What is Solar System

The Sun, its planets and all the objects moving around them collectively are called Solar System. The Solar System is entirely dependent on Sun & the only one which is self- luminous i.e which has its own light. Rest of the planets reflect the light received from Sun

Sun Star of the Solar System

It s the heaviest among solar system It is a ball of hot ,burning gases. It is the nearest star to the earth. The light from the Sun takes appx. 8 minutes to reach Earth.

Sun Star of the Solar System

It is the source of all energy for life on Earth. About three quarters of the Sun's mass consists of hydrogen, while the rest is mostly helium. On the Suns surface ,there are dark patches known as sunspots. These are patches of gas that looks dark since they are cooler than their surroundings.

Planets
Planet word comes from Greek ,which means wandering star. Planets are heavenly bodies ,which revolve around the Sun in elliptical orbits. Earlier it was considered there were 9 planets in Solar system but lately one planet called Pluto was de-classified from being a planet. All planets fall in 2 groups Inner Planets: Mercury , Venus, Mars and Earth are called inner planets. Outer Planets: These are Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

 Between Inner & Outer Planets ,there is a ring of small bodies , which are made of rock & metal, these are called Asteroids. They also keep moving around the Sun .This ring is also called Asteroids Belt.

Mercury The Innermost Planet

It is also the smallest, and its orbit is the most not fully circular. It does not have any satellite. There is no water or atmosphere It can be seen with naked eyes. It orbits the Sun once in about 88 Earth days There are no seasons on its surface

Venus The Veiled Planet

Venus is surrounded by thick cloud cover ,that is why it is called Veiled Planet. It is brightest & hottest planet. It is named after Roman goddess of love & beauty .

Venus The Veiled Planet

It orbits the Sun once in about 225 Earth days. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, so it is also known as the Morning Star or Evening Star. Venus is also known as Sister or Twin planet to earth because of its similar size & mass to earth.

Earth

Earth The Blue Planet

It is also known as watery planet, because 70% of its surface is covered by water. It reflects about 1/3rd of sunlight it receives .The earths atmosphere scatters the light & creates a blue effectn,so it is also called Blue Planet.. Only planet having life .

Earth The Blue Planet

It orbits the Sun once in about 365 Earth days. It rotates about its own axis, thus creating day & night. It takes 24 hours to do that. It revolves around sun, due to its tilt ,seasons are created. Due to gravity, the layer of gases remain attached to it (which is known as atmosphere), it prevents too much heat or UV rays from Sun reaching earth. Moon is the only satellite of the Earth.

Moon
Not a Planet but the only satellite of the Earth

www.makemegenius.com Free Science Videos for Kids

Moon The Earths Only Satellite

Its diameter of only 1/4th of the Earth It looks bigger to us as it is very close to us. The moon has no atmosphere ,so there is huge difference between day & night temperature. (127 degree C in Day to 173 degree C in Night)

Moon The Earths Only Satellite

As there is no atmosphere, there is no weather, no rain, no wind or clouds. Like everything else in Solar System, Moon also does not have its own light . It shines due to Suns light . There is no water on its surface. Moons gravity is 1/6th of Earth, so your weight would be 1/6th of your weight on the earth.

Moon The Earths Only Satellite

The Moon is the only celestial body other than Earth on which humans have set foot. Neil Armstrong became the first person to walk on the Moon as the commander of the American mission Apollo 11by first setting foot on the Moon on 21 July 1969.

Mars The Red Planet

Mars has approximately half the diameter of Earth It has two satellites. The gravity of Mars is half of the earth . The atmosphere of Mars consists of about 95% carbon dioxide, 3% nitrogen,1.6% argon and contains some oxygen and water Mars also has the largest dust storms in the Solar System
