    Mercury, Venus, and Earth


    Mars, Jupiter, Saturn

    THE SOLAR SYSTEM
    A solar system is a collection of planets, moons,
    asteroids, comets, and other extraterrestrial
    objects that includes one or more suns. There are
    eight planets and one sun in our solar system.
    THE

    SUN
    “The Heart of the Solar System”
    SUN
    • The Sun is the only star in our Solar System
    • The Sun is much bigger than all the planets
    combined.
    • The gravity of the Sun holds the solar system
    together, which also keeps all of the planets
    and debris in their orbits.
    • Seasons, ocean currents, weather,
    temperature, radiation belts, and auroras are
    all influenced by the Sun and Earth's
    relationship and interactions.
    THE PLANET
    MERCURY

    “The Swiftest Planet”


    MERCURY
    • Mercury is the smallest planet in our
    solar system.
    • Mercury is the nearest planet to the
    Sun.
    • There are tens of thousands of impact
    craters all throughout Mercury's
    surface.
    • With a speed of 88 Earth days,
    Mercury is the planet that orbits the
    Sun the fastest.
    THE PLANET
    VENUS

    “Earth’s Superheated Twin Sister”


    VENUS
    • Venus is the hottest planet and the
    sixth-largest planet in our solar system.
    • Venus is the second planet from the
    Sun.
    • Venus features rifts and plains formed
    by volcanic activity.
    • Venus rotates backward and has a day
    that is longer than its year.
    THE PLANET

    “The Ever-Evolving Planet”


    EARTH
    • Earth is the fifth largest planet in our solar
    system.
    • Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
    • The only proven home of life in the known
    universe is Earth.
    • Earth is the only one whose surface is known
    to contain liquid water.
    • The Earth has land, oceans, and an
    atmosphere with air we can breathe.
    • Every 365.25 days, Earth completes one orbit
    of the sun.

    “The Red Planet”


    MARS
    • The seventh largest planet is Mars.
    • Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.
    • Winds, collisions, crustal movement,
    and volcanoes have all changed the
    surface of Mars.
    • Nearly two Earth years make up a Mars
    year.

    system.

    planets.
    • There might be a small core to this gas-
    giant planet.
    • A full orbit around the Sun takes 29
