Our Solar System and planet formed 4.6 billion years ago(All of the planets,including Earth and
Sun).This is 9 billion years after the Big Bang.

How The Stars And

planets form?
It form by the accretion. Accretion
make the gas and rocks come
together and form larger and larger
celestial bodies due to gravity.

Accretion is the process of growth

or increase,typically by the
gradual accumulation of
additional leyers or mater .
ThE pRocesS of NuclEar FusIOn
Stars have immense volume,mass,and gravity necessary to bond basic elements to
form heavier elements through the process of nuclear fusion which gives off immense
amounts of energy in the form of electromagnetic radiation!
tERRestrIal & JoviAn PlaNet
Terrestrial planet and Jovian planet are all celestial bodies.But they are also different because they have
different characteristics.(Sun and Moon are not including in the celestial bodies.)

Terrestrial Planet: Jovian Planet:

They are closest from the sun and made They are farther from the sun and have
up of rocks, less mass, and higher dense. large masses,low dense
Why Do we sEE DiffErENT
ConSTellaTIonS aT DiFFEreNT tiMe Of
yeAr?
Because of the revolution of the earth.(Revolution is the movement of one object around a
center.)

The 12 constellations are:

★ Aquarius ★ Leo
★ Capricorn ★ Cancer
★ Sagittarius ★ Gemini
★ Scorpio ★ Taurus
★ Libra ★ Aries
★ Virgo ★ Pisces
My constellation is GEMINI
because I born in June 15.
How tHE stARs ReaLLy lOok Who GAve NaME tO The
liKe ? StaRS?
The stars do not look like how we draw it in the Most of the brightest stars are named after characters in
life,which is ★. Actually they look like the picture the mythology from various cultures. Many of them (like the
below! planets) therefore have different names depending on where you
are in the world. They were often named in prehistory by our
ancestors who gazed at the stars trying to find patterns and
stories in what they saw (this is also where the names for the
visible planets and the constellations came from).
Modern astronomers have given the stars new names so that
they can keep track of them more easily. Stars are named for
the constellation that they lie in with the brightest star in a
constellation being alpha and so on throughout the greek
alphabet. For example, Betelgeuse which is the brightest star in
the constellation Orion, is also called Alpha Orionis.
WhICh staRs iS bIGGer thaN tHe Sun?

Based on the Reference Tables Alpha Centauri,Sirius,Pollux,Aldebaran,Polaris,Spica,Rigel,Betelgeuse

and Deneb.
WhY is sTars ImPOrtAnte?

Stars are so important because they navigate us when it is dark.The most important star
that make life possible is the sun without it life would not exist.Earth would be a big rock
and ice chunk.Stars are very important for Earth and human life.

How cOUld yoU imPrOve TheRe is AnoTher'S

PlaNetS That We Don’T kNow?

There is another’s planets that we don’t know,because the scientists think that there is
another universe and solar system by the black hole.So there is imposible that there is
another planets that we don’t know.

SuMMariZe Of my UndeRsTandiNg
The stars system formed at the same years with the solar system which is 4.5 billions
ago. Stars and planets form due to the process of accretion, and stars have the basic
elements to form heaviers process through the process of nuclear fusion, the Sun is
also a star because it is massive enough to undergo nuclear fusion.

Even though all the planets in solar system are celestial bodies,but they have different
characteristics and name by two group of planets which is Terrestrial planet and
Jovian planet.Terrestrial planet are made up of rocks and they are closest to the sun,so
they have high density.Jovian planet have large masses and are father of the sun,so
they have low density than the terrestrial planet.Terrestrial planet include
Mercury,Earth,Mars and Venus.Jovian planet include Jupiter,Neptune,Uranus and
Stum.
