A BRIEF LOOK AT THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Why do we call it ‘Solar System’?

We refer to the “solar system” as it has been named after our sun, called “sol”
which is Latin for “sun.” The words “Solar System” relate to two things: Any
celestial body that is “of the Sun,” and a collection of objects that work
together to form the entire whole.

WHEN WAS IT FORMED?

SCIENTISTS BELIEVE THAT OUR SOLAR SYSTEM WAS FORMED AROUND 4.5 BILLION YEARS
AGO. WE HAVE OBSERVED HOW SYSTEMS ARE CREATED AND THEY BEGIN WITH A DENSE CLOUD
OF INTERSTELLAR DUST AND GAS THAT EXPERIENCES A COLLAPSE.

AS IT SPINS, GRAVITY OCCURS AND PULLS MORE AND MORE MATERIAL IN UNTIL THE
PRESSURE IN THE CENTER BECOMES SO GREAT THAT HYDROGEN ATOMS COMBINE WITH HELIUM
TO RELEASE A HUGE AMOUNT OF ENERGY.

How is it structured?

Scientists believe that the early solar system looked completely different than
the one that we see today. It’s thought that the planets that we have now were
probably in totally different locations, with the gas giants formed and orbiting
closer to the sun.
There is also a good possibility that we had many more objects rotating and some
may have been kicked out of the solar system while others simply crashed into
existing objects to be engulfed by them.

 






Mars


MARS

The fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar
System.
Gravity on Mars is 38 percent of Earth's gravity, so a 100-pound person on Earth
would weigh 38 pounds on Mars.
Mars is one of the most explored bodies in our solar system, and it's the only
planet where we've sent rovers to roam the alien landscape.

Jupiter


JUPITER

The fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System.
Jupiter has the shortest day of all the planets. It turns on its axis once every
9 hours and 55 minutes.
Jupiter is the third-brightest natural object in the Earth's night sky after the
Moon and Venus.
Jupiter has a very strong magnetic field. This is around 14 times stronger than
the magnetic field found on Earth – the largest of any planet in the solar
system.

SUN


THE SUN

The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is a nearly perfect
ball of hot plasma,[18][19] heated to incandescence by nuclear fusion reactions
in its core, radiating the energy mainly as visible light, ultraviolet light,
and infrared radiation. It is by far the most important source of energy for
life on Earth. Its diameter is about 1.39 million kilometres (864,000 miles), or
109 times that of Earth. Its mass is about 330,000 times that of Earth, and it
accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of the Solar System.[20] Roughly
three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen (~73%); the rest is mostly
helium (~25%), with much smaller quantities of heavier elements, including
oxygen, carbon, neon and iron.[21]

Earth


EARTH

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to
harbour and support life. 29.2% of Earth's surface is land consisting of
continents and islands. The remaining 70.8% is covered with water, mostly by
oceans, seas, gulfs, and other salt-water bodies, but also by lakes, rivers, and
other freshwater, which together constitute the hydrosphere. Much of Earth's
polar regions are covered in ice. Earth's outer layer is divided into several
rigid tectonic plates[list] that migrate across the surface over many millions
of years, while its interior remains active with a solid iron inner core, a
liquid outer core that generates Earth's magnetic field, and a convective mantle
that drives plate tectonics.

Neptune


NEPTUNE 

Neptune is the eighth and farthest-known Solar planet from the Sun. In the Solar
System, it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter, the third-most-massive
planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17 times the mass of Earth, slightly
more massive than its near-twin Uranus. Neptune is denser and physically smaller
than Uranus because its greater mass causes more gravitational compression of
its atmosphere. The planet orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an average
distance of 30.1 AU (4.5 billion km; 2.8 billion mi). It is named after the
Roman god of the sea and has the astronomical symbol ♆, a stylised version of
the god Neptune's trident or the Greek letter psi.

Titan


TITAN

Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second-largest natural satellite in
the Solar System. It is the only moon known to have a dense atmosphere, and the
only known moon or planet other than Earth on which clear evidence of stable
bodies of surface liquid has been found.[15]

Titan is one of seven gravitationally rounded moons in orbit around Saturn, and
the second most distant from Saturn of those seven. Frequently described as a
planet-like moon, Titan is 50% larger (in diameter) than Earth's Moon and 80%
more massive. It is the second-largest moon in the Solar System after Jupiter's
moon Ganymede, and is larger than the planet Mercury, but only 40% as massive.

Discovered in 1655 by the Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens, Titan was the
first known moon of Saturn, and the sixth known planetary satellite (after
Earth's moon and the four Galilean moons of Jupiter). Titan orbits Saturn at 20
Saturn radii. From Titan's surface, Saturn subtends an arc of 5.09 degrees and,
were it visible through the moon's thick atmosphere, would appear 11.4 times
larger in the sky than the Moon from Earth.

Venus


VENUS

Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It is named after the Roman goddess of
love and beauty. As the brightest natural object in Earth's night sky after the
Moon, Venus can cast shadows and can be, on rare occasions, visible to the naked
eye in broad daylight.[17][18] Venus lies within Earth's orbit, and so never
appears to venture far from the Sun, either setting in the west just after dusk
or rising in the east a little while before dawn. Venus orbits the Sun every
224.7 Earth days.[19] It has a synodic day length of 117 Earth days and a
sidereal rotation period of 243 Earth days. As a consequence, it takes longer to
rotate about its axis than any other planet in the Solar System, and does so in
the opposite direction to all but Uranus. This means the Sun rises in the west
and sets in the east.[20] Venus does not have any moons, a distinction it shares
only with Mercury among the planets in the Solar System.[21]
