2. Lesson 48 C2-A: The Sun “the nearest STAR”

3. Let us study the Sun What can you say about our Sun? Yes – it is the brightest, hottest, biggest object beyond the Earth’s atmosphere. Wow – its really awesome. God is so powerful!!! Bright Powerful Wow!!! BIG Hot

4. Sun’s Temperature Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. The temperature on the surface of the sun is 6000 degrees Celsius. Not all of the sun’s radiation reaches the Earth. God designed something to repel this radiation. SUN is really HOT

5. Sun Made up of very hot flaming gasses. This hot gasses emit heat and light energy. This energy is known as solar radiation. This heat and light reach our planet “the earth”.

16. Let us study our solar system Solar system is made up of the sun and all the bodies that move around it. Planets are bodies smaller than the sun. There are 9 planets Nearest to the sun: Mercury Farthest planet: Neptune (Pluto is not a true planet) Biggest planet: Jupiter Planets categorized into two: 1)Terrestrial: made up of iron and rocks 2)Gaseous : made up of gasses

17. C2-B Assignment: Research at the library/internet regarding each planets moon and its corresponding names.

18. Lesson 48 C2-C: Asteroids, Meteoroids and Comets

19. Asteroids Also called planetoids because they look like planets. Some are made up of rocks and metals. Most of them can be found in the asteroid belt found between Mars and Jupiter

20. Meteoroids When asteroids collide its not only atmospheric dust that is formed but also small chunks of rocks or iron and leave the asteroid belt Some are of this meteoroids enters Earths atmosphere. When this happen they are called meteors. When it landed the Earth it is called meteorite.

21. Comets  Bodies that move around the sun  Also called dirty snowball because it consists of frozen gases, ice and dust.

22.
