SOLAR SYSTEM

Presentation by: Tirth Koladiya


1.
SUN
• Our Sun is a 4.5 billion-year-
old star – a hot glowing ball
of hydrogen and helium at
the center of our solar
system. The Sun is about 93
million miles (150 million
kilometers) from Earth, and
without its energy, life as we
know it could not exist here
on our home planet.
2. MERCURY
• Mercury is the fastest planet
in our solar system –
traveling through space at
nearly 29 miles (47
kilometers) per second. The
closer a planet is to the Sun,
the faster it travels.
3. VENUS
• Venus is the second planet from the Sun
and is Earth's closest planetary
neighbor. It's one of the four inner,
terrestrial (or rocky) planets, and it's
often called Earth's twin because it's
similar in size and density.
5. EARTH
• While Earth is only the fifth
largest planet in the solar
system, it is the only world
in our solar system with
liquid water on the surface.
Just slightly larger than
nearby Venus, Earth is the
biggest of the four planets
closest to the Sun, all of
which are made of rock and
metal.
6. MARS
• Mars is the fourth planet
from the Sun – a dusty, cold,
desert world with a very thin
atmosphere. Mars is also a
dynamic planet with
seasons, polar ice caps,
canyons, extinct volcanoes,
and evidence that it was
even more active in the
past.
5. JUPITER

• Jupiter is the fifth planet


from our Sun and is, by far,
the largest planet in the solar
system – more than twice as
massive as all the other
planets combined. Jupiter's
stripes and swirls are actually
cold, windy clouds of
ammonia and water, floating
in an atmosphere of
hydrogen and helium.
6.
SATURN
• Saturn is the sixth planet from the
Sun and the second-largest planet
in our solar system. Like fellow gas
giant Jupiter, Saturn is a massive
ball made mostly of hydrogen and
helium. Saturn is not the only
planet to have rings, but none are
as spectacular or as complex as
Saturn's. Saturn also has dozens of
moons.
7. URANUS
• Uranus is the seventh planet from the
Sun, and has the third-largest diameter
in our solar system. It was the first
planet found with the aid of a telescope,
Uranus was discovered in 1781 by
astronomer William Herschel, although
he originally thought it was either a
comet or a star.
8. NEPTUNE
• More than 30 times as far
from the Sun as Earth,
Neptune is the only planet
in our solar system not
visible to the naked eye and
the first predicted by
mathematics before its
discovery. In 2011 Neptune
completed its first 165-year
orbit since its discovery in
1846.
