Solar Sytem

If that so, buckle your seatbelts.

Ten, Nine, Eigth, Seven, Six, Five, Four, Three, Two, One.

Blass off!!

We’re on our way through Solar System.

A Solar System is a place where planets, moons, asteroids, comets,
minor planets, and many other exciting things revolve around
the sun, or a star. It is the gravitationally bound system of the
Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of
the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight
planets, with the remainder being smaller objects, such as the five
dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. There are billions of
Solar Systems in the universe.

Now we are heading to the Sun. But the thing is we can’t come
closer to Sun because the Sun is way too hot for anyone to get
close to it. Did you know that the Sun was a star?

SUN is only one of more than 200 billion star in the Milky Way
Galaxy. It is in the center of our Solar System. It is a nearly
perfect sphere of hot plasma, with internal convective motion
that generates a magnetic field via a dynamo process. It’s not the
biggest or the brightest. But it is the closest star to our planet and
the important source of life. Without the sun, we wouldn’t be able
to live on Earth. Nothing else could either. Without the Sun, we
wouldn’t have heat or light or clouds or rain.

Did you also know that: The Sun is about 93 million miles away
from Earth, but its effect on the Earth is huge?

Now that were done with the Sun, now let’s look to the first
planet that orbiting to the Sun.
MERCURY, even though it is the closest planet in the Sun it is
one of the coldest planets. That is because it has no atmosphere to
trap the heat. This is the smallest and the innermost planet in the
Solar System. It has many craters, just like the moon, and is very
rocky huge cliffs.

Did you know that: Mercury spins so slowly that a day on it was
nearly as long as two months on Earth? And it is named after the
Roman deity the messenger of the gods?

Now we are heading at the second planet in the Solar System.

VENUS, actually this is the hottest planet and it is the brightest

object you can see in the sky at night. Some people call it the
“Evening Star or the Morning Star,” but we know it is not a star
at all, right? Thick layers of clouds surround it, which traps the
heat from the Sun. It has the longest rotation period of any
planet in the Solar System and rotates in the opposite direction to
most other planets.

Did you know that: It is named after the Roman goddess of love
and beauty? And it is orbiting every 22.7 Earth days?

Now let’s fly over to the third planet in the Solar System
EARTH, this is the only planet in the Solar System with massive
amounts of water covering its surface. That’s why it looks so blue
from up here. This is the third planet from the Sun and the only
astronomical object known to harbor life. It’s gravity with other
objects in space, especially the Sun and the Moon, Earth’s only
natural satellite.

Did you know that: The Earth moves at a speed of about 1.3
million miles per hour (2.1 million km/hr.)?

The Moon is only one-quarter million miles away, which means

it’s our closest neighborhood. There isn’t any air on moon. There
isn’t water, either. Nothing lives on the moon, although
astronauts traveling in their own rocket ships landed on the
moon and walked on it. Every 29 days or so the moon goes
through its complete cycle or phases as it changes its position
between Earth and the Sun. Sometimes it becomes practically
invisible. This is called a New Moon. Other times it looks like a
crescent. When it is full, it lights up the sky like a big bright.

Did you know that: The first footstep on the moon was made by
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin in 1969 and it is still in there?

Now we’re on our way to the fourth planet.

MARS, there is a lot of rusty iron in the soil on it, that’s why the
planet looks red. This is the second smallest planet in the Solar
System next to Mercury.

Did you know that: Mars have two tiny moons called Phobos and
Deimos? Also it is named after the Roman god of war?
Now we’re off to the fifth and the biggest planet of our Solar
System.

JUPITER, it has rings surrounding it and is more than one and

half times as big as all the other planets put together. It has more
moons than any other planets, which seems fair since it is the
biggest.

Did you know that: One year in Jupiter is the same as 12 years on
Earth?

We’re flying past to the second largest planet now.

SATURN, it is known as the most beautiful planet in the Solar

System. It is surrounded by the thousands of small rings made of
ice, dust and rocks that spin around the planet like millions of
tiny moons.

Did you know that: Saturn has one large moon and six medium-
sized moons and is a stormy planet? That sometimes the wind
blow 1,100 per hour?

Here is the seventh planet in the Solar System.

URANUS, this planet has five icy moons and at least 22 smaller
ones. Because it is so far from the Sun, it is very cold here. It
moves slowly and it has such long way to go.

Did you know that: Uranus takes 84 Earth years to orbit the
Sun?

Now we are on the last planet that we are going to visit in the
Solar System.

NEPTUNE, this is the stormiest planet of all, the winds on it are

even stronger than the winds on Saturn. It has at least 13 moons
and two bright outer rings, an inner ring and a thin, dusty ring.
This is too far away from Earth to see, unless you’re looking
through a very strong telescope.

Did you know that: Neptune’s atmosphere mainly comprises of

helium and hydrogen?

Let’s orbit Mercury and head back to Earth. This was a quite
adventure, wasn’t it? Our Solar System is huge! But you have to
remember, it’s just a small part of the Universe. There are many
other Solar Systems out there. Bye!
