30 times the

The “gas giant” Jupiter
is the largest planet in
our Solar System.
Measuring by diameter,
it is about 11 times the
size of the Earth and its
mass is more than 300
times that of Earth.

 The Birth of the Planets
• Worlds collided, combined, and evolved for a dramatic
period of time. When it was over, there remained eight
stable planets that had swept their orbits clean.
• A planet is defined as a body that orbits the Sun, is massive
enough for its own gravity to make it spherical, and has
cleaned its neighborhood of smaller objects.
The Birth of the Planets
• In 2007, researchers at
the University of
California–Davis
determined that our Solar
System was fully formed
at 4.568 billion years
ago. They did this by
determining the age of
stony materials from the
asteroid belt.
 STELLAR WIND

• The Sun sent out energy and particles in a steady

stream, called stellar winds. These winds proved so
strong that they blew off most the gases of the four
planets closest to the Sun, leaving them smaller, with
only their rocks and metals intact. That’s why they are
called rocky, or terrestrial, planets.
 The Solar System

• What planets make up our solar system?

• (In order from the sun) Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto (dwarf
planet).
• Mang Victor Espinoza Mag Jogging Sa Umaga Ng

• The planets revolve around the Sun in paths
called orbits.
• The orbits of most planets are nearly
circular, with the Sun at the center of each
orbit.
• The period of time for one revolution
around the sun is called one orbital period.
• The earth’s orbital period is about 365 days.
• The earth’s rotation around its axis once
every 24h causes our day and night cycle.
