Small Rocky Planets

Made up of mostly rock and metal.


Very heavy
More slowly in space
 They have no rings, and few moons.

Earth
Venus Mars
Mercury Pluto
Mercury
Mercury is the smallest and
innermost planet in the Solar
System. Its orbit around the sun
takes only 87.97 days, the
shortest of all the planets in the
Solar System.

Go back!
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It
named after the Roman goddess and live and
beauty. As the second brightest natural object
in the night sky after the moon, venus can cast
shadows and rarely is visible to the naked eye
in board daylight.

Go Back!
Earth
Earth is the third planet from the
sun and the only astronomical
object known to harbour life.
According to radiometric dating
and other sources of evidence .

Go Back!
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from
the sun and the second
smallest planet in the slar
system after mercury.

Go Back!
Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper
belt, a ring of bodies beyond the orbit
of Neptune. It was the first Kuiper belt
object to be discovered and is the
largest known plutoid. Pluto was
discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930.

Go Back!
Gas Giants
Made up of mostly of gases.
Very light for their size.
Move quickly in space.
They have rings and many moons.

Saturn Uranus
Jupiter Neptune
Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the
sun and the largest planet in the
Solar System. It is a gas giant with a
half times that of all the other planets
in the Solar System combined.

Go Back!
Saturn
Saturn is the sixth planet from the
Sun and the second the largest in
the Solar System, after Jupiter. It
is a gas giant with an average
radius about nine times that of
Earth.

Go Back!
Uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun.
It has the third largest planetary radius
and fourth largest planetary mass in the
Solar System. Uranus is similar in
composition to Neptune, and have bulk
chemical compositions which differ from
that f the larger gas giants Jupiter and
Saturn

Go back!
Neptune
Neptune is the eighth and farthest
known planet from the sun in the
Solar System. In the Solar System, It
is the fourth largest planet by
diameter, the third must massive
planet, and the densest giant planet.

Meteors Comets Asteroid Moon


Sun
Sun
The Sun is by far the largest object in the solar
system. It contains more than 99.8% of the total
mass of the Solar System (Jupiter contains most
of the rest).It is often said that the Sun is an
“ordinary” star. That’s true in the sense that
there are many others similar to it.

Go Back!
Meteors
A meteor, known colloquially as a
shooting star or falling star , is the
visible passage of a glowing meteoroid,
micrometeoroid, comet or asteroid
through Earth's atmosphere.

Go Back!
Comets
A comet is an icy, small Solar
System body that, when passing
close to the Sun, warms and
begins to release gases, a process
called outgassing.

Go Back!
Asteroids

Asteroids are small, airless rocky


worlds that revolve around the sun
and are too small to be called
planets.

Go Back!
Moon
The Moon is an astronomical body that
orbits the Earth as its only permanent
natural satellite. It is the fifth-largest
satellite in the Solar System, and the
largest among planetary satellites relative
to the size of the planet that it orbits (its
primary).

Go Back!
Dwarf Planets
a celestial body resembling a small planet but
lacking certain technical criteria that are
required for it to be classed as such.

Make Make Ceres


Eris Haumea
Eris
Eris is the most massive and second-
largest dwarf planet known in the Solar
System. Eris was discovered in January
2005 by a Palomar Observatory-based
team led by Mike Brown, and its
discovery was verified later that year.

Go Back!
Make Make
Makemake is a likely dwarf planet
and perhaps the second largest
Kuiper belt object in the classical
population, with a diameter
approximately two-thirds that of
Pluto.

Go Back!
Ceres
Ceres is the largest object in the main
asteroid belt that lies between the orbits
of Mars and Jupiter. With a diameter of
945 km, Ceres is both the largest of the
asteroids and the only unambiguous
dwarf planet inside Neptune's orbit.

Go Back!
Haumea
Haumea is a possible dwarf planet
located beyond Neptune's orbit. It was
discovered in 2004 by a team headed
by Mike Brown of Caltech at the
Palomar Observatory in the United
States
