7. 7.2 Members of Solar
System
divide by formation and the
elements in 4 region
1. Inner planets
2. Asteroid belt
3. Outer planets
4. Oort’s cloud
8. 1. Inner planets
The terrestrial planets
Between the Sun and Asteroid belt
Mercury, Venus, Earth ,Mars
The planets that are small and
rocky, Metal Core.
9. 2. asteroid belt
Most asteroids lie between the
orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
An asteroid is a small, rocky body
whose diameter can range from a
few hundred kilometers to less than
a kilometer.
Example : Gaspra, Ceres, Pallas

11. 3. Outer planets Giant
planets, The Jovian planets)
The Giant planets, with huge gas ,
Hydrogen and Helium.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.
12. 4. Oort’s cloud
The Oort’s cloud are comets with
long orbital periods appear to be
distributed in all directions from the
sun, forming a spherical shell
around the solar system

15. Meteoroid
A meteoroid is a small, solid
particle that travels through space.
A meteor is the luminous
phenomenon observed when a
meteoroid enters Earth’s
atmosphere and burns up,
popularly called a shooting star
A meteorite( ) is any
17. Kuiper belt object
Like the asteroids in the inner solar
system
Most Kuiper belt comets move in
nearly circular orbits that lie
roughly in the same plane as the
planets
Example Objects : Pluto , Eris

20. 7.3 The Sun
The Sun is informally designated as
a yellow dwarf, based on spectral
class, is G2
surface temperature of
approximately 5778 K (5505 C)
It has a diameter of about
1,392,684 km about 109 times that
of Earth

21. The Sun device into 2 part
1. the Solar Interior.
2. Atmospheric Layers.
22. The Solar Interior :
divide into 3 layer
1. Core : A temperature of
Core close to 15.7 million kelvin.
Energy is produced by nuclear
fusion.
2. Radiation zone
3. Convection zone
