SOLAR SYSTEM
Our Solar System is made up of eight
planets, their moon, and our sun.
The first four planets are called the inner
planets. They are closest to the sun. their
names are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.
The next four planets are called the outer
planets. Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and
Neptune are called the gas giant because
they are made mostly of gases.

Brightest planet in the solar
system.

 Venus is known as earth


sister because of it’s similar
size.

 Venus has longer day than


tear.

 It takes 243 days for Venus


to make a rotation, and 224
days to orbit around the sun.
EARTH
(Our Home)
 The Earth
estimated to be 4.5
billion years old.

 The world is not

spheroid.

 The Earth revolves

365 days.
MARS

planet to the sun. it can be
easily seen from earth.

 Mars orbits the sun every

 A hundred pound man would


weight 38 pounds on mars.
 Jupiter is the largest
planet in our Solar System. JUPITER
 Jupiter volume is large
enough to contain 1,300
planets the size of earth.

 Jupiter rotates faster than


any other planets in the
solar system. It rotates so
quickly that the days are
only 10 hours long.
