+WALT (What Am I Learn To)
To know what the solar system consist of
+CELESTIAL OBJECTS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
What is celestial objects?
A natural object which is located outside of Earth’s atmosphere.
+CELESTIAL OBJECTS IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
Some Celestial Objects in Our Solar System:
Planets: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Star: Sun
+Celestial Objects in Our
Solar Systemand their characteristics

How long one year: 224.7 days
Rings: none
+Mars
How big across: 6,800 km
Color: Red - Orange
Temperature: On average, the temperature on Mars is about minus 80 degrees F (minus 60 degrees C). In winter, near the poles
temperatures can get down to minus 195 degrees F (minus 125 degrees C).
A summer day on Mars may get up to 70 degrees F (20 degrees C) near the equator, but at night the temperature can plummet to about minus 100 degrees F (minus 73 C).
Mass: 639E21 kg (0.107 Earth mass)
Gravity: 3.711 m/s²
Distance from the sun: 227.8 million km
Atmosphere: 96% carbon dioxide and almost 4% nitrogen.
Moons: no moons
How long one rotation: 24.5 hours
How long one year: 687 days
Rings: none
+Jupiter
How big across: 142,800 km
Color: Orange and White bands
Temperature: at the upper edge of the cloud cover, it is 145 degrees C
Mass: 1.898E27 kg (317.8 Earth mass)
Gravity: 24.79 m/s²
Distance from the sun: 778 million km
Atmosphere: It is mostly made of molecular hydrogen and helium in roughly solar proportions; other chemical compounds are present only in small amounts and including methane, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide and water.
Moons: at least 16 moons
How long one rotation: 9.8 hours
How long one year: 12 Earth years
Rings: 2 rings
+Saturn
How big across: 120,660 km
Color: Pale Yellow
Temperature: average temperature of minus 288 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 178 degrees Celsius)
Mass: 568.3E24 kg (95.16 Earth mass)
Gravity: 10.44 m/s²
Distance from the sun: 1,427 million km
Atmosphere: Like the rest of the planet, the atmosphere of Saturn is made up approximately 75% hydrogen and 25% helium, with trace amounts of other substances like water ice and methane.
Moons: at least 17 moons
How long one rotation: 10.7 hours
How long one year: 29.5 Earth years
Rings: 12 rings
+Uranus
How big across: 52,400 km
Color: Light Blue
Temperature: average temperature of cloud tops in Uranus is 224 °C
Gravity: 86.81E24 kg (14.54 Earth mass)
Gravity: 8.69 m/s²
Distance from the sun: 2,870 million km
Atmosphere: Uranus and Neptune have similar atmospheres. Their atmospheres are mostly hydrogen and helium, they have a higher proportion of ices, like water, ammonia and methane. This is why astronomers call Uranus and Neptune “ice giants”.
Moons: at least 15 moons
How long one rotation: 17 hours
How long one year: 84 Earth years
Rings: 10 rings
+Neptune
How big across: 49,560 km
Color: Light Blue
Temperature:
Mass: 102.4E24 kg (17.15 Earth mass)
Gravity: 11.15 m/s²
Distance from the sun: 5,900 million km
Atmosphere: Uranus and Neptune have similar atmospheres. Their atmospheres are mostly hydrogen and helium, they have a higher proportion of ices, like water, ammonia and methane. This is why astronomers call Uranus and Neptune “ice giants”.
Moons: 8 moons
How long one rotation: 16 hours
How long one year: 165 Earth years
Rings: 4 rings

CONTAINS 78.09%NITROGEN,20.95% OXYGEN, 0.93% ARGON,0.039% CARBON DIOXIDE AND SMALL AMOUNTS OF OTHER GASS. OUR AIR ALSO CONTAINS A VARIABLE AMOUNT OF WATER VAPOR ON AVERAGE AROUND 1%
THE ATMOSPHERE ALMOST ENTIRELY CONTAIN OF CARBON DIOXIDE WITH LESS
AMOUNT OF NITROGEN
MORE OXYGEN IN IT’S ATMOSPHERE
THE OXYGEN LESS OXYGEN IN IT’S ATMOSPHERE
RAINS ACCORDING TO THE PLACE/AREA ON EARTH AND SEASON, HAVE WATER VAPOUR IN IT’S ATMOSPHERE
THE WATER HAVE WATER VAPOR IN IT’S AIR BUT SCIENTISTS NOT SURE IF IT
EVER RAINED
LOTS OF ANIMALS & PLANTS LIVING THINGS NO LIVING THINGS
+THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN EARTH AND MARS
Both have no rings
Both have oxygen
Both have moon
Both atmosphere contains carbon dioxide and water vapor, also nitrogen
+WHY EARTH IS THE BEST PLANET TO SUSTAIN HUMAN LIFE
Earth is bigger compared to Mars, which means more room for more people.
Earth has lots of living things and it helps human a lot because human needs food and we can eat living things like vegetables and especially animals. Earth has some seasons and effects the ecosystem for the plants and animals.
We have plenty of water on Earth and it helps us do daily things like showering and cooking. Water has many influences in our life. It helps us sustain the plants and animals.
