The solar system is estimated to be about five million years old and there are many theories on how the solar system was formed. Planets Mercury Mercury is the closest planet to the sun at 57.9 million km. Unlike Earth, which has one orbiting satellite, Mercury does not have any known satellites. The core of Mercury is a large dense iron core. The surface is lunarlike and contains craters from earlier collisions of asteroids. Mercury takes approximately 58.7 days to rotate about its axis. Venus Venus is the second planet from the sun at 108.2 million km. It also has no known satellites. Its atmosphere’s primary gas is carbon dioxide. A thick cloud layer made mostly of sulfuric acid covers the surface. Venus takes approximately 243 days to rotate about its axis. Earth Earth is the third planet from the sun at 150 million km and the only known planet that contains life. It has one orbiting satellite called the moon. The inner core is believed to be solid with a liquid outer core. The surrounding atmosphere is made up mostly of Oxygen and Nitrogen. The Earth takes 24 hours to rotate about its axis. Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at 227.9 million km. The surface contains many different features including volcanoes and channels many miles wide and hundreds of miles long. The atmosphere is composed mostly of carbon dioxide. Mars takes 24.6 hours to rotate about its axis. Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun at 778.3 million km and is the largest planet in our solar system. It has 16 known satellites. Jupiter has a rocky core about the size of Earth, which is surrounded by liquid hydrogen ocean. It takes 9.8 hours to rotate about its axis. Saturn Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun at 1.427 billion km. It has at least 18 known satellites and believed to have more. Saturn is most known for its ring system orbiting the planet. The atmosphere is made up primarily of hydrogen and helium. Saturn takes 10.665 hours to rotate about its axis. Uranus Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun at 2.8696 billion km. It has 15 known satellites. It has a solid core with an atmosphere composed primarily of hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia. Uranus takes 17.24 hours to rotate about its axis. Neptune Neptune is the eighth planet from the sun at 4.4966 billion km. Triton and Nereid were the only two known satellites until a space probed discovered six smaller moons. It has a solid core with an atmosphere composed primarily of hydrogen, helium, methane, and ammonia. Neptune takes 16 hours to rotate about its axis. Pluto Pluto is the ninth planet from the sun at 5.9 billion km. It has one known satellite named Charon. The surface is composed primarily of frozen nitrogen. Pluto takes 6.4 days to rotate about its axis. Objects Meteoroids Meteoroids are sold objects orbiting the sun. If you have seen a shooting star, you have seen a meteoroid breaking through the Earth’s atmosphere. Comets A comet is composed of an ice core surrounded by particles and gas. As a comet gets closer to the sun, the gases and ice form a cloud around the icy core and form a tail that we can see from the Earth. Comets orbit the sun. The orbit can take a short time or a long time and the comet sometimes crashes into the sun. One famous comet is Halley’s comet. Halley’s comet was last seen from the Earth in 1986. Stars The sun is the star in our solar system. At night, thousands of stars are visible. Some of these stars are brighter than others. The brightness of stars depends on its size, temperature, and distance from the Earth. A star’s magnitude is the measure of its brightness. Stars can be divided into six categories based on their magnitude. At the heart of stars is nuclear energy that generates light and heat. Stars are simply gases held together by gravity. The gas is primarily hydrogen. Conclusion Through observation and space exploration we have learned much about our solar system. However, there is a lot that we do not know. Advances in technology allow us to learn more about our solar system and the objects in it more each day. !рџџџџМGMMdрџџџџМGMMdhџџџџМGMMd!hџџџџМGMMduxШџџМGMMd!џџџџp(xK–dћџаdџџdџџџџџџ@ (xK–dћџаdџџdџџџџџџ(xK–dћџаdџџdџџџџџџа(xK–dћџаdџџdџџuџџџџ(xK–dћџаdџџdџџЙ@џџџџџџ@џџРџџ%џџ%џџџџ @џџ0џџ0џџ*€џџ*(џџ(џџ.@@џџ.1@]џџ1џџ/€]џџ/џџџџ@€aџџ$<€Ёџџ$РЁџџ@Єџџ€Ѕџџ MРЅџџ ЙРЊџџ €Лџџ @Мџџ Оџџ Root Entryџџџџџџџџ€фЎСFэНўџџџPageMakerџџџџџџџџФObjectPoolџџџџџџџџр‰|СFэН€фЎСFэНHyperContentџџџџџџџџр‰|СFэН€фЎСFэНџџџџџџџџўџџџ  !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_`abcdўџџџ§џџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ™  X™РСРС30РОџџ0РО№РЊRA%MP2xј™Ў6šNј™ x88 88 hL и  kZ 4™&@а є} @а Pd Є0  @аР@ L ає & ^U N в& &в4 ’   $о7 MS  B@ & >  ;Ž G3Ld№ 26 kZ 3L № Ђ1 @а @  @ ќ  @} .­+@аTќ$"Tќ$џџџџѕџџџџџџ/Б Јџџџџџџџџџџџџџџ 0ас№са/№€€ўўHP LaserJet 4/4M PostScriptHP LaserJet 4/4M PostScriptLPT1:  @@№xџџџџМGMMdџџџџ(xK–dћџаdџџdџџ№№№№Contents^tIndex ,^>;^>^=.^> ,C:\PM65\RSRC\USENGLSH:\PM65\RSRC\USENGLSH\PM65.HLPdAааddшhдHх`њИ Hх˜+И№№№№№№ dМяш№bј Єс№ ..--__ќџфџџЎџџ жђ№№hд`њ ˜+
