What is Solar System?

TheSolar Systemcomprises theSunand
theobjects that orbit it.

The largest eight are theplanets.

The smaller objects are thedwarf
planetsandsmall Solar System bodiessuch
ascomets andasteroids.

* Formation and Evolution of

the Solar System

The formation of the Solar System began 4.6

billion years ago with the gravitational collapse
of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. Most
of the collapsing mass collected in the center,
forming the Sun, while the rest flattened into a
protoplanetary disk out of which the planets,
moons, asteroids, and other small Solar System
bodies formed.

THEORY

Big Bang Theory

Tidal Theory
Solar Nebular Theory
Planetesimal Theory

Big Bang Theory

The Big Bang theory is the prevailing cosmological model
for the universe from the earliest known periods through
its subsequent large-scale evolution. It states that the
universe expanded from a very high density state, and
offers a comprehensive explanation for a broad range of
observed phenomena, including the abundance of light
elements, the cosmic microwave background, large scale
structure, and Hubble's Law. If the known laws of physics
are extrapolated beyond where they are valid, there is a
singularity. Modern measurements place this moment at
approximately 13.8 billion years ago, which is thus
considered the age of the universe.

Tidal Theory
The theory of tides is the application of continuum
mechanics to interpret and predict the tidal
deformations of planetary and satellite bodies and
their atmospheres and oceans (especially Earth's
Ocean) under the gravitational loading of another
astronomical body or bodies (especially the Moon).

Solar Nebular Theory

The Solar Nebular Hypothesis describes the
formation of our Solar System from a nebula
cloud made from a collection of dust and gas. It
is believed that the sun, planets, moons and
asteroids were formed around the same time
around 4.5 billion years ago from a nebula.

Planetesimal Theory
The theory that explains the formation of
the solar system in terms of the aggregation
of such bodies is known as the planetesimal
hypothesis. According to this theory, first
proposed in 1900, the planetesimals formed
within a spiral disk of dust and gas
surrounding a central nucleus.

What is Planets?
a celestial body moving in an elliptical orbit
around a star.
Has 2 types of planets: Terrestrial and Gas
Planets.
Some planets are also classified as dwarf
planets.

Terrestrial Planets
the terrestrial planets are the inner planets
closest to the Sun.
i. 4 Terrestrial Planets
.Mercury
.Venus
.Earth
.Mars

Mercury
Smallest Planet
Closest to the Sun in the Solar System
Revolution: 88 Days
Rotation: 58.65 Days
No Moon

Venus
2nd planet from the Sun,
Also known as Sister of Earth because of
similar size, mass and bulk composition.
Deadliest Planet because of and hottest
planet in the solar system.
Rotation: 243 Days
Revolution: 224.7 Days
No moon

Earth
3rd planet from the Sun.
Only Known planet to have life.
Rotation: 23 hours, 56 minutes and 4
seconds
Revolution: 365.26 Days
1 moon called Luna.

Mars
4th planet from the Sun.
Also known as The Red Planet
The land or soil in Mars is red because of
high content of iron.
The largest volcano in the Solar System is
located in Mars and it is called Olympic
Mons
Rotation: 24.7 hours
Revolution: 687 Days
2 moon called Phobos and Deimos.

Gas Planets
Their compositions are mostly gases, such
as hydrogen, and small amounts of rocky
material.
All Gas Planets have rings but only
Saturns ring is visible.
The four gas giants in our solar system are
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Jupiter
5th planet from the Sun.
Largest Planet in the Solar System.
Known for its Great Red Spot.
Rotation: 9.90 hours
Revolution: 11.9 Days
Has 67 moons

Saturn
6th planet from the Sun.
Only Gas Planet that has visible ring.
The ring is made of icy rocks.
2nd largest planet
Rotation: 10 hours
Revolution: 29.45 years
Has 62 moons

Uranus
7th planet from the Sun.
Uranus is similar in composition to
Neptune
This is often classified as icy planet
It has blue-green color because of high
content of methane.
Rotation: 17 hours and 14 minutes
Revolution: 84 years
Has 27 Moons

Neptune
8th planet from the Sun
Neptune is the coldest planet in the Solar
System.
This also classified as icy planet like
Uranus.
Rotation: 19.1 hours
Revolution: 164.9 years
Has 14 moons
