Our Solar System lies on one of the outer arms of the Milky Way,
thirty thousand light years from its galactic centre. Our sun is an
average sized yellow star and is one of the millions throughout
the Galaxy. It is the central point of the nine planets in our Solar
System. Besides the planets, the Solar System holds countless
smaller bodies such as asteroids comets and meteoroids. The
Asteroid Belt orbits the sun in the space between Mars and Jupiter.
Most asteroids are are pebble sized but a few are larger than
cities. The Solar System is so large that light travelling at 300,000
kilometres per second takes half a day to cross from one side to
the other.
The surface of this planet is
rocky, covered in many places
with sand and big craters
made by meteorites. Mercury
is the closest planet to the Sun
and the highest temperature
ruling on it, excludes the
presence of the atmosphere.
Deserted Mercury is smothered
in impact craters. Because it
is so near to the sun it is a
geologically dead planet.
Mercury:
- Mean distance from the sun: 57,910,000 km
- length of year: 88 days
- the surface temperature: -183 ◦C to 427 ◦C
- the diameter: 4880 km
- atmosphere: Sodium, Helium, Oxygen

Survival is impossible on Venus. In
addition to its crushing winds and
poisonous atmosphere, it is the
hottest planet in the solar system.
Venus:
- The second planet of the solar arrangement going
from the sun
- Diameter: 12,100 km
- Atmosphere: Carbon dioxide, Nitrogen
- Similar size to the Earth
- Surface temperature 460 C, and in some places is
reaching even to 500 C
Length of year: 224.7 days

Earth is the third
planet from the
Sun, and the
densest and fifthlargest of the
eight planets in
the Solar System.
It is also the
largest of the
Solar System's
four terrestrial
planets. Earth is
the only planet
in the Solar
System capable of
supporting life. It
has land and
oceans, deserts
and ice caps.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the
second smallest planet in the Solar System. Named
after the Roman god of war. Mars is colder than
Earth, Mars’ surface is rocky red desert. Sometimes it
is reffered to as the „Red Planet” because the rocks
are coloured by rust. Even the sky on Mars is pink.
 Diameter: 6,786 km
 Length of year: 687 days
 Atmosphere: Carbon

Oxygen, Carbon Monoxide
 Mean distance from the sun:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the
Sun and the largest planet in the
Solar System. Jupiter is the giant of
the Solar System. The Earth could
fit into it 1,300 times. Its great red
spot is a storm that has been
raging for many years. The gases
ate 1,000 kilometres thick. It is
classified as a gas giant along
with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

A planet composed of materials less
dense than water. If there was an ocean
large enough. Saturn would be able to
float on it. It’s rings are made of rock
and ice and are as broad as the
distance between the Earth and moon.

Circled by nine rings

Uranus spins in a
vertical manner. It’s
colour is dictated by

Similar in composition to Uranus, a bizarre
ring system was recently discovered made of
dust particles. Neptune also has a great dark
spot, a continously raging storm. A year here
lasts 165 Earth years.

It’s about the size of the Earth’s moon
and it’s composed of rock and ice. The
Sun is merely an intense point of light in
Pluto’s sky, therefore Pluto recelves little
warmth.
