  6. 2. The galaxy that Earth is in is called thea. Big Dipperb. universec. milky wayd. planetary zone c. milky way

  7. 7. From what materials did the solar system form?a. Dust and iceb. gas and dustc. magama and gasd. heat and light b. gas and dust

  8. 13. Earth’s only natural satellite is?a. The sunb. The solar systemc. earthd. the moon d. the moon

  9. 16. The planets and stars we see in the night sky all look like tiny points of light. However, the stars area. much farther from the Earth than the planetsb. much closer to Earth than the planetsc. just outside our solar system, whereas planets are insided. moving in and out of the solar system over time a. much farther from the Earth than the planets

  10. Our favorite Solar System

  11. A solar system is a star and everything that orbits the star

  12. Our sun is not the only star with planets: 146 planetary systems Upsilon Andromeda- very similar to ours 3 planets PSR B1620-26- solar system with two stars 1 planet

  13. . • Solar systems are small in space terms so they are measured using astronomical units • 1 AU = the distance from the Earth to the Sun

  14. Examples of using AU

  15. Everything in the solar system is much smaller than the sun

  16. The first 4 planets • Terrestrial planets

  17. Terrestrial planets are small compared to gas planets

  18. Terrestrial planets are made of rock

  19. Moons

  20. Outer planets Sometimes called gas giants

  21. Rings • Terrestrial planets have no rings • Though Saturn is famous for its rings all gas planets have them. Neptune Uranus

  22. Moons

  23. Asteroids • Asteroids are giant rocks orbiting the sun • They range in size from about the size of a classroom to the largest which is 580 miles long

  24. Asteroids • Most asteroids are in the Asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter

  25. Comets • Comets are made of ice, rock and dust • Comets have very elliptical orbits around the sun

  26. Comets • Comets have a tail when they are close to the sun because of the melting ice

  27. Main points • Solar systems are a star and what orbits around it • Solar systems are measured using A.U. • In our solar system we have: the sun gas planets terrestrial planets asteroids comets
