Our Trip To The Solar System By Tyler Hobbie, Maddie Carton, and Cole Stevens
3
The Solar System The Solar System is located in the milky way galaxy. A Solar System is a huge place with planets, comets, stars, asteroids, and dwarf planets orbiting the Sun..
4
The Planets The planets orbit the sun because of the suns gravity and force to keep everything in place. The size of the planets largest to smallest Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars, Mercury, and Pluto. Planets are huge ball shaped objects in space and are made of ice, rock, metal, gases, or a combination. There eight planets because Pluto is not a planet. The planets in order from the sun is Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
5
Sun 1 million Earth’s could fit into the sun The sun provides the planets with heat and light. A sun is a star and is the biggest object in our Solar System. It is a big ball of hot gas and is the closest star to Earth.
6
Our Planet Our planet Saturn has 34 moons named but it originally has 60 moons A Saturn year is 10,832 earth days! A day on Saturn is 10 hours and 45 minutes on earth. Saturn is a ball of gas surrounded by swirling clouds and many moons.
7
Moon The moon orbits the planet because the Sun’s and planet’s gravity pull. A moon is a large rock that orbits a planet A huge meteor crash in to the earth it blasted a molten piece of our planet into space.
8
Comets A comet is a piece of ice and dust left over from the formation of the solar system. An comets takes the path around Neptune and Plutos orbit. We will be able to see an asteroid In 2063 every 76 years. Halley's comet is the name of one of the major comets.
9
Asteroids Most Asteroids are found in the Asteroid Belt. Asteroids are important to know about because both orbit the sun with the planets and asteroids could hit the planets. Asteroids are pieces of rock that orbit the sun. The asteroids orbit the sun because of the Asteroid Belt beween Mars and Jupiter.
10
Dwarf Planets Dwarf Planets are located in the Kuiper Belt. There are three dwarf planets, Pluto, Eris, and Ceres. A dwarf planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun in another planet’s path. It's big enough that its gravity has pulled it into a round shape, but has not cleared its path of other objects.
