An overview of the

Solar System


The Sun

• The sun is the biggest, brightest, and hottest object in the solar system.

• The sun is an ordinary star.• The sun is made of about

70% hydrogen and 28% helium.


Mercury

• Mercury is solid and is covered with craters.

• Mercury has almost no atmosphere.

• Mercury is the eighth largest planet.


Venus

• Venus is the sixth largest planet. It’s about three-fourths the size of earth.

• The surface is rocky and very hot. The atmosphere completely hides the surface and traps the heat.


Earth

• Earth is the fifth largest planet and the third from the sun.• Liquid covers 71 percent of the Earth’s surface.• The Earth has one moon.


Moon


Mars

• Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.

• Mars has a thin atmosphere that contains mostly carbon dioxide.

• Mars has two small moons.


Moons of Mars

Phobos

Deimos


Jupiter


Jupiter’s Red Spot

• The Great Red Spot, a huge storm of swirling gas that has lasted for hundreds of years.

• Jupiter does not have a solid surface. The planet is a ball of liquid surrounded by gas.


Moons of Jupiter

• Jupiter has four large Galilean moons, twelve smaller named moons and twenty-three more recently discovered but not named moons.

• We’ll take a look at the four large Galilean moons which were first observed by Galileo in 1610.


Io

– Io is the fifth moon of Jupiter. It’s the third largest of Jupiter’s moons.

– Io has hundreds of volcanic calderas. Some of the volcanoes are active.


Europa

• Europa is the sixth of Jupiter’s moons and is the fourth largest.

• It is slightly smaller than the Earth’s moon.

• The surface strongly resembles images of sea ice on Earth. There may be a liquid water sea under the crust.

• Europa is one of the five known moons in the solar system to have an atmosphere.


Ganymede

• Ganymede is the seventh and largest of Jupiter’s known satellites.

• Ganymede has extensive cratering and an icy crust.


Callisto

• Callisto is the eighth of Jupiter’s known satellites and the second largest.

• Callisto has the oldest, most cratered surface of any body yet observed in the solar system.


Saturn

• Saturn is the second largest planet and the sixth from the sun.

• Saturn is made of materials that are lighter than water. If you could fit Saturn in a lake, it would float!


Rings of Saturn

• Saturn’s rings are not solid; they are composed of small countless particles.

• The rings are very thin. Though they’re 250,000km or more in diameter, they’re less than one kilometer thick.


Uranus

• Uranus is the third largest planet and the seventh from the sun.

• Uranus is one of the giant gas planets.

• Uranus is blue-green because of the methane in its atmosphere.


Neptune

• Neptune is the fourth largest planet and the eight from the sun.

• Because of the orbits, from 1979 to 1999, Neptune was the ninth planet.

• Like Uranus, the methane gives Neptune its color.


Pluto

• Pluto is the smallest planet and usually the farthest from the sun.

• Pluto is the only planet that has not been visited by a spacecraft.
