Our Solar System Consists Of… Sun Sun Inner or Terrestrial Planets Inner or Terrestrial Planets The Asteroid Belt The Asteroid Belt Outer Planets or Gas Giants Outer Planets or Gas Giants Comets Comets Moons Moons

Sun Center and Star of our Solar System Center and Star of our Solar System Planets travel around it in circular paths or orbits Planets travel around it in circular paths or orbits Holds the solar system together Holds the solar system together Filled with scorching, hot gases Filled with scorching, hot gases Provides energy that heats our world and makes life possible Provides energy that heats our world and makes life possible

Inner or Terrestrial Planets Includes four, small planets: Includes four, small planets: Mercury Mercury Venus Venus Earth Earth Mars Mars Composed of rock and metal Composed of rock and metal

Mercury Innermost and smallest planet Closest planet to the sun It is gray, hot and very dry Surface is covered with craters Has a metallic or iron core Has no water, no air, and no moons

Venus Second planet from the Sun Second planet from the Sun Earth’s closest and most similar neighbor Earth’s closest and most similar neighbor Brightest object in the sky, after the Sun and Moon Brightest object in the sky, after the Sun and Moon Surface is covered with thick, poisonous clouds Surface is covered with thick, poisonous clouds Has no oxygen in its air and no water on its surface Has no oxygen in its air and no water on its surface
