
• Uranus has 27 known satellites.

12. • The atmosphere consists of ammonia, helium,
and methane.
• There are 13 known satellites.
• The biggest satellite of Neptune, Triton, was
theorized that it wasn’t the satellite of Neptune,
but was pulled toward Neptune by its strong
gravitational pull.

13. Pluto!
Ceres!
Eris!

14. • The name of the 3 moons of Pluto is Nix,
Charon, Hydra.
• Using a spectroscope, scientists have
seen methane and water vapor on Charon.
• Charon appears to be more blue in color
than Pluto.

15. • It takes 4.6 Earth Years for 1 revolution.
• It was considered an asteroid because it
was in the asteroid belt.
• Its surface is probably covered with a
mixture of water ice, carbonates, and clays.

16. • It was originally named Xena.
• It takes 557 Earth years for 1 revolution.
• The name of Eris’s moon is Dysnomia.
• It didn’t have the rights to be a planet.

EVERYTHING ELSE THAT HAS HELPED
ME. YAY!
