    The Solar System: A Fifth Grade Science

    Uploaded by

    Hervis Fantini
    The Solar System consists of the Sun and eight planets that orbit around it, along with their moons. The Sun is over 1 million times larger than Earth and its intense heat keeps the planets in orbit. The four inner planets are rocky and close to the Sun, while the four outer planets are gas giants farther from the Sun. Each planet has unique characteristics like atmospheric composition, size, and orbital properties determined by its distance from the Sun.

    The Solar System

    A Fifth Grade Science


    Introduction
    A solar system consists of a star and
    objects that revolve around it.
    Our Solar System consists of the Sun
    and nine known planets and the moons
    that orbit those planets.
    The force of gravity keeps planets in
    orbit around the sun.
    The Sun
    It is over one million times larger
    than Earth.
    It is eight light minutes away from
    Earth or 92,957,000 miles.
    The temperature is 15 million degrees
    K. One K = 13-25 million degrees!
    The Nine Known Planets

    the size of Earth
    Rocky surface covered
    by craters
    No water or air results
    in unchanged
    appearance
    Surface temperatures
    are hot enough to melt
    lead
    Uranus
    Seventh planet

    The tilt of the axis
    causes sunlight for
    42 years at a time
    Venus

    same size as the
    Earth
    Atmosphere
    consists of
    poisonous gases
    Earth
    Third planet from
    the Sun
    Largest of the four
    inner planets
    Only planet where
    life is known to
    exist
    70% of the surface
    is covered by water

    Ninth planet from
    the Sun
    Smallest of the
    planets
    Coldest planet
    Unusual orbit
    caused it to be the
    8th planet from
    1979 - 1999!
    Lets compare the
    planets to Earth
    A day on :

    Mercury = 3 Earth months


    Venus = 117 Earth days
    Mars = 41 minutes longer than
    an Earth day
    Jupiter = 10 Earth hours
    Saturn = 10 Earth hours
    Uranus = 13 Earth hours
    Neptune = 18 Earth hours
    Pluto = 7 Earth days
    If you weigh 85 lbs. On Earth,
    you weigh:
    32 lbs on Mercury
    77 lbs on Venus
    32 lbs on Mars
    244 lbs on Jupiter
    112 lbs on Saturn
    79 lbs on Uranus
    105 lbs on Neptune
    2.5 lbs on Pluto
    The Orbital Speed of the Planets
    Mercury = 30 miles per second
    Venus = 22 miles per second
    Earth = 19 miles per second
    Mars = 15 miles per second
    Jupiter = 8 miles per second
    Saturn = 6 miles per second
    Uranus = 4.2 miles per second
    Neptune = 3.3 miles per second
    Pluto = 2.9 miles per second
    Therefore, the further away from the Sun, the
    slower the orbital speed.
    The Earth has one Moon.
    How many moons do the other planets have?

    Mercury - 0
    Venus - 0
    Mars - 2
    Jupiter - 17
    Saturn - 22
    Uranus - 15
    Neptune - 2
    Pluto - 1
    The Moon
    It takes 365 days for Earth to revolve
    around the Sun.
    How long does it take the other planets?

    Mercury - 88 Earth days


    Venus - 225 Earth days
    Mars - about 2 Earth years
    Jupiter - 11.8 Earth years
    Saturn - 30 Earth years
    Uranus - 84 Earth years
    Neptune - 165 Earth years
    Pluto - 248 Earth years
