2 Contents The Solar System Exercises

3 The Solar System The Solar System consists of 8 planets. Some of them have their natural satellites. It is considered that the Solar System appeared from the gas cloud approximately 4,5-5 billions years ago .

4 The terrestrial planets
The planets are divided into 2 groups: the terrestrial planets and the gas giants. The first group: Earth, Mercury, Venus, Mars. They are far less than the gas planets in size. Mercury Venus Earth Mars

5 It has no natural satellites.
Mercury Mercury –is the closest planet to the Sun. It is the smallest planet in the Solar System. It is similar in appearance to the Moon. Because of the closeness to the Sun its surface heats up to +400°С. It doesn’t have any substantial atmosphere. It has no natural satellites.

6 Venus has no natural satellites.
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It is close in size to Earth. About 80% of the surface is covered with smooth volcanic plains. It has an extremely dense atmosphere which consists of mainly carbon dioxide. It is the hottest planet with surface temperature up to +500°С. Venus has no natural satellites.

7 It has one satellite – the Moon.
Earth Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is the largest of the terrestrial planets. It is the only place in the Universe where life is known to exist. Its atmosphere consist of 78% nitrogen, 21% free oxygen and ≈1% argon. Over 70% of surface is covered with water. It has one satellite – the Moon.

8 The Moon

9 Mars Mars is the forth planet from the Sun. It is smaller than Earth. Its surface consists of vast volcanoes and valleys. Its red colour comes from iron oxide in its soil. It is a planet with a thin atmosphere. Mars has got polar ice caps which consist of ice water and carbon dioxide. An average temperature is -70°С. Mars has two natural satellites.

10 Mars’s satellites Phobos Deimos

11 The gas giants Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus
The gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. They are bigger than the terrestrial planets. They consist of gas and they haven’t got solid surfaces. They are surrounded with rings and atmosphere which consists of hydrogen. Jupiter Saturn Neptune Uranus

12 Jupiter has got 28 natural satellites.
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun. It is the largest planet of the Solar System. It is covered with long layers of clouds. That’s why it looks like striped. It is surrounded with a faint planetary ring system. An average temperature is -130°С. There is the Great Red Spot on the Jupiter which is known as a giant atmosphere storm. Jupiter has got 28 natural satellites.

13 Jupiter’s satellites Ganymede The biggest Io Europa Callisto

14 Saturn has got a record number of natural satellites – 33.
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is surrounded with big and bright rings. Its rings are made up of small ice and rock particles. The temperature is to -170°С. Saturn has got a record number of natural satellites – 33.

15 Saturn’s satellites Mimas Titan Tethys

16 It has got 20 natural satellites.
Uranus Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. Like the other giant planets, Uranus has a ring system. Uranus is the first planet discovered with a telescope by English astronomer Sir William Herschel (1781). It has got 20 natural satellites.

17 Uranus’s satellites Miranda Ariel Umbriel

18 It has got 8 natural satellites.
Neptune Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun. Neptune is the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation. It is surrounded with rings. It has got 8 natural satellites.

19 Neptune’s satellites Triton Proteus Nereid

20 Pluto Pluto is the ninth planet from the Sun. It was discovered in But on 24th August the International Astronomical Union excluded Pluto as a planet and added it as a member of the category “dwarf planet”.
