Uranus
Uranus is a giant gas planet
 It has been visited 1 time
 Uranus has 15 moons and 10 of them are
small

Asteroids
Asteroids are known as minor planets
even thought people think asteroids aren’t
 The diameter is 1,000km to pebble size
 If 16 asteroids were combined it would
240km or greater
 It is believed the asteroids were made by
planet during a massive collision

Saturn
Saturn is the 6th planet form the sun
 Saturn is the second largest planet
 Saturn has the most visible rings
 Saturn has 30 named moons
 Because of Saturn’s rings it makes it the
most beautiful plant

Neptune
Neptune is the 8th planet from the sun
 Neptune was not founded by going into
space it was mathematically calculated
down into Earth
 If Neptune where hallow it could contain
60 Earths
 Neptune orbits the earth every 165 years

Pluto
It takes Pluto 90,465 days to orbit the sun
 It takes 6 days and 9 hours to rotate
 Pluto is the 9th planet away from the sun
 2% of Earth is Pluto and 1% of Earth’s
volume is Pluto

The Moons
There are 162 moons in our solar system
and they are still looking today
 Jupiter has the most moons
 The dwarf planet has its moon slightly
smaller then the plant
 Our is also called Luna

The Sun
The sun is a star, the only star we see in
the daytime
 The middle of the sun is 15,000,000C
 Its energy is produced by nuclear fusion
 It generates 386 billion megawatts of
energy

Mars





Mars’s amount of days to orbit the sun is 686.98
Earth days.
It’s rotation is a day and 37 minutes(24 hours
and 37 minutes).
It’s mass is 10% of Earth and it’s volume is 15%
of Earth.
It’s distance from the sun is 229 million km or
142 million miles
It’s max temperature is 36 celcious and it’s min
temperature is -123 celcious.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the 5th planet from the sun
 Jupiter has at least 63 moons
 The red spot has been raging there for
about 300 years
 On Jupiter you would weight more then
you would on Earth

Mercury
Mercury is the closet planet to the sun
 It is the second smallest plant in the solar
system
 Mercury is a rocky plant
 Its been visited 10 times
 The temperature is 90k to 700k
 There is no water on this plant
 It has no moons

Venus
Venus’s surface is very hot, 400 C.
 It is to hot for rain to form
 The space craft to visit was Matiner 2
 Venus has no moons
 It is a small rocky plant

Earth

It takes 365.3 days to orbit the sun and 23
hours and 56 minutes of rotation. Earth’s
mass is six sextillion!
