Solar System

QuestionAnswer
Belongs to the Milky-way Galaxy. It includes the Sun, and the planets and space debris that are held by the Sun’s gravity Solar System
Using the Radiometric Dating, we can calculate the age of the solar system at about 4.56 billion years.
(earthlike), inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars Terrestrial / Inner planet
(Jupiter-like), Gas Giants, Outer Planets planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Jovian / Outer Planet
Planets revolve around The sun
Planets rotate within their axis
Planets Revolve around the sun
Planets Revolve around the sun in imaginary lines known as orbits.
these planets have orbits near the sun Inferior Planets
these planets have their orbits around the sun which lie beyond that of Earth Superior Planets
-the motion of the planets were explained scientifically and mathematically by 2 well-known scientists: Johannes Kepler and Isaac Newton
orbits of the planets are elliptical and the Sun which it at the center is the focus of the ellipse Law of Orbits
The planets move in different rates. They move faster when near the Sun and slower when further away Law of Area
the relationship of orbital periods to orbital size where the solar distances can be calculated Law of Periods
counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. Prograde
clockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. Retrograde
Objects executing motion around a point possess a quantity called angular momentum.
sometimes called minor planets, are small rocky worlds which orbit the sun in a belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. They are irregular in shape and have craters. Asteroids
Have icy nucleus, which evaporates and gets blown into space by solar wind pressure. Comets
Small dust grains throughout the solar system Meteoroids
Where do you think is the mass of the Solar System concentrated? At the center (SUN)
How will you describe the shape of the orbit of the planets? * Orbits are elliptical.
Where do planets revolve around? How do they move, clockwise or counter clockwise? • Planets revolve around the SUN and are on the same plane. • Most planets rotate prograde.
Do all planets revolve at the same rate? rotate at the same rate? No. Innermost planets revolve faster. • Innermost planets rotate slower.
5. What’s the difference between prograde and retrograde? Prograde - counterclockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole. Retrograde - clockwise when viewed from above the Earth's North Pole.
