  1. The Sun By Mrs. Severance’s Third Grade Class 2008 - 2009

  2. The Sun and the solar system • The Sun is the center of our solar system called the Milky Way. • There are eight planets and one dwarf planet that orbit the sun. • The Sun is the largest star in our solar system.

  3. Inside the sun • The Sun is made of hydrogen and helium. These create gases that heat the Earth. • The temperature inside the Sun is 16,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit

  4. The surface of the Sun • Astronomersnever look at theSun. The Sun’s bright light can damageyour eyes or blind you. • The Sunssurface looks like it is boiling. • Temperaturepools on the Suncan reach more than10,000 degreesFahrenheit. • Solar flaressometimes eruptfrom the Sun’s surface.

  5. Exploring the Sun • Astronomers use space probes to study the Sun. The probes name was Ulysses. • Astronomers believe the Sun began as a giant cloud of gas. • Astronomers believe the Sun will last for five billion more years.

  6. Mercury By Isabella and Alex

  7. Atmosphere gases Mercury atmosphere is sodium Mercury has a small atmosphere. Mercury is really hot to live on. Mercury is the first planet from the sun. Mercury is really small.

  8. Mercury is 3,031 miles wide. Mercury is the smallest planet. It is about the size of Earth’s moon How big Mercury is.

  9. The meaning of Mercury Mercury was discovered in the 1500s Mercury is named after the Roman god. The mythical Roman winged messenger and escort of dead souls to the underworld. It was named for the speedy Mercury because it is the fastest-moving planet.

  10. Mercury’s atmosphere Mercury has almost no atmosphere, because of that it has extreme temperatures. The side that faces the sun can reach 800 degrees Fahrenheit. The side that faces away from the sun can drop is minus 300 degrees Fahrenheit.

  11. Venus By Jordan and Austin

  12. Venus • Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system. • This planet is about the same size as earth but is covered with impenetrable clouds of carbon dioxide and sulfur compounds. • This makes the daytime about 115 earth days long and surface temperature 464 degrees Celsius.

  13. Venus • Venus takes about 225 days to orbit the sun. • Venus was named after the Roman goddess of love. • The brightest of all planet’s Venus is also known as the morning and evening star.

  14. Discovery of Venus • No one know who discovered Venus, since it is so obvious in the sky. • Robert Richardson noticed that Venus rotates "backwards". In other words, on Venus the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east.

  15. Venus’s Atmosphere • This planet is covered with fast-moving sulphuric acid clouds which trap heat from the Sun. • Its thick atmosphere is mostly carbon dioxide.

  16. EARTH By Ashleigh and Brennan

  17. Size of Earth The Earth is about 7,926 miles in diameter. It is smaller than Venus Earth is the third planet from the sun

  18. Atmosphere The atmosphere is a thin layer of gases that surrounds the Earth. It is composed of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of other gases.

  19. Old Earth We once thought Earth was the center of the solar system In the 1500s Nicolaus Copernicus discovered the sun was actually the center.

  20. What Earth’s Made Of Earth’s made up of hot iron Earth has 3 layers The core Mantel lithosphere Earth is also made of dirt

  21. Mars By Tina and Jared

  22. Atmosphere A thin layer of 95 % carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen, and 1.6% argon (there is no oxygen). My temperature is 27degrees above zero degrees Celsius.

  23. Size Mars is about 4,222 miles in diameter. Mars has 2 moons. Mars has no rings.

  24. Rotation on axis My rotation on axis is 24 hours on. Mars is iron in the red dirt. The red on Mars is iron.

  25. Discovered Mars Mars was discovered when humans have know about the existence of our moon. We do not know who exactly discovered Mars but who ever discovered Mars was smart.

  26. Jupiter By Lauren and Scott

  31. Saturn Stefen Gill and Rebecca Piche.

  32. Saturn Saturn has 18 moons Saturn is the second largest planet Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun

  33. Saturn’s rings Saturn’s rings are made out of ice and rocks Today scientists have learned that Saturn has thousands of rings that formed one big ring

  34. Titan Titan is Saturn’s largest moon Titan is one of Saturn’s moons. It is 3,200 miles wide.

  35. ATMOSPHERE Saturn’s atmosphere is minus177degrees °c hydrogen and helium. Saturn’s atmosphere is a mixture of ammonia, water vapor, helium, andhydrogen Saturn is blue around it because the blue is its atmosphere

  36. Temperature • The temperature in its upper atmosphere is minus 287 ° F • Saturn’s temperature is always much colder than earth • The temperature at top of Saturn’s clouds averages 288°F I hope you liked our report !

  37. Uranus By Mary and Zahriyah

  38. Uranus’s moons Uranus has at least 18 moons 5 moons and 10 other moons Voyager 2 flew by Uranus

  39. Exploring Uranus William Herschel discovered Uranus in 1781. People know very little about Uranus before 1977. The planet was to far away to study easily. Scientists will not send another space probe to Uranus for many years.

  40. Fast Facts about Uranus. • Rotation period 17 hours ,14minutes. • Uranus has 84 years to go around the sun. • 2,871million kilometers from the sun. • Name after Greek god of the sky.
