* * Our Solar System The Sun Our Sun is a medium-sized yellow star in the middle of its life cycle. Its the center of our Solar System and holds objects in orbit by gravitational pull. More than 1,000,000 Earths can fit inside the Sun. It’s fueled by nuclear fusion of small atoms to form larger ones, and it’s the only source of energy in the solar system. It has features: sun spots, solar flares, and prominences. Mercury Terrestrial planet with a solid rocky surface Covered with craters Extreme temperatures (from -170 oC up to 467 oC) Thin atmosphere so its temperatures vary by day and night Fastest planet to revolve around the Sun, thus named Mercury No moons … why not? Venus Terrestrial planet with a solid, rocky surface Earth’s “twin” in size Extremely hot temperatures (470 oC) due to thick atmospheric cloud cover and green house effect. Retrograde motion (it rotates clockwise) No moons … why not? Earth Terrestrial planet with a solid, rocky surface Frozen caps at North South Poles Capable of supporting life due to [C], 70% water, and protective atmosphere Seasons due to axis tilt 1 Moon: Luna where we have landed multiple times and sent more than 70 spacecraft Earth’s Moon “Luna” The moon acts like a mirror; it reflects sunlight to Earth Phases of the moon occur as the moon revolves around Earth and reflects sunlight. Tides -- high tide and low tide -- are caused by the moon’s gravitational pull Mars Terrestrial planet with a solid, rocky surface Red surface due to [Fe] Enormous active volcanoes and dust storms Thin atmosphere Frozen polar caps like Earth Liquid water once? 2 Moons: Phobos and Deimos Asteroids Made of rock, minerals, and rare elements More than 100,000 orbit in the “Asteroid Belt” between Mars and Jupiter Could collide with Earth, but probably won’t The largest asteroid named Ceres is a dwarf planet Moons: a few asteroids have moons! Meteors or “Shooting Stars” Pieces of rock that are falling toward Earth are meteors They glow br
