Presentation transcript:

Uranus  Is the seventh planet from the Sun.  It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth- largest planetary mass in the Solar System.  Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both are of different chemical composition to the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.  Thus, astronomers sometimes place them in a separate category called "ice giants".  Uranus's atmosphere, although similar to Jupiter's and Saturn's in its primary composition of hydrogen and helium, contains more "ices", such as water, ammonia, and methane, along with traces of hydrocarbons.

Saturn  Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter.  Named after the Roman god of agriculture, its astronomical symbol ♄.  Saturn is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. While only one-eighth the average density of Earth, with its larger volume Saturn is just over 95 times more massive.  Saturn's interior is probably composed of a core of iron, nickel and rock (silicon and oxygen compounds), surrounded by a deep layer of metallic hydrogen, an intermediate layer of liquid hydrogen and liquid helium and an outer gaseous layer.

Neptune  Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System.  It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass.  Among the gaseous planets in the Solar System, Neptune is the most dense.  Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus, which is 15 times the mass of Earth but not as dense.  Named after the Roman god of the sea, its astronomical symbol is ♆.

Mercury  Mercury is the smallest and closest to the Sun of the eight planets in the Solar Systém, with an orbital period of about 88 Earth days.  Seen from Earth, it appears to move around its orbit in about 116 days, which is much faster than any other planet.  It has no known natural satellites.  The planet is named after the Roman deity Mercury, the messenger to the gods.  Mercury's surface is heavily cratered and similar in appearance to the Moon, indicating that it has been geologically inactive for billions of years.

Venus  Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every Earth days.  It has no natural satellite. It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.  After the Moon, it is the brightest natural object in the night sky, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6, bright enough to cast shadows.  Because Venus is an inferior planet from Earth, it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°.  Venus is a terrestrial planet and is sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" because of their similar size, gravity, and bulk composition

Earth  Earth, also known as the world,[Terra,or Gaia,is the third planet from the Sun, the densest planet in the Solar System, the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets, and the only celestial body known to accommodate life.  It is home to about 8.74 million species.  There are over 7.2 billion humans who depend upon its biosphere and minerals.  The Earth's human population is divided among about two hundred independent states that interact through diplomacy, conflict, travel, trade, and media.  According to evidence from sources such as radiometric dating, Earth was formed around four and a half billion years ago.

Mars  Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury.  Named after the Roman god of war, it is often described as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.  Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth.  The rotationas period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons.  Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the second highest known mountain within the Solar System (the tallest on a planet), and ofValles Marineris. one of the largest canyons.

Jupiter  Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in the Solar System.  It is a gas giant with mass one-thousandth of that of the Sun but is two and a half times the mass of all the other planets in the Solar System combined.  Jupiter is classified as a gas giant along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian or outer planets.  The planet was known by astronomers of ancient times.  TheRomans named the planet after the Roman god Jupiter.
