 SOLAR SYSTEM

A planetary system consisting of the Sun and

gravitationally associated celestial bodies. These
bodies include 8 planets, 173 known planetary
moons, 5 dwarf planets and billions (and
perhaps even billions) of small solar system
bodies, which include asteroids, comets,
meteoroids and interplanetary dust.
Planetary system
The solar system was formed about 4.6
billion years ago from the density of the
molecular cloud. This relatively rare cloud
of gas (primarily hydrogen and helium) and
cosmic dust with a diameter of several light
years sank gravitationally - probably under
the influence of some external
disturbance, associated for example with a
nearby supernova explosion.
 Mercury

• Mercury - the smallest and

closest to the Sun planet of the
Solar System.
• The shape of Mercury's surface
resembles the Moon: there are
numerous impact craters on it
and practically devoid of
atmosphere. The surface
temperature varies from -183 °
C to 427 ° C.
 Venus
• Venus - the second solar
system planet in terms of
distance from the Sun.
• Venus is classified as a rocky
planet (in other words:
terrestrial type) and is
sometimes called the "twin
planet" or "sister of the Earth"
- due to its similar size, mass
and chemical composition.
 Earth
• Earth - the third, counting from the Sun, and the fifth largest
planet in the Solar System. In terms of diameter, mass and
density, it is the largest rocky planet in the Solar System.
• The land is inhabited by millions of species, including man, is
the only known place in the universe in which life occurs.
 Mars
• Mars - the fourth according to the solar system planet from
the Sun.
• On September 28, 2015, NASA announced that evidence of
liquid salty water was found on the surface of the planet. In
the summer months, liquid water flows from the slopes of
canyons and crater walls in the form of streams and leaves
dark spots that may be up to several hundred meters long.
 Jupiter
• Jupiter - the fifth in the
order away from the Sun
and the largest planet in the
Solar System. The largest
planet in the solar system
consists of three-quarters of
hydrogen and one-quarter
of helium. It may also have a
rocky core composed of
heavier elements.
 Saturn
• Saturn - a giant gas, the sixth planet in the solar system in
terms of distance from the Sun, the second after Jupiter in
terms of mass and size.
• Its characteristic feature is the rings, consisting mainly of ice
and in smaller amounts from rock fragments.
• Saturn's pressure and temperature prevail in the interior of
Saturn, which has not yet been found in laboratories on Earth.
 Uranus
• Uranus - a giant gas, the seventh solar system planet in the
order from the Sun. It is also the third largest planet in terms
of its size and fourth in our system.
• Uranus and chemical composition resemble Neptune, and
both planets have a different structure and composition than
larger gaseous giants: Jupiter and Saturn. Astronomers
sometimes place them in a separate category of "ice giants".
 Neptune
• Neptune - a giant gas, the eighth planet furthest
from the Sun in the solar system.
• The interior of Neptune, like Uranus, consists mainly
of ice cream and rocks. Traces of methane in the
external areas of the planet contribute to giving it a
characteristic blue color.
 DWARF PLANETS
In addition to the "ordinary" planets around the
Sun, dwarf planets also circulate.
Pluto Haumea
Ceres

Makemake
Eris
 CURIOSITIES
• Pluto until 2006 was considered the 9 planet of the
solar system,
• Neptune is the only planet whose existence has been
demonstrated not on the basis of observing the sky,
but on the path of mathematical calculations.
• During the fusion reaction occurring on the Sun, in
every second 5 million tons of matter is converted
into photon energy.
• The sun performs a full turn around the center of our
galaxy over 225 million years.
