Earth in the Solar System (Earth Sciences) 1. The structure and composition of the universe can be learned from studying stars and galaxies and their evolution. As a basis for understanding this concept: a. Students know galaxies are clusters of billions of stars and may have different shapes. b. Students know that the Sun is one of many stars in the Milky Way galaxy and that stars may differ in size, temperature, and color.
c. Students know how to use astronomical units and light years as measures of distances between the Sun, stars, and Earth. d. Students know that stars are the source of light for all bright objects in outer space and that the Moon and planets shine by reflected sunlight, not by their own light. e. Students know the appearance, general composition, relative position and size, and motion of objects in the solar system, including planets, planetary satellites, comets, and asteroids.

Uranus (your-an-us) -Tipped on its side -Revolution- about 84 years -One pole is in darkness for half of a Uranus year -Thin rings -Rotation- about 17 hours -Made of hydrogen and methane gas -27 moons Video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hIwD17Crko
Neptune - Atmosphere is similar to Uranus -Gives off heat which creates winds -Warm gas rises and cool gas sinks which sets up the wind patterns -Narrow rings -Rotation- about 16 hours -Revolution- about 164 years 13 moons
Dwarf planets Pluto -Too small and the orbital path is different from the other planets -Revolution-248 years -Very cold Video link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqX2YdnwtRc
