EARTH AND

LIFE SCIENCE
 What is
the
universe?
The universe is everything.
It includes all of space,
and all the matter and
energy that space
contains. It even includes
time itself and, of course,
it includes you
.
Earth and the Moon are part of the
universe, as are the other planets
and their many dozens of moons.
Along with asteroids and comets,
the planets orbit the Sun. The Sun
is one among hundreds of billions
of stars in the Milky Way galaxy,
and most of those stars have their
own planets, known as exoplanets.
MILKY WAY
GALAXY
Our Sun (a star) and all the planets around
it are part of a galaxy known as the Milky
Way Galaxy. A galaxy is a large group of
stars, gas, and dust bound together by
gravity. They come in a variety of shapes
and sizes. The Milky Way is a large barred
spiral galaxy. All the stars we see in the
night sky are in our own Milky Way Galaxy.
Our galaxy is called the Milky Way because
it appears as a milky band of light in the
sky when you see it in a really dark area.
It is very difficult to count
the number of stars in the
Milky Way from our position
inside the galaxy. Our best
estimates tell us that the
Milky Way is made up of
approximately 100 billion

Earth, our home planet, is a world unlike
any other. The third planet from the sun,
Earth is the only place in the known
universe confirmed to host life.
With a radius of 3,959 miles, Earth is the
fifth largest planet in our solar system, and
it's the only one known for sure to have
liquid water on its surface.
Earth is also unique. Every other
solar system planet was named for
a Greek or Roman deity, but for at
least a thousand years, some
cultures have described our world
using the Germanic word “earth,”
which means simply “the ground.”
 Our dance around the sun
Earth orbits the sun once every
365.25 days. Since our calendar
years have only 365 days, we add
an extra leap day every four years
to account for the difference.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun – a
dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin
atmosphere. Mars is also a dynamic planet
with seasons, polar ice caps, canyons,
extinct volcanoes, and evidence that it was
even more active in the past.
Mars is a cold desert world. It is half the size
of Earth. Mars is sometimes called the Red
Planet. It's red because of rusty iron in the
ground. Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar
ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather. It
has a very thin atmosphere made of carbon
dioxide, nitrogen, and argon.
There are signs of ancient floods
on Mars, but now water mostly
exists in icy dirt and thin clouds.
THE
SUN
 The sun is the center of the solar
system , not the universe because it is
densest object in the solar system. it
is the largest object and the most
massive in the solar system.

All the objects in the solar system

revolve around the sun.

The Sun is also the nearest star in our

planet, the Earth.
STRUCTURE OF THE SUN

The heart of the Sun

-it powers the sun
- it produce heat and light
 is the region in which
energy produced in the
core radiates toward the
surface of the Sun.
the energy waves, which is
weakened by their passage
through the radiative zone,
pass through this region
via constantly churning
convection currents.
Also known as the
“surface” of the
Sun. Its
temperature vary
from 4,500-9,000
 a thin gases rising about
9,800 km ( 6,100 miles)
above surfce of the sun or
the Photosphere
 The outer portion of the
sun’s atmosphere which is
also thinly dispersed ball
gas. its temperatures up to
4 million degree celsius.
