OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

BY: KENDALL COUEY

A JOURNEY THROUGH SPACE

THE INNER PLANETSFIRST ARE THE 4 INNER PLANETS MERCURY, VENUS, EARTH, AND MARS! THESE ARE THE PLANETS CLOSEST TO THE SUN.

MERCURY: THE CLOSEST PLANET TO THE SUN IS ALSO THE SECOND HOTTEST PLANTET, PLUS MERCURY IS THE MOST CRATERED PLANET!

VENUS: THE SECOND

CLOSEST TO THE SUN

IS ALSO THE SECOND

BRIGHTEST THING IN

THE NIGHT SKY, PLUS

VENUS IS OFTEN CALLES EARTHS SISTER

PLANET.

EARTH: THE THIRD

CLOSEST TO THE

SUN IS ALSO THE

ONLY PLANET THAT

HAS HUMAN LIVING

ON IT.

MARS: THE FOURTH

CLOSEST ALSO

OUTSHINES THE

OTHER PLANETS

APART FROM VENUS,

IT ALSO HAS POLES

COVERED IN ICE.

THE OUTER PLANETSTHESE ARE THE OUTER PLANETS WHICH ARE FARTHER AWAY FROM THE SUN.

JUPITAR: THE

BIGGEST

PLANET IN OUR

SOLAR

SYSTEM, HAS A

BIG RED SPOT

THAT YOU

COULD FIT 100

EARTHS IN IT.

SATURN: THE PLANET WITH THE MOST VISIBLE RINGS, IS A GIANT BALL OF GAS IT DOES NOT HAVE A SOLID INNER CORE

URANUS: HAS 2

SETS OF RINGS 9

INNER RINGS

AND 2 OUTER

RINGS,

NEPTUNE: HAS A SEA BLUE COLOR DUE TO THE METHANE GAS ATMOSPHERE, ALSO NEPTUNE USED TO HAVE A DARK SPOT LIKE JUPITER.

EARTHS SURFACEPART OF EARTHS SURFACE IS COVERED WITH 70% WATER, AND THE OTHER 30% IS LAND.EARTH HAS MANY DIFFERENT OCEANS ONE OF WHICH IS THE PACIFIC AND IT’S THE BIGGEST OCEAN, THE SMALLEST IS THE ARTIC. SOMETHING ELSE THAT IS A MAIN THING ON EARTH IS ALL ITS PHYSICAL FEATURES INCLUDING MOUNTAINS, VALLEYS, OCEANS, RIVERS, LAKES, AND SEAS. THE TEMPTURE ON EARTHS SURFACE CAN VARY DUE TO THE WAY THE PLANET ROTATES, AND THAT FORMS THE SEASONS SUMMER, FALL WINTER AND SPRING.

EARTHS SURFACE UNDERNEATH

THE ROCKY LAYER UNDER THE SOIL IS TH CRUST, THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CRUST INCREASES AS YOU GO DEEPER INTO THE EARTH. THE TECTONIC PLATES FLOAT ON THE MOLTEN ASTHENOSPHERE. EARTHQUAKES, VOLCANOES, MOUNTAINS, AND OCEANIC TRENCH FORMATION OCCUR ALONG PLATE BOUNDARIES. THE PLATES ARE IN CONSTANT MOTION.

MARS SURFACE

MARS SURFACE IS VERY ROCKY AND DRY, THIS PLANET CONSISTS OF MOUNTAINS, ICE

CAPS, VALLEYS, CHANNELS, AND TRENCHES. THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN ON

MARS IS OLYMPUS MONS WHICH IS ROUGHLY 17 MILES HIGH. THE COLOR OF MARS LOOKS RED NECAUSE OF ITS RUSTY DUST. ALSO THE CRATERS ON MARS VARY

DEPENDING ON HOW OLD THE SURFACE IS.

MARS

SURFACE

THE SURFACE ON MARS IS THOUGHT TO BE MOSTLY BASALT, COVERED BY A LAYER IRON OXIDE DUST.

IRON OXIDE DUST GIVES THE PLANET ITS RED HUE. THE SURFACE IS ALSO DOTTED WITH IMPACT

CRATERS, MOST OF THEM ARE STILL IMTACT. THE ATMOSPHERE IS MUCH THINNER THAN EARTHS.

CURIOSITYCURIOSITY IS THE LARGEST ROVER TO BE

SENT TO MARS

MARS HAS FOUND MANY

THINGS SUCH AS WATER,

LIFE, THINGS

ABOUT THE SOIL, AND CRATERS

CURIOSITY’S MAIN MISSION IS TO

DETERMINE IF IS, OR WAS ABLE FOR

LIFE

HOW EARTH AND MARS ARE ALIKE

EARTH AND MARS ARE BOTH IN THE INNER PLANET SOLAR SYSTEM, THEY HAVE BOTH BEEN DISCOVERED WITH LIFE, THEY ARE

ALSO BOTH TERRESTRIAL PLANETS MADE UP OF ROCK AND METAL. BOTH HAVE SOLID

AND ROCKY SURFACES, PLUS WATER.

HOW EARTH AND MARS ARE DIFFERENT

MARS IS MUCH COLDER THAN EARTH, AND

HAS NO OCEANS AND SEAS. MARS I

HALF THE SIZE OF EARTH.

MARS IS RED.

EARTH HAS MANY SEAS

AND OCEANS, EARTH HAS

HUMANE BEINGS. EARTH IS

BIGGER, AND CLOSER TO THE SUN

Thanks for watching! Hope enjoyed
