    System
    Science: Earth & Space
    Lesson Outline
    The solar system
    The size and distances of the
    planets orbiting the sun
    Let's Dive Into Space!
    Have you ever wondered how big Earth is compared
    to other planets? How big is the Sun that its gravity
    can hold the objects in its system together?
    How far are the planets from each other?
    Learning
    Outcomes Know the sizes of the objects in
    the solar system
    Understand the distance of the
    planets from the sun
    Create a scale model of the sun
    and the planets in the system
    The Solar System
    The solar system consists of planets,
    moons, comets, asteroids, and other
    objects that orbit around the sun.
    The Solar System
    The planet we live on, called Earth, is in the solar system.
    There are 7 other major planets that orbit around the Sun.

    Venus Jupiter Neptune


    Earth Saturn
    Mercury Mars Uranus

    Note: The size and distance are not drawn to scale.


    The Size and Planet Radius Distance from the Sun

    Distances of Mercury 2,440 km 57.9 million km

    the Planets
    Venus 6,052 km 108.2 million km

    Earth 6,371 km 149.6 million km

    Look at this data. Imagine


    Mars 3,390 km 227.9 million km
    how large our universe is!
    Jupiter 69,911 km 778.3 million km

    Saturn 58,232 km 1,427.0 million km

    Uranus 25,362 km 2,871.0 million km

    Neptune 24,622 km 4,497.1 million km


    Let's
    Visualize! Using the data on the previous
    slide, create a scaled model of
    Materials: Cardboard, the distances of the planets in
    measuring device, tape, the solar system. Indicate the
    planet and sun cutouts. scale used. The distances should
    be proportional to the actual size.

    After creating a model, each


    group will have 10 minutes to
    share their work in class.
    Let's Recall!
    What is the order of the
    8 planets in the solar
    system according to its
    proximity to the sun?
    About how far is the
    earth from the sun?
    Let's Continue
    Learning!
    Study the properties of the
    planets to answer this question:
    What might happen if the earth
    is too far from the sun?
