Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are all relatively small, rocky planets

10. Terrestrial Planets

11. Mercury Closest planet to the sun.
Surface looks similar to the surface of Earth’s moon
Greatest temperature extremes of any planet (day=427C and night -173C)

13. Venus
Considered Earth’s twin because similar in size, density, mass and location in the solar system.
Known for the many volcanoes that cover the surface

15. Mars
Known as the “Red Planet” because it appears red when viewed through a telescope (large amounts of iron)
Possible water on Mars???
Some areas on Mars exhibit drainage patterns similar to those created by streams on Earth.

17. Jovian Planets Jovian literally means “Jupiter” like
4 Outer planets are huge, gas planets
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

18. Jovian Planets

19. Jupiter
“Giant Planet” because it’s mass is 2 ½ times greater than all of the other planets combined!
Jupiter has 4 moons and is also surrounded by rings made of fragments from meteorite impacts.

21. Saturn Saturn is known for it’s intricate ring system
The rings are composed of ice and rock particles

23. Uranus The Sideways Planet
Does not spin like other planets, but instead rolls on its side as it rotates on its axis.

25. Neptune The Windy Planet
Winds of over 1000mph blow on Neptune (one of windiest places we know about)

27. Pluto Pluto does not fit well into either category
In 2006 the International Astronomical Union decided to call Pluto a “dwarf planet”

28. Concept Check (Raise your Hand)

32. Objective 1.1.1
Explain the Earth’s motion through space, including precession, nutation, the barycenter, and its path about the galaxy

33. How do Kepler’s laws describe Earth’s orbit?
Essential Question
How does the Earth move?
How do Kepler’s laws describe Earth’s orbit?

34. Kepler’s Laws and Earth’s Orbit

35. Kepler’s Laws (Introduction)
Johannes Kepler, working with data painstakingly collected by Tycho Brahe (from ) without the aid of a telescope, developed three laws which described the motion of the planets across the sky.

36. Kepler’s Laws of Planetary Motion
1st Law - Law of Ellipses
Each planet orbits the Sun in a path called an ellipse or elongated circle
Ellipse is a closed curve whose path is determined by 2 points or foci within the ellipse
Focus 1 is the Sun and Focus 2 is an imaginary point
Semi-major axis = average distance from Sun (AU); ½ major axis
1st Law) Law of Ellipses
Each planet orbits the sun in a path called an ellipse or elongated circle
Ellipse is a closed curve whose path is determined by 2 points or foci within the ellipse
(circle use 1 point or focus )
One focus or point is located within the sun
The other focus or point is not within an object
The major axis runs through both foci points and the semimajor axis is the planet’s average distance from the sun

37. Eccentricity Degree of elongation or shape of planet’s orbit
Ratio between the foci and length of major axis
Circular =0
Very elongated =1
Elliptical orbits can vary in shape and can be described in terms of Eccentricity (e)
Eccentricity is the degree of elongation or shape of a planet’s elliptical orbit. It is the ratio of the distance between the foci and the length of the major axis.
circular =0 and extremely elongated e=1

38. 2nd Law – Law of Equal Areas
An imaginary line between the Sun and a planet sweeps out equal areas in equal times as the planet travels around the ellipse.
Perihelion planet is closest to the sun, Aphelion planet is furthest away from sun

39. Keplers’ 2nd Law
This also means that as the planet comes closer to the Sun in its orbit, it has to travel faster.
So, the planets speed is slowest when it is the fartherest from the Sun

40. 3rd Law – Law of Periods Mathematical relationship P2 = a3
a= semi-major axis (planets average distance from Sun measured in AU’s)
p= planet’s orbital period (time)
Simply means that the further a planet is from the Sun, the longer it takes to orbit around the Sun
We can predict the period of rotation if we know the length of the semimajor axis
Or we can predict the length of the semimajor axis if we know the period of rotation

41. Newton
Used Kepler’s Laws of planetary motion and published Principia for short. In this publication, considered to be the greatest piece of scientific literature ever written.
Contains Newton’s laws of motion including universal gravitation.

42. Kepler’s Laws Simulations

43. Barycenter and Earth’s Orbit
Barycenter is the center of mass between a planet and the Sun.
a. The law of universal gravitation states that every pair of bodies in the universe attracts each other with a force .

44. Concept Check
What did Kepler help to explain?

45. Exit Ticket 1.1.1 (Place on a separate piece of paper to turn in)
What does the Solar Nebular Hypothesis explain?
What happened approximately14 billion years ago?
List the four rocky planets.
What are the three types of galaxies?
What did Johannes Kepler laws helped to clarify?
Cloud of dust and gas that formed stars and planets
Universe was created from the big bang theory
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars
Spiral, Elliptical, Irregular

46. Kepler's laws foldable instructions
Make a three door foldable.
On the front of the flaps write: Kepler's first law, Kepler's second law, Kepler's third law
On the inside: on one side draw an image or write a formula to illustrate the law, on the other side write the definition.
Make it colorful! When you are done, staple the foldable into your notebook.
Have Ms. Bartell check your work for a grade.
