Sun

The Sun is a star that is in the center of the Solar System

The Sun is recognized as having the largest mass in our Solar System.

It has a diameter of about 1,392,684 km, about 109 times that of Earth

The sun is the closest star to Earth, at a mean distance from our planet of 149.60

million km

Sun fuses 620 million metric tons of hydrogen each second.

At the core, the temperature is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit (15 million

degrees Celsius)

In February 1974, Skylab was the first manned spacecraft to study the Sun.

Solar flares occur when magnetic fields of the Sun come together and cause
huge explosions on the Suns surface.

Solar flares produce bursts of electromagnetic radiation, x-rays, ultraviolet radiation,

visible light, and radio waves.

Mercury

Mercury is the closest and second smallest in the Solar System.

Mercury is the second densest planet after Earth.

The only visit to Mercury was a flyby made by the Mariner 10 spacecraft in 1974.

Mercury speeds around the sun every 88 days, traveling through space at nearly 50

km (31 miles) per second

Galileo first observed Mercury during the 17th century.

Venus

Venus is the second closest and sixth largest planet in the Solar System

The orbital speed of Venus is 35 km per second.

Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System.

Venus appears to be the brightest planet in the sky.

It takes 244.7 days for Venus to rotate on its axis.

The first robotic space probe mission to Venus, and the first to any planet, began on

12 February 1961, with the launch of the Venera 1 probe.

Earth

Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago, and life appeared on its surface

within one billion years.

The Earth is the densest planet in the Solar System.

Earth is the fifth largest planet in the Solar System.

The Diameter of the Earth is 12,756 km (7,926 miles)

The earths orbital speed is 29.8 km per second.

Earth atmosphere consists of 78 percent nitrogen, 21 percent oxygen and 1 percent

other ingredients..

Earth rotates about its own axis 366.26 times, creating 365.26 solar days

Moon

The Moon is Earths lone natural satellite.

In 1610, Galileo Galilei is the first to use a telescope to make scientific observations of
the Moon.

The Moon is the fifth largest satellite in our Solar System.

The Moons diameter is 2160 miles (3476 km)

Average distance between the Earth and the Moon is about 239,000 miles. Actual
distance varies from 221,457 to 252,712 miles.

The Moons gravity is 1/6 that of Earth.

The Moon does not have an atmosphere; there is no wind on the Moon.

Apollo 11 was the American space mission to first reach and land on the moon.

The first human landing on the Moon was on 20 July 1969.

The Moon orbits around the Earth every 29 days.

Mars

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar

System.

iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance, often described as

Red Planet

A Mars year is equal to 686.98 Earth Days

A day in Mars is equal to 24.6 Earth Hours

Like Earth, Mars experiences seasons because of the tilt of its rotational axis

Asaph Hall discovered both of Mars moons, Phobos and Deimos, in August 1877.

Mariner 4 first successful flyby mission to Mars. Launched on November 28, 1964

and arrived at Mars on July 14, 1965.

Viking 1 Successful orbit and landing on surface of Mars. Launched August 20, 1975

and arrived at Mars July 20, 1976.

Jupitar

Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, is 318 times larger than Earth.

The orbital speed of Jupiter is 13.1 km/sec

A year on Jupiter is equal to 11.9 Earth Years

Jupiter has 67 natural satellites.[105] Of these, 51 are less than 10 kilometres in

diameter and have only been discovered since 1975.

Galileo Galilei had discovered Jupiter's four largest moons, now called Io, Europa,

Ganymede, and Callisto. These four moons are known today as the Galilean satellites.

In 1610, Galileo Galilei makes the first detailed observations of Jupiter.

Jupiter's moon Ganymede is the biggest satellite in solar system

Jupiter has rings, the third planet discovered to have a ring system in our Solar
System.

Jupiters rings are identified as: Halo ring, Main ring, Amalthea gossamer ring, and
Thebe gossamer ring.

Jupiters rings were discovered by Voyager 1 in 1979.

Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest.

Saturn has 62 known moons, fifty-three have been named. Most of them are small in
size.

Names of some of Saturns moons: the largest is Titan, discovered in 1655; Tethys,

Dione, Rhea, & Iapetus, discovered from 1671 to 1672; Mimas & Enceladus, discovered in
1789; and Hyperion, discovered in 1848.

A year on Saturn is equal to 29.5 Earth Years

Pioneer 11 is the first spacecraft to reach Saturn, in 1979

Saturn has a prominent ring system that consists of nine continuous main rings and

three discontinuous arcs, composed mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky
debris and dust.

Uranus

The orbital speed of Uranus is 6.6 km/sec

Uranus takes 84 Earth years to complete one orbit.

Uranus is the third largest planet in the Solar System.

Voyager 2, the only spacecraft to visit Uranus,

A day on Uranus is equal to a little more than 17 hours on Earth.

Uranus has 27 known moons, named for characters from the works of William

Shakespeare or Alexander Pope

Uranus was discovered by Sir William Herschel in 1781

Neptune

Neptune is the fourth largest planet and coolest planet in the Solar System.

Neptune was the first planet located through mathematical predictions rather than

through regular observations of the sky.

Neptune was discovered by Urbain Le Verrier, John Couch Adams, and Johann Galle

on September 23, 1846.

The only spacecraft ever to visit Neptune was Voyager 2 in 1989.

The magnetic field of Neptune is about 27 times more powerful than that of Earth.

One Neptune year is equal to 164.83 Earth Years

Neptune has six known rings.

In 2011, Neptune completes its first 165-year orbit of the sun since its discovery in

1846.

Neptune has 13 moons, the largest of which is named Triton. The other moons are:

Naiad, Thalassa, Despina, Galatea, Larissa, Proteus, Nereid, Halimede, Sao, Laomedeia,
Neso, and Psamathe.

Pluto

Pluto is the smallest planet in the Solar System, now consider as dwarf planet

Pluto is colder than Neptune.

Plutos journey around the Sun takes 248 Earth years.

Pluto is the second most contrast body in the Solar System

Pluto has not yet been visited by a spacecraft.

Pluto has a satellite, Charon, which was discovered (in 1978). The distance between

them is 19,640 km (12,200 miles).The other 3 are Nix,Hydra, and newly discovered S/2011
P 1 on July of 2011.

Pluto rotation (a Pluto day) takes 6.4 Earth days, meaning that it has the second

slowest rotation in the Solar System after Venus

Pluto was discovered by Tombaugh in 1930
