OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
Introduction
Our solar system contains one star, nine
planets, 61 moons, thousands of asteroids,
billons of meteoroids and comets. In our solar
system there is something called a asteroid
belt. The asteroid belt separates the inner
planets from the outter planets. The inner
planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and mars.
Also the outter planets are Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. There is a lot to
know about our universe.
The sun
It would require about 333,000 Earths to equal
the sun’s mass. But more than a million
Earths could fit inside it. The surface of the
sun is about 9900 degrees Fahrenheit. Also
the core of the sun is about 27million degrees
Fahrenheit.
WARNING do not look at the sun directly
thought a telescope or binoculars. If you do it
will damage your eyes permanently.
Mercury
Because mercury orbits so close to the sun,
it’s surface can reach 801 degrees
Fahrenheit. But without much of an
atmosphere to trap the heat, nighttime
temperatures on mercury can go up to 279
below 0. It take 59 earth day for mercury to
complete 1 rotation. Also the average
distance from the sun is 57,900,000 km.
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the sun and the
closest planet to Earth. It is named after The
Roman Goddess of love and beauty, but it's
extremely hot and deadly atmosphere makes it
impossible for any human or astronaut to
explore it's surface. The diameter of Venus is
about 7,520 miles which is about 400 miles
smaller than that of Earth. It takes 243 days for
Venus to make a full rotation. And it takes 224
days for Venus to orbit around the sun.
Earth
Earth is the planet we know the best.
Earth has five layers in its
atmosphere, the first layer is called
Troposphere. The second layer is the
stratosphere. The third layer is the
mesosphere. The fourth layer is called
the thermosphere. The last layer is
called the exosphere. The earth is 197
million square miles, about 70 percent
of the Earth's surface is covered with
water.
more earth facts
The temperature at the Earth's core is
estimated to be between 5000 and 7000
degrees ferinhiat.
Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun. And also
is the 5th largest planet in our solar system. It
takes light 8 min. 20 sec to travel from the
sun to the Earth.
Mars
 Mars has the largest canyon in the solar
system. It would reach from Los Angeles to
Chicago if it was on Earth! Mars has a very
thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but
dust storms can cover the whole planet for
months at a time. About every two years the
Earth and Mars come close together. A year
on mars 687 earth days and the length of a
day is 24 hrs, 37 min. the average distance
from the sun is 227,900,000 km away
the asteroid
belt
 The asteroid belt lies
between Mars and Jupiter. It
contains lumps of rock much
smaller than planets. These
lumps are called asteroids or
minor planets. They are not
visible from Earth with the
naked eye, but many may be
seen through binoculars or
small telescopes.

Jupiter
Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the sun
and rotates in about 10 hours. Unlike the
rocky planets, Jupiter is a ball of dense
hydrogen, helium, water, nitrogen and other
gases over a tiny rocky core. Believe it or not
Jupiter has rings. For Jupiter the length of a
day is 9hrs, 55 min. Also the length of a year
on Jupiter is 11.86 Earth years. The average
orbit speed is 13 km per sec. The average
distance form the sun is 778,300,00 km.
Saturn
Saturn is the second largest planet. Only Jupiter
is larger. Saturn has seven thin, flat rings around
it. Saturn's diameter at its equator is 74,600
miles which is almost ten times that of Earth.
The planet can be seen from Earth but its rings
cannot. Saturn's rings are made up of billions of
pieces of rocks and dust. The atmosphere of
Saturn comprises mostly of Hydrogen and
Helium. The length of a day is 10 hrs, 39 min. the
length of a year is 29.46 earth days. The average
distance from the sun is 1,429,000,000, km
Uranus
The icy planet Uranus is a smaller version of
Jupiter and not the small rocky bodies like
Earth. Uranus takes 84 years to orbit the sun.
It rotates on its side and so half the time one
pole is toward the sun and then the other
making each of the four seasons last about 20
years. The length of a day is 17.3 hrs
Neptune
 Blue Neptune is one of the solar system's gas
giants. Unlike Earth, gas giants are mostly
hydrogen, helium, and methane gases. The
methane gas on Neptune gives the planet its
blue color .
Length of a year: 165 Earth years
Average orbit speed: 5.4 km per sec
Average distance from the sun: 4,504,000,000
km
Pluto
 Pluto is a small rocky object that lies at the very
edge of the solar system. The planet is so far out
it takes light from the sun about 5 and one half
hours to reach Pluto in contrast to the 8 minutes
it takes to reach Earth. Pluto is so cold that
nitrogen and oxygen, which we breathe so easily
on Earth, become frozen solid.
Length of year: 248 Earth year
Length of day: 6 Earth days, 9 hrs, 18 min
Average distance from the sun: 5,900,000,000 km
conclusion
 There are more planets in the universe then
we can even image. There are some planets
out there with life that we do not even no
about. OK, think of it like this man have not
set foot on any other planet except the moon.
Now how in the world do you think man
would create a ship to go to other planets
even out of our solar system.
