    The document discusses the Earth, the Moon, stars, constellations, galaxies, and planets in our solar system. It provides details on the Moon's orbit around Earth and phases. It describes stars of different temperatures and sizes. Constellations are groups of stars that form imaginary shapes, and galaxies contain billions of stars and dark matter held together by gravity. Our solar system's planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

    UNIT - 1

    THE EARTH AND THE SOLAR


    SYSTEM
    The Earth
    The Earth and The Moon
    the earth is tilted on its axis

    • The moon is about four times


    smaller than the earth
    • It’s the earth’s only natural
    satellite
    • The moon orbits the earth
    and takes about 28 days and
    the same time to complete
    one rotation
    • The moons gravity is too
    weak to to have atmosphere
    • The moon receives sunlight
    from sun and gives some to
    the earth
    • We can only see the
    illuminating part facing the
    earth
    Although half of the Moon is always illuminated. We can only see
    the illuminated part facing the earth. This is why when we look at
    the moon at every night during the lunar month, its shape changes.
    The different shapes are called phases of moon.
    Stars ,Constellations and Galaxies
    • The luminosity of the star is spread out over
    the much larger surface area of the red giant
    and so they're cooler, On the opposite side of
    the spectrum are blue stars. These
    are stars with many times the mass of the
    Sun and so their surface temperatures are
    much hotter
    • A constellation is a group of stars that make
    an imaginary shape in the night sky. They are
    usually named after mythological characters,
    people, animals and objects. In different parts
    of the world, people have made up different
    shapes out of the same groups of bright stars.
    It is like a game of connecting the dots.
    • Galaxies. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, is
    typical: it has hundreds of billions of stars,
    enough gas and dust to make billions
    more stars, and at least ten times as much
    dark matter as all the stars and gas put
    together. And it's all held together by gravity.
    Galaxies
    1. Our Solar System is
    a part of a spiral
    galaxy called the
    Milky way
    2. Elliptical galaxies
    can be round or oval
    in shape
    3. Irregular galaxies
    have no real shapes.
    Planets in the Solar System
    • Our solar system consists of eight planets which all orbit
    around our home star, the Sun. The solar system was formed
    a crazy 4.6 billion years ago.
    ...
    These eight planets are:
    • Mercury.
    • Venus.
    • Earth.
    • Mars.
    • Jupiter.
    • Saturn.
    • Uranus.
    • Neptune.
