The Solar System
TEKS 6.11A describe the physical properties, locations, and movements of the
Sun, planets, Galilean moons, meteors, asteroids, and comets
•Our planet resides within
the Milky Way Galaxy. The
Milky Way is a collection of
some 200 billion stars.
One of the many stars in
the Milky Way is our Sun.
Captured by the Sun’s
gravity are the Earth, other
planets and smaller bodies.
•Within the Solar System are other
small systems. Each one of the
systems interacts with others to
form our entire Solar System.
The Earth is part of the
planetary system, which is
part of the Solar System.
As you can see from the
diagram, our universe
consists of systems within
systems.

Motion in our Solar System
What is rotation?
earth
rotation
A rotation is where the planet
spins on its axis.

ions/es0404/es0404page01.cfm?chapter_no=visualization
On earth, one rotation is equal to
about 24 hours. Some planets spin
faster than Earth, so a day would be
much shorter.
What is revolution?

Revolution
means that
the planet
moves in an
orbit around a
star.
Earth makes one
revolution around the
Sun every 365 days
which equals one year!
A period of revolution is equal
to one year on that planet.
