What is a solar system?
-composes the Sun together with the eight planets and their moons
-includes other celestial bodies that orbit the sun
the largest object in our solar system
-where most of the ENERGY and LIGHT on Earth comes from.
known as the twin planet of the Earth
also called as “Morning Star” or “Evening Star”
It has a thick, poisonous atmosphere of carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid.
Venus spins backwards compared to other planets
Earth is a water world, with two-thirds of the planet covered by ocean.
The only world known to harbor life.
Oceans at least 4 km deep cover nearly 70 percent of Earth's surface.
Known as the RED PLANET
Mars is a small rocky body once thought to be very Earth-like.
Volcanism, impacts from other bodies, movements of its crust, and atmospheric effects such as dust storms have changed its surface.
It has polar ice caps that grow and recede with the change of seasons.

2. Song: “The Planets”
(Tune: ‘B-I-N-G-O’ & ‘The Nine Planets’)
There are nine planets in the solar system
Together we can say their names, ohh!

12. -The smallest planet in the Solar System
-Rocky planet with many craters.
-Scientists have found water ice inside deep
craters at the north and south poles.

20. ANSWER:
People cannot live in the moon
due to a number of challenges they
will experience.
In addition, there is no oxygen
supply and no source of energy for
human activities such as heating.
22. Known as the RED PLANET
Mars is a small rocky body once thought to be very Earth-like.
Volcanism, impacts from other bodies, movements of its crust,
and atmospheric effects such as dust storms have changed its
surface.
It has polar ice caps that grow and recede with the change of
seasons.
24. the largest planet-serves as the “Solar System’s
Vacuum Cleaner”
it sucks all the dust and comets from the space
Atmosphere: 90% hydrogen, 10% helium, .07% methane
Its immense, complex atmosphere includes the Great Red
Spot, a 300-year-old storm that is almost the size of
three Earths.
26. the second largest planet in the solar system
”The Ringed Planet”
known to be the “Most Beautiful Planet” in the Solar
System
Composition: Saturn is a gas giant. It is made mostly of
hydrogen and helium.
28. a very cold planet
the Uranus' blue color is the result of a gas called
"methane" found in the planet's upper atmosphere.
Composition: It is a "gas giant" with no solid surface.
Interesting Facts: Uranus spins backwards compared to
other planets.
30. third largest planet in the solar system
its blue color comes from “Methane gas”
has the strongest winds in the Solar System
Composition: Neptune is one of the Gas Giants;
therefore Neptune has no solid surface.
33. never considered as Planet
much smaller than any of the official planets
now classified as a "dwarf planet"
Atmosphere: perhaps methane and nitrogen
Facts: Pluto spins backwards to most other planets.
34.
35. -Stars are huge balls of glowing gas in the sky.
-Are over 200 billion, billion stars in the universe.
36.
37. Asteroids
are small, airless rocky worlds revolving around
the sun that are too small to be called planets.
38. They are also known as planetoids or minor
planets.
39. a system of millions or
billions of stars, together
with gas and dust, held
together by gravitational
attraction.
Galaxies
40. are basically dusty snowballs
which orbit the Sun.
They are made of ices, such
as water, carbon dioxide,
ammonia and methane, mixed
with dust.
Comet
