Solar System

 Hello everyone. We are from GP- 8 and let me introduce our members - MMNT, LNSM, CMK, and JJTZ. Today we are going to present
about the Solar System. So, let's get started.

 I am sure you all have heard of the solar system, so what is it? It consists of the Sun and everything that orbits or travels around the
Sun, including the eight planets and their moons, dwarf planets, countless asteroids, comets, and other small, icy objects. However,
even with all these things, most of the solar system is empty space. Now, moving on to the Sun, which plays an important role in the
solar system. The Sun is like the boss of our solar system. All the planets, like Earth, go around it. The Sun's pull keeps everything
together, from big planets to tiny pieces of rock. The Sun is really hot in its center, where it's super bright and reaches 15 million
degrees Celsius! The Sun is really heavy—it's like 19,891 followed by 26 zeros! Imagine, the Sun is a really old star, about 4.5 billion
years old! If you could stack up 1.3 million Earths, they would be the same size as the Sun. The Sun is very far away from Earth, about
93 million miles or 150 million kilometers!
• Ok , so Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and is known for its extreme temperatures. During the
day, its surface can get unbearably  hot, while at night, temperatures drop due to its lack of atmosphere.
It's a rocky planet, similar in composition to Earth's moon.

• Venus, often referred to as Earth's "sister planet," has a thick and toxic atmosphere primarily composed
of carbon dioxide. This creates a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar
system, even hotter than Mercury, despite being farther from the Sun. Venus has a surface covered in
volcanic plains and highland regions.

• Earth, our home planet, has a unique combination of features that support life as we know it. Its
atmosphere, composed mainly of nitrogen and oxygen, provides a protective shield and regulates the
planet's temperature. Earth's diverse landscapes, oceans, and abundant liquid water make it a haven for
a wide variety of organisms.

• Mars, often called the "Red Planet," has captivated human imagination for centuries. Its surface features
include vast deserts, deep canyons, and the tallest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons. Scientists
have discovered evidence of past water flows on Mars, sparking interest in the search for signs of ancient
life.
• Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and is mostly composed of hydrogen and helium.
Its iconic feature, the Great Red Spot, is a massive storm that has been raging for centuries.
Jupiter also has a collection of over 80 moons, with the four largest ones known as the Galilean
moons—Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto.

• Saturn is famous for its stunning ring system, which is made up of countless icy particles. These
rings are not solid, but rather a complex dance of waste caught in Saturn's gravitational pull. The
planet itself is a gas giant, with a relatively small rocky core surrounded by layers of hydrogen and
helium.

• Uranus is unique in our solar system because it rotates on its side, likely due to a past collision.
This gives the planet its characteristic rolling motion as it orbits the Sun. Uranus is an ice giant,
with an atmosphere of hydrogen, helium, and methane, which gives it a blue-green hue.

• Neptune, the farthest known planet from the Sun, is also an ice giant with a deep blue color due
to the presence of methane in its atmosphere. It experiences some of the strongest winds in the
solar system, reaching speeds of over 1,000 miles per hour. Neptune has a mysterious dark spot
known as the Great Dark Spot, similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot.
• Asteroids & Asteroid belt

• Asteroids are made with mostly of rock, some clay and different metals,
mostly nickel and iron. More than 150 of the asteroids have moons. The
largest asteroid is at 914km in diameter. Early in the life of the solar
system, dust and rock circling the sun were pulled together by gravity into
planets. But not all of the ingredients created new worlds. A region
between Mars and Jupiter became the asteroid belt. The main asteroid
belt orbit between Mars and Jupiter. It lies more than two-and-a-half
times as far as the earth does from the sun and contains millions
of asteroids.  The belt contain between 1.1 million and 1.9 million
asteroids larger than 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) in diameter, and millions of
smaller ones.
Interesting facts about planets

Let's uncover some more amazing facts about our cosmic neighbors, the planets! Did you know that standing on
Uranus isn't possible? It's because Uranus spins kind of funny, so there's no solid ground to stand on. And speaking of
chilly places, the whole of Mars is super cold, like the South Pole, making it a frigid world that's hard to imagine.

Now, imagine Saturn's rings made up of 90% water. Yes, those beautiful rings aren't just made of rocks but also
watery bits. Moving on to Jupiter's biggest moon, it's got a salty ocean hiding beneath its icy surface. The ocean has
more water than all the water on Earth – now that's a lot of water to splash around in!

Let's zoom in on Mercury – this little planet takes around three Earth months to complete a circle around the Sun.
Speaking of Mercury, did you know it's the smallest planet and it's actually shrinking bit by bit every day? Venus, on
the other hand, shines really bright in the sky, just after the moon. And our very own home, Earth, is super special
because it's the only planet we're sure has life (at least for now!).

Now, let's visit the red planet, Mars, named after the Roman god of war. And with that, we've journeyed through
some out-of-this-world facts about our planetary friends, each with its own unique story and surprises!
Conclusion
• In conclusion, we've discovered that our solar system is like a big
family of planets and the Sun. Each planet has its own personality and
way of moving around. The Sun is like the boss that keeps everyone
together. It's been fun learning about all these amazing things in
space, and there's still a lot more to explore out there!
• Thanks for giving time to us! This is the end of our presentation.
