STRUCTURE OF THE
SOLAR SYSTEM
By: Brianna F. Rodriguez
What is the Solar System?
1) An incredible place
2) The centerpiece of the Solar System is the sun
3) Not only is it essential for life on Earth
4) It provides the magnetic field
5) There are 8 planets travelling around the Sun
6) In order from nearest to the Sun
7) M, V, E, M, J, S, U, N and P
Information:
1) Ecliptic Plane
2) The System can be easily visualised having a dish
shape
3) The reason for this is, back billions of years when the
Solar System was formed
4) Before the planets, there was just a sun and a cloud of
dust
5) The dust cloud clumped together
6) They all ended up on the same plane as each other
ECLIPTIC PLANE
Information:
1) Our Sun generates an immense magnetic field
2) This magnetic field is perfectly balanced
3) It’s able to keep planets as large as Jupiter in a constant orbit
4) The four planets closest to the Sun are commonly referred to as the Inner Planets. They are Mercury,
Earth, Venus and Mars
5) They are notable for being formed mainly of rocks
6) Three of the planets have atmospheres except Mercury
7) The atmospheres are fairly hazardous to life
1) Earth is the only planet in the Solar System known to contain
life
2) Scientists are exploring the possibilities of life on other
planets.
3) Asteroid belt
4) It’s formed of millions of rocks
5) Varying from microscopic sizes all the way up to rocks
6) The belt was formed from pieces left
1) Heliosphere
2) A giant bubble
3) Protects the entire system
4) Milky Way galaxy
5) 2,237,000 miles an hour
