Our journey begins at the center of our solar system-THE SUN Let’s blast off ...and explore 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 ,2, 1, LIFTOFF!! Formed 5 billion years ago Makes up 99.8% of our solar system Made of helium and hydrogen Rocky Inner Planets Mercury Venus Earth Mars a small, rocky planet closest to the sun covered with hundreds of thousands of craters small, rocky planet covered with thick, yellow clouds made of sulfuric acid Venus has no water Venus has no moons small, rocky planet the Earth has one moon the Earth has oceans the Earth is unique from other planets because it supports life the red planet it is cold and lifeless very strong winds and vast dust storms Gaseous Outer Planets Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune the largest planet the “gas giant” the “great red spot” you could fit 1,000 Earths inside it! Giant gas planet beautiful rings made of water, ice and rocky particles Saturn has 18 moons (the most) giant gas planet made up of mostly rock and ices. tilted on its side Uranus has 15 moons giant gas planet made up of ices and rock Neptune’s orbit crosses Pluto’s orbit Neptune has what’s known as “the great dark spot” What About… One of many Dwarf Planets (such as Eris & Ceres) Orbits outside our Solar System The Solar System Remembering the order of the planets is easy...
