Download Our Gigantic Solar System

How big is our solar system?
 Our solar system is really too big
for us to imagine.
 The solar system really IS too big
for us to imagine. It is FAR more
than 9,000,500 miles.Wow.

What other celestial bodies are in our solar
system?
The other bodies are all terrestrial
objects--planets, comets, asteroids,
moons, and such.
Celestial bodies include stars, planets,
galaxies, nebulae, comets, meteoroids,
satellites, and asteroids.
In our solar system there are 9
planets: Mercury, Pluto, Earth,
Neptune, Jupiter, Uranus, Venus,
Mars, and Saturn.
 In the order of closest to the sun to
farthest to the sun it would go:
Mercury, Venus, Earth , Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto.

The Sun is the star at the center of the
Solar System. It is almost perfectly
spherical and consists of hot plasma
interwoven with magnetic fields.[11][12] It
has a diameter of about 1,392,000 km,
about 109 times that of Earth, and its mass
(about 2×1030 kilograms, 330,000 times
that of Earth) accounts for about 99.86% of
the total mass of the Solar System.[13]
Chemically, about three quarters of the
Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the
rest is mostly helium. The remainder
(1.69%, which nonetheless equals 5,628
times the mass of Earth) consists of heavier
elements, including oxygen, carbon, neon and
iron, among others.[14]

Mercury is the closest to the sun.
35,983,047 miles (57,909,100 km) from
the sun
Mercury's diameter is 4879 km or 3,032
miles
Mercury is a rocky planet with a huge iron
core which makes up a large part of its
interior. The core takes up nearly 3/4 of
the planet's diameter. Mercury's iron core
is about the size of the moon. Iron makes
up about 70% of Mercury's total weight
making Mercury the most iron-rich planet
in the solar system. On top of this core,
lies an outer, rocky shell which is about
350 miles (~550 km) thick.


Venus is almost the same size as Earth
Venus's diameter is 7,257 miles (11,677
kilometres)
The average distance of Venus from the sun
is 67,237,910 miles or 108,208,930 km.
Made out of a central iron core and a rocky
mantle.
The atmosphere of Venus is incredibly dense
and cloud covered. The clouds are made of
sulfuric acid droplets and sulfur dioxide
(instead of water).


Earth's total surface is an area that
measuring 197,000,000 square
miles(09,600,000 square kilometres)
Earth, with average distance of 92,955,820
miles (149,597,890 km) from the sun.
Earth has a core of solid and liquid iron, a
mantle of ultramafic rock, a crust of
complex mineral compounds, and an
atmosphere of nitrogen, oxygen, and other
gases. Physical and chemical reactions on the
Earth include the compound water
(dihydrogen oxide or oxidane) in all three of
its physical phases. Carbon-cycle (living)
organisms utilize and alter the surface of
the planet.
Mars is 668769 in km and in miles its
34655 m
 Mars' average distance from the sun in
the course of one complete revolution
is 227,939,100 km (141.6 million
miles)
 Mars is made of rock and iron oxides.
It's surface is covered in mountains,
volcanoes, valleys, ice caps and dried
up river beds. Mars is also very dry
like a desert. It is also red because of
the iron oxide in the pulverized rock
dust.
 Mars has two moons, Phobos and
Deimos.

Its diameter at the equator is 142,984 km and its
diameter at the poles is 133,708 km. Its volume is
1.43128×1015 km³ (1,431,280,000,000,000 km).
Using the Imperial system, Jupiter's average distance
- AKA Jupiter's semi major axis - it is 483.78 million
miles away from the sun.
Jupiter is one planet in the solar system which justifies
use of the word "gigantic". It is mostly composed of
hydrogen, helium, and methane, including the very cold
and dense liquid and solid phases of these gases.
Jupiter has 66 known moons, and more are discovered
with every space probe we send there. It is likely that
there are more not yet identified. The most recent are
extremely small. As with the icy moonlets in Saturn's
rings, there are millions of small objects orbiting the
planet, some as part of Jupiter's own rings.
Saturn is a gas giant.
Saturn has a mean diameter of
approximately 120,000 kilometres
(74,000 miles), and a mass 95 times
that of Earth.
 The average orbital distance of
Saturn from the Sun (its semi major
axial radius) is 1,433,449,370 km or
890,700,000 miles
 Saturn is made up of gases. 94%
hydrogen, 6% helium and small
amounts of methane and ammonia.
 Saturn has 62 moons with confirmed
orbits, as of March 2011. 53 have
been named and 9 are provisional.

Uranus has a Mass of : 8.6832×1025 kg
and a Radius of : 25,559 km.
The average distance Uranus is from the
Sun is 2,870,990,000 km (1,783,950,480
miles).
Uranus is made out of frozen methane
gas giving it the bluish-green color.
The 5 largest moons (boldface) were the
earliest discovered. The 13 inner moons
are involved with the 13 known rings of
Uranus.

Neptune's diameter is 49,528 kms/30,707
miles. It is about 17 times as massive as
Earth, but is not so dense as Earth.
The eighth planet from the sun, having a
sidereal period of revolution around the sun
of 164.8 years at a mean distance of 4.5
billion kilometres.
Neptune is made out of gases, mostly
methane and ammonia.
Neptune has thirteen known moons as of the
year 2010, five of those thirteen having
been just recently discovered in 2002 and in
2003.



Pluto has a diameter of less than 4,000
miles. (6400 kilometres).
About 3647240000 miles (5869660000
kilometers).
Pluto has a dense rock core, surrounded
by a thick layer of ice (possibly a layer
of liquid water near the core), with a
frozen nitrogen surface.
Pluto has four known moons. Charon, the
largest one, Hydra and Nix, both very
small. Charon was discovered in 1978, and
Nix/Hydra were identified in 2005.
