The Solar system

1.Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.



** Destance from the sun **

Mercury is apx 57,909,178Km, according to nationalgeograthic  Venus is apx 108,208,927Km, according to nationalgeograthic   Earth is apx 149,597,891Km, according to nationalgeograthic   Mars is apx 227,936,640Km, according to nationalgeograthic   Jupiter is apx 778,412,020K m, according to nationalgeograthic   Saturn is apx 1,426,725,4 00Km, according to nationalgeograthic   Uranus is apx 2,870,972,170Km, according to nationalgeograthic   Neptune is apx 4,498,252,900Km, according to nationalgeograthic   and Pluto is apx 5,906,380,000Km, according to nationalgeograthic

3. An orbit is when a object or planet circles another plant (in space terms.)

4.How big is each planet? Mercurey's diameter: 3025 miles = 4879 km  Venus' diameter: 7505 miles = 12,104 km   Earth's diameter: 7909 miles = 12756 km   Mars' diameter: 4214 miles = 6796 km   Jupiter's diameter: 88.650 miles = 142,984 km Saturn's diameter: 74,732 miles = 120,536   Uranus' diameter: 31,693 miles = 51,118 km   Neptune's diameter: 30,707 miles = 49,528 km    5.the defference between the inner planets and the outer planets? The deference between the inner planets and the outer planets are that the outer planets are outside the astride belt and are gas planets and move slower that the inner planets, the inner planets are rock planets and closer to the sun that have less space to cover to rotate. how was the moon created?

it was created in the early stages of the eath's forming and scientists assume that a huge astroid collided with earth and smashed chunks off the face of the earth and circled the earth like the saturn has a ring full of rock and gas some of the rock collided and span the early moon and formed a cephere as the earth develiped the rest of the gas dissolved and the rock hit the moon and formed more craters. Earths magnetic field  This is a animation of Earths magnetic field. the picture is based on heat, purple is cold and white is very hot  the yellow part is entering the Earth creating the poles   the north and the south pole.



The reason that the the feild is pulling back in this animation, is besause that is the weaker part of the field and the suns light is also having a small effect and creating the northern and Southernlights with a combonation of the suns light, radiation and gas. describe the force gravity  gravity is a force that pulls a object to the center of it   gravity can form with any thing with a significant mass. we still do not have a complete understanding of "gravity". Sir Isaac Newton gave an interest in gravity in 1650, when an apple fell on his head   and tryed to understand the force "gravity.    Why does the moon form tilde waves?   the reason that the moon forms tilde waves is because the moon forms a force of gravity against Earth, and has enough strength to pull the water towards it and the water follows the moons rotation, as when the moon gets to the middle point of a sea, all the water from the sea speeds towards the area and collides and waves are formed.



the phases of the moon are the these phases happen because of the suns light with the "New moon", the light is on the other side of the moon, the invisible side, that id hidden from our eyes, but with the full moon the is light on the visible, side of the moon as the moon is higher than the Earth and light has a direct hit to the moon an courses these phases.
 * 1) The new moon
 * 2) The waxing crescent
 * 3) The firt quarter
 * 4) The waxing gibbous
 * 5) The full moon
 * 6) The waning gibbous
 * 7) The third quarter
 * 8) The waning crescent.

//**__ How many times in one Earth year does each planet spin? __**// //**__ Mercury: 4.1 times __**// //**__ Venus: 1.6 times __**// //**__ Earth: 1 time __**// //**__ (moon: 13 times it circles the Earth) __**// //**__ Mars: 0.5 times __**// //**__ Jupiter: 0.08 times __**// //**__ Saturn: 0.03 times __**// //**__ Uranus: 0.01 times __**// //**__ Neptune: 0.006 times __**// //**__ pluto: 0.004 times __**// Why does the Earth have seasons? the reason why the the Earth has seasons is because the earth tilts on a angle and causes seasons. this picture explains the way this works  More infomation Videos Bibliography
