6. Unblocking of difficulties
What are the meaning of the following words?
a. Solar System Solar system is the gravitationally
bound system of the Sun and the
objects that orbit it, either directly
or indirectly.
b. Mercury
Mercury is the smallest planet in
our solar system and nearest to
the Sun, Mercury is only slightly
larger than Earth's Moon.
B. Presentation
Venus - second planet from the Sun and sixth in the solar
system in size and mass. No planet approaches closer to Earth
than Venus; at its nearest it is the closest large body to Earth
other than the Moon. Because Venus’s orbit is nearer the Sun
than Earth’s, the planet is always roughly in the same direction
in the sky as the Sun and can be seen only in the hours near
sunrise or sunset. When it is visible, it is the most brilliant
planet in the sky. Venus is designated by the symbol ♀.
- was one of the five planets—along with
Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn—known in
ancient times, and its motions were observed and
studied for centuries prior to the invention of
advanced astronomical instruments.
Earth - is the third planet from the Sun and the only
astronomical object known to harbor life.
- Its single most outstanding feature is that its
near-surface environments are the only places in
the universe known to harbour life. It is
designated by the symbol ♁. Earth’s name
in English, the international language
of astronomy, derives from Old English and
Germanic words for ground and earth, and it is
the only name for a planet of the solar
system that does not come from Greco-Roman
mythology.
