The Sun is a Hot star

The Sun is the center of the Solar system, a yellow dwarf star that 4.5 billion years old all planets orbit the Sun, but it is radioactive and extremely hot.

Page 3: Our Solar System

Mercury's hot too! Mercury is the first

planet from the sun, the planet can be likening to a target that has been shot at too many times, the planet during the its day which nearly lasts longer then its year is over 700 degrees farinhieght but at night it is cold enough to freeze Liquid nitrogen.

Page 4: Our Solar System

Venus is the Hottest planet

Venus is Earth’s closest neighbor and its evil twin, the planet is volcanic and volatile. Acid rain, Volcanoes, caustic air, and deadly radiation and plasma storms are the weather on the planet , the planet Venus is also the only world that spins backwards, its day is also longer then its year and it has no moons

Earth is home to me and you

The third rock from the Sun, Earth is home to life, Earth is situated in a goldilocks zone the right place for life, it is also the only planet aside from Pluto to have a moon propionate to its size

Page 6: Our Solar System

Mars is the Red one The Forth rock from the

sun, Mars is a barren desert world, it is made of Iron oxide or rust which gives it the red color, Mars also has two moons Deimos and Phobos named after the sons of the God of War for which the red planet is named, it can also be terraformed

Ceres, Pallos, Vesta and Juno are asteriods

The four large asteroids were discovered in the 1800s and thought to be planets, but more powerful telescopes revealed the entire belt soon they lost planet status but Ceres the largest of the four is a now a dwarf planet but there is talk of giving the others that status

Jupiter is most wide The largest planet in the

solar system, Jupiter is an essential big brother on the systems scale, gobbling up comets and asteroids that would otherwise cause mass-extinction. Jupiter has the most moons at 63, it also has the shortest day but it produces more radiation then it receives, Jupiter is most famous for its big red spot, the largest of its many storm systems,

Saturn’s got those icy rings

Saturn is the second of the giant planets, it is well known for its rings, they are the most elaborate of all the ring systems, though all gas giants save Jupiter have them. The Planet like Jupiter has an elaborate moon system, and possibly a bigger one.

Page 10: Our Solar System

Uranus spins on its side Uranus is the most active

of the gas giants which is still busy forming. Like Saturn it possesses rings and many moons, the moon system is like a bowling alley though as many collide with each other giving the planet its rings, the planet is at first glance a featureless green ball in space, but it possesses a strange orbit do to the tug of its twin.

Neptune is very windy The twin of Uranus, Neptune

is as active as its brother even more so, the world was named after the god of the sea and its blue color complements that name, Neptune possesses smaller rings and fewer moons then the other gas giants but like Jupiter it has a famous storm, the great dark spot. The largest moon Triton posses ice volcanoes caused by a tug of war with the planet it orbits and may one day be pulled apart

Pluto, Eris, and their fellow Plutoids

Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Makemake and Haumea are what are called dwarf-planets, the current dispute has resulted in the fact that any dwarf planet is a planet by the opposed methods to define one, director Alan Stern who is in charge of probes to these worlds considers them as extra planets, though IAU say otherwise, also shown are potential dwarf planets and these are Vesta, Palos, Sedna, Juno, Ixion, Veruna, Quaoar, Orcus, Iblemule, and 2002 tc 302
