The Sun’s core is
36,000,000 F.
The stars are huge
balls of
superheated gas.
The sun is in the
Milky way galaxy.
It makes its own light
and heat.

out of rock and metal.
• It is located between

Solar System
• The Solar System
contains galaxies,
planets, the sun, the
Asteroid belt, the
Kuiper belt, and the
Oort cloud.
• It also contains the
smaller bodies which
are comets, asteroids,
meteoroids, and stars.
• MERCURY: In sunlit areas the
surface is hot enough to melt lead.
• VENUS: Venus rotates backwards
compared to other planets.
• EARTH: Has the only known life in
the Solar System.
• MARS: Has the Solar System’s
largest volcano, Olympus Mons, that
has a base larger than New Mexico.
• JUPITER: “ The Great Red Spot “ on
Jupiter is a gigantic storm that has lasted
since the time of Galileo.
• SATURN: It has a wide, thin system of
rings made of small pieces of rock and ice.
• URANUS: A possible collision with an
earth-sized object that may have knocked
Uranus on its side. As a result, it rolls
around in orbit.
• NEPTUNE: It is one of the windiest
places in the Solar System. Winds top
about 620 miles per hour.
• PLUTO: It is normally the ninth
planet but its orbit goes inside
Neptune and Uranus making it
sometimes the eighth planet.
• SUN: The Sun’s surface is cooler
than its atmosphere.
• An asteroid is a chunk
made of rock and
metal that orbits the
sun.
• There have been 26
asteroids discovered.
• Asteroids don’t have
enough gravity to pull
themselves into the
shape of a ball.
• A comet is a world of
dust and ice.
• Another name for a
comet is planetesimal.
• Comets are found in
the Kuiper belt and
the Oort cloud.
• Stars are big exploding balls of gas.
• They are mostly made of helium and
hydrogen.
• The Sun is the biggest star because it
is the closest.
• The Milky Way
Galaxy has 200
billion stars.
• A disk, a bulge, and a
halo are the three
main components.
• Milky way’s mass is
between 750 billion
and one trillion solar
masses.
