Understanding Our Solar System: Planets, Moons, and Beyond

Dive into the fascinating world of our Solar System, where the Sun shines as the central star and planets, moons, and dwarf planets orbit around it. Learn about the four inner terrestrial planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars—and the gas giants—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Discover the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter, its dwarf planet Ceres, and the icy Kuiper Belt where comets are born. Explore how gravity influences orbits and the unique characteristics of each celestial body in this cosmic neighborhood.

  1. Solar System What you need to know Where we live in Space

  2. The Sun Sol= Sun Hydrogen + Helium

  3. Planets Inner Planets Outer Planets

  4. Mercury Terrestrial Not the hottest planet Closest planet to sun

  5. Venus Terrestrial Closest in size to Earth Hottest Planet

  6. Mars Terrestrial Last Inner Planet Has two Satellites (moons)

  7. Asteroid Belt Between Mars and Jupiter

  8. Asteroid Belt Small Irregularly shaped objects

  9. Asteroid Belt Contains the Dwarf Planet Ceres

  10. Outer Planets Gas Giants

  11. Jupiter Largest Planet in Solar System 50 Regular Moons 14 Provisional Moons

  12. Saturn Rings are made mostly of ice

  13. Uranus Rotates on its side

  14. Neptune Blue Color is from Methane Gas

  15. Kuiper Belt Small icy objects Dwarf planets Some comets come from here

  16. Pluto Dwarf Planet

  17. Comets Rock and Ice Tail when close to Sun Elliptical Orbits

  18. Oort Cloud More icy objects and comets End of Solar System

  19. Orbits Planets orbit/revolve around Sun Planetary orbits are roughly circular Satellites revolve around planets. Planets rotate on their axes

  20. Orbit Elliptical orbits

  21. Gravity Force acting on objects Sun’s gravity keeps planets orbiting it Planets’ gravities keep satellites orbiting

  22. Earth orbits Gravity No Gravity= Earth flies straight out Sun
