taketoprotect them?
The Inner Solar System
The inner solar system is the name of the terrestrial planets and asteroid belt. Terrestrial is just a fancy
way ofsaying rocky. Like the Earth, terrestrial planets have a core of iron
and rock. At the center of the solar system isthe Sun.The Sun is a big ball
of hydrogen powered by nuclear reactions. Massive explosions are going
on all of the time inside the Sun. It’s what makes the light every day and
keeps our planet warm. Light zips from the Sun to us in about eight
minutes. The Sun is the most massive thing in our solar system. It is so
big you could fit about a million Earths inside of it! Closest to the Sun is
the planet Mercury. You could squeeze about eighteen Mercury’s inside
of Earth. It is made of mostly rock, but it has a huge iron core and it
generates a big magnetic field. Speedy little Mercury sails around the sun in only eighty-eight days.
Mercury was the messenger of the gods in Roman mythology, known for his speed. Second in line
comes Venus, which is sometimes called Earth's twin. It's about the same size as Earth, but that’s where
the similarities end. Venus is always covered in thick clouds full of sulfuric acid. They whip around the
planet at more than two hundred twenty mph. Violent winds shoot sand made of silicate around
Venus’s very dry, arid surface. The temperature averages nine hundred
degrees, and the pressure’s ninety times that on Earth. It takes two
hundred and twenty four days to orbit the sun. Like Mercury, Venus
was also named after a Roman Goddess, the Goddess of love. You
know what planet is next. You live on it! Yup, the Earth is number
three. We have a rocky iron core at the center of our planet. We have
liquid water, and our air is made of mostly nitrogen and oxygen. It takes
three hundred and sixty-five days for us to circle the sun. We only have
one moon. Next to us in is Mars. Mars also has a core of rock and iron.
It is a little more than half the size of Earth. The most distinct feature
about Mars is its red color. Dust rich in iron oxide covers the planet. It’s
sort of like the planet is rusting. White caps at the poles are water, forever frozen because of the colder
temperatures further from the Sun. The only place the temperature rises above freezing is at the
equator, or the middle of the planet. Mars has two moons, Deimos and Phoebe but they are much
smaller than our own moon. It takes nearly twice as long for Mars to circle the sun at almost 684 days.
The last part of the inner solar system is called the Asteroid Belt. It’s the line between the inner rocky
planets and the outer gaseous planets. Unlike the rest of the Inner Solar System, the Asteroid Belt isn’t
a planet at all. It is a bunch of large rocky chunks, mostly meteoroids. There's also a dwarf planet
named Ceres in the asteroid belt. The rest aren’t very large. The Earth is the only planet that we know
................ 5|The DPSG Int. / SUMMER H.H.W/W.S.:2014-15
of with life on it, but universe is a big place. Much of our solar system is still a mystery, there is still
plenty to explore.

(ii) Which statement about the inner planets' orbits is true?
a. Venus orbits the sun more quickly than Mercury.
b. Mercury orbits the sun more slowly than Mars.
c. Earth orbits the sun more quickly than Venus.
d. Mars orbits the sun more slowly than Earth.
