10. Our favorite Solar System

11. A solar system is a star and everything that orbits the star

12. Our sun is not the only star with planets: 146 planetary systems
Upsilon Andromeda- very similar to ours
3 planets
PSR B solar system with two stars
1 planet

13. 1 AU = the distance from the Earth to the Sun.
Solar systems are small in space terms so they are measured using astronomical units
1 AU = the distance from the Earth to the Sun

14. Examples of using AU

15. Everything in the solar system is much smaller than the sun

16. The first 4 planets
Terrestrial
planets

20. Outer planets
Sometimes
called

23. Asteroids are giant rocks orbiting the sun
They range in size from about the size of a classroom to
the largest which is
580 miles long

24. Asteroids
Most asteroids are in the
Asteroid belt between
Mars and Jupiter

25. Comets Comets are made of ice, rock and dust
Comets have very elliptical orbits around the sun

26. Comets
Comets have a tail when they are close to the sun because of the melting ice

27. Main points Solar systems are a star and what orbits around it
Solar systems are measured using A.U.
In our solar system we have:
the sun
gas planets
terrestrial planets
asteroids
comets
