Europa moon on January 8th 1610.
Earth’s moon: The distance from the moon to our planet is around
384403 kilometres (238857 miles).
Deimos (Mars): ). Most people think that Deimos and Phobos are
asteroids’ because their irregular shape and small size.
Phobos (Mars): Phobos moon was first discovered by A.Hall, which
has been discovered on 1877.
Iapetus (Saturn): The meaning of its name was the son of Uranus.
It is the third-largest moon in the planet Saturn.

Neptune is the eighth planet in our solar system.
It is the farthest planet from the sun.
They have 13 moons, and one of them is called Triton, which is the largest
of them all.
Neptune is named the God of sea in the Roman Mythology, and their
moons are all named after minor God of Sea from the Greek and Roman
mythology.
Neptune’s color is blue is not because their surface is the ocean, but they
are full of methane gas
The most inside part of Neptune is made of solid core of rock and
possibly ice. The second, icy layer consists of frozen water, ammonia, and
methane. The last layer is an atmosphere containing hydrogen, helium,
methane gases and other minor compositions
It was discovered by Urbain Le Verrier, John Couch Adams and Johann
Galle in the 23rd of September 1846.
Jupiter have a rough conditions such as the
temperature at the inner layer of the clouds,
temperatures can reach -145° C, while just above
the core, where the planetary pressure has
liquefied the hydrogen in the air, the
temperature could reach 9,726 Celsius.
 Jupiter was named after the Roman God Jupiter
which mean the Kings Of God in Latin.
 Jupiter have the mass of 318 times the size of
Earth and twice and a half of all planets in the
solar system combined.

The celestial object which revolves round the
earth; the satellite of the earth; a secondary
planet, whose light, borrowed from the sun, is
reflected to the earth, and serves to dispel the
darkness of night.
 Diameter: 3,476 km
 Size: (the picture)
 Mass: 7.349 x 1022 kg
 A lunar month is the time the moon takes to
pass through a complete cycle of its phases and
is measured from New Moon to New Moon.

Asteroids are small, airless rocky, dry and dusty worlds revolving around
the sun that are too small to be called planets, they also can be silicon
based rock, some metals like nickel and iron, and carbon.
Asteroid belts: Astronomers measure distances in our solar system in
units of the Earth-Sun distance, which is 150 million kilometers. They call
this an astronomical unit or AU, that lies between mars and Jupiter.
TEMPERATURE: The temperature of the asteroid belt varies. It can range
from something on the order of 200 K (−73 °C) near the inner edge (about
2.2 AU) down to 165 K (−108 °C) near the outer edge (about 3.2 AU.
The rotations of asteroids larger than 40 km in diameter have a
distribution close, that suggests that they are ally evolve crash left.
Either original bodies of the asteroid main belt or its largest, Small
asteroids show significant excesses of both slow and fast rotations, a
“barrier” against spins faster than 12 rotations per day, and some of them
are binary systems on inner-planet-crossing orbits with a characteristic
fast rotation of their primaries
Galaxy is the result of more than billions of star combining
themselves into shapes that is now known as galaxy. It is a
collection of stars, gas, and dust combine together because of
gravity.
 The name Milky Way galaxy came from the name milky, which
means the glowing band in the night sky.
 Andromeda is the largest galaxy. It contains about 30 smaller
galaxies. Although it is the largest galaxy, it may not be the
heaviest and darkest of all galaxy in the galaxy neighborhood.
 Sunflower galaxy is a spiral galaxy. It is also known as the Messier
63. It is about 25-37 million light years distant in the loyal
constellation. It has a bright yellowish core and sweeping blue
spiral arms and dotted with pink star. The Sunflower galaxy was
discovered by Pierre Mechain on June 14, 1779.

Earth is a small, rocky planet which supports a variety of
life! As far as we know, Earth is unique from all other
planets.
In astronomy mythology , Earth’s Greek name was Gaea.
The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial planets. A
terrestrial planet is a dense planet found in the inner Solar
System.
Our planet is an oasis of life in an otherwise desolate
universe.
The layers are:
Core: Innermost part of the earth
Mantle: 2nd layer of the earth
Crust: Outer layer of the earth

Diameter : 0.057 arcsecond
Mass : 1.2 solar mass
Temperature : 2,740 ± 190 K
Its distance from Earth is 178 ± 10 lihght years .
Eventually a star will run ot of hydrogen fuel and will start fusing with
helium and other gases and elements.
Medium-sized stars like our Sun will eventually die by shedding their
outer layers as a planetary nebula. The core will collapse into a white
dwarf, which will eventually cool into a black dwarf.
The oldest star discovered is HE 1523-0901, which is estimated 13.2
billion years old.
Some stars are 600,000 times brighter than our sun.
65% of all stars are actually doubled stars.
The closest star to earth is Proxma Centauri (except sun), is located 4.2
light years away.
The second closest star to Earth is Barnard star that is 6 light years away.
There are 250 billion stars in the milky way galaxy.

The Planet Mercury is the closest planet to our sun and is the smallest
planet in the solar system. It is named after a roman god.
Mercury is the first planet of our solar system and it is next to the sun.
Mercury characteristics it has 2 sides once that is very hot that facing to
the sun and one is very cold in facing opposites ways
Mercury, the innermost planet, is 0.4 A.U. from the Sun on the average. It
revolves about the Sun once every 88 days in an orbit that is the most
elliptical of any planet except Pluto.
Mercury (Hg) is an element and a natural part of our universe. It has been
identified on the sun and found in meteorites and moon rocks
Color of mercury: grey Mercury has practically no atmosphere, so we just
see the rocky surface.
Mercury: This was the name of the Roman god of trade, merchants, and
travelers, later equated with the Greek god Hermes. This is also the name
of the first planet in the solar system.

Mars name is after the Greek God of war Martius and Martialis.. Mars
were called the red planet because most of the rock in Mars in red so
that’s why Mars is called the red planet.
Mars has higher mountains, and deeper canyons than any other planet.
The largest canyon on Mars would stretch from New York City to Los
Angeles on the Earth. That makes the Grand Canyon look tiny. It also has
the Solar System's biggest volcano, Olympus Mons, which is nearly 3
times larger than Mount Everest. If you weighed 70 pounds (32 kg) on the
Earth, you would weigh about 27 pounds (12 kg) on Mars. The diameter in
Mars is 6.780 km(4,213 miles). That makes 53% diameter in earth. Mars is
228.000.000km away from the sun. Martian years is equal to 1.8809
earth years
Mars spin on it axis every 24.63 hours. Mars orbits Sun in 687 Earth day.
Mars spin vertically by 25.2. Mars orbit is highly eccentric compared to
that of Earth, which means that its distance from the sun varies more
during a Martian year. A Martian day is 42 minutes longer than Earth day.
Mars have 2 moons. First moon is called Deimos moon the second is
called Phobos moon. The weight of Mars is 639E21kg of 0.107 earth mass
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third of
the 4 gas giants. Uranus is 14.5 bigger then Earth. It have
that blue and green color and it does not have a hard
surface and actually the surface was layers of clouds.
 The name Uranus, which was first created by the German
astronomer Johann Elert Bode.Uranus was also the name
of the Lord of the skies and also called Earth husband.
 Uranus is 868.124 kg .was When you step on Uranus you
will be more lighter because of it’s gravity. Uranus gravity
is 8.69 m/s².
 The distence of Uranus and the sun are 1,9 billion miles.
And the distence of neptune to uranus is 911,453,788
miles.

Distance From the closest planet: Jupiter and Saturn are about 680 million miles.
Wide: about 7330 km
Thickness: less than 100 meters
A rings: Distance from Saturn: 75,913 - 84,988, Width: 9,072
B rings: distance from Saturn: 57,166 - 73,06, width:15,485
C rings: distance from Saturn: 46,390 - 57,166, width:10,874
D rings: distance from Saturn: 41,570 - 46,298 width: 4,660
F ring: Distance from saturn:87,104 width:19-331.
Most of the rings of Saturn are made of ,Dust, ice, and solid rocks.
If you are living on Saturn you will weigh more than you are in earth because the gravity are less
than it is on earth so if you weight 20 kl in earth but in Saturn is 22 kl so the difference is only
about 2 Kl.

Meteoroid is a sand to a boulder sized particle of debris in the solar
system. The visible path of a meteoroids that enters Earth’s atmosphere
is known as the meteor or its called as the shooting star or the falling
star. If a meteoroids reach a ground and it survives by not destroyed into
a sand it is called the meteorite
There are around 15.000 tons of meteoroids space dusk in the universe.
The meteoroids size is almost the same as an very giant huge rock but
some is as small as a normal rock
This meteoroids are also around 30 to 100 kilograms
We can go around 1 meter to 10 meters around the meteoroids
Meteoroids can’t be predicted because sometimes they can move and
they can’t move so its hard to predict it its only depend on the nature
There is nothing in the meteoroids rock because it's just a normal rock
that has a huge weight, length, and size.
Usually the color of the meteoroids is usually black, grey, brown or even
dark red.
A comet is an icy small Solar System body (SSSB) that, when close enough to
the Sun, displays a visible coma (a thin, fuzzy, temporary atmosphere) and
sometimes also a tail. These phenomena are both due to the effects of solar
radiation and the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet. Comet nuclei range
from a few hundred meters to tens of kilometers across and are composed of
loose collections of ice, dust, and small rocky particles. Comets have been
observed since ancient times and have traditionally been considered bad omens.
 The solid nucleus or core of a comet consists mostly of ice and dust coated with
dark organic material with the ice composed mainly of frozen water but perhaps
other frozen substances as well, such as ammonia, carbon dioxide, carbon
monoxide and methane. The nucleus might have a small rocky core.
The colors of some comets are:
 blue/dark blue
 White
 Red
 Purple
 Green
 We only will se Halley's come once every 76 years
 The last time we see Haley's comet was on October 20 1998 so we will see Haley's
comet again at October 20 2074

If you weighed 70 pounds (32 kg) on the Earth, you would weigh
about 27 pounds (12 kg) on Mars.
 Mars temperature is -55 c to -133 c. But when it is summer the
temperature will go up to 27 c. In Earth the highest temperature is
56.7 c and the lowest will be -86 c
 The properties in Earth is rocks and soil, Fossil (underground),
animals, living things and wood. The properties in Mars are all
rocks. The color of the rocks are red. That’s why when we see Mars
it looks like the whole planet are full with red. That’s why it called
the red planet. All of the gasses are also red. It combined with the
rock dust and it mixed with the gasses. So it turned it red.
 In Mars it would be freezing if you were in Mars but in Earth
humans can still handle it but on Mars we wouldn’t handle it

Earth is the most sustainable planet for us
because it has what a human need oxygen
plants animals and shelter. But if humans live
in a different planet like Jupiter, Neptune,
Saturn, Mars etc. We would not live or survive
cause the gravity is high and the temperature
would be different either hotter or colder and
there would not be any oxygen suitable for
humans.
