Lesson 1 Universe and The Solar System

Our solar system is filled with a wide assortment of celestial bodies - the Sun itself, our eight planets, dwarf planets, and asteroids - and on Earth, life itself! The inner solar system is occasionally visited by comets that loop in from the outer reaches of the solar system on highly elliptical orbits. In the outer reaches of the solar system, we find the Kuiper Belt and the Oort cloud. Still farther out, we eventually reach the limits of the heliosphere, where the outer reaches of the solar system interact with interstellar space. Solar system formation began billions of years ago, when gases and dust began to come together to form the Sun, planets, and other bodies of the solar system. What to check out more?

SOLAR SYSTEM

MILKY WAY
OVERVIEW:
 The Solar system is located in the milky way galaxy-a huge disc and spiral-aggregation of
about at least 100 billion stars and other bodies;

>its spiral arms rotate around a globular cluster or bulge of many, many stars, at the which
lies a supermassive blackhole;

>the galaxy is about 100 million light years across (1 light year = 9.4607 x 10^12 km;

>the solar system revolves around the galactic center once in about 240 million years;

>the milky way is part of the so-called Local group of galaxies, which in turn is part of the
supercluster of galaxies;

>based on the assumption that they are remnants of the materials from which the formed,
radioactive dating of meteorites, suggests the Earth and the solar system billion years old on
the assumptions of they are remnants of the materials from which the formed.

ROTATION
vs.
REVOLUTION
ROTATION -MOVING AROUND AT A CENTRAL POINT.

REVOLUTION- MOVING AROUND SOMETHING


IN A PATH.
The hypothesis regarding the origin of the
solar system can be explained through
SCALE PROPERTIES OF THE Solar System.
HYPOTHESIS- a theory or
idea that is not proven but
that leads to further study or
discussion.
2 kinds of scale property:

*large scale properties

*small scale properties


LARGE SCALE PROPERTIES
1.Much of the Mass of the Solar system is concentrated at the
center (SUN) while angular momentum is held by the outer planet.

• MASS-weight

• CONCENTRATED-to give attention or focus

• ANGULAR MOMENTUM-the quantity of rotation of a body, which is the


product of its inertia and its angular velocity.

• HELD-past participle of hold

• OUTER PLANETS-any of the planets whose orbits lie beyond the


asteroid belt (Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,neptune)
ASTEROID BELT
SPACE BETWEEN THE ORBITS OF MARS AND JUPITER IN WHICH
MOST ASTEROID IS FOUND.

Asteroid- any of Thousand of small


planet that circle around the SUN.
2. Orbits of the planet elliptical and are
on the same plane

 ORBITS- one complete revolution of a body describing such a path.

 ELLIPTICAL- shaped like a flattened circle.

 PLANE- to make smooth or even.


3. All planets revolve around the sun.
4. The period of the revolution of the planets
increase with the increasing distance from
the sun; the innermost plant moves fastest
while the outermost moves the slowest.
 INNERMOST PLANET- ANY OF THE PLANETS WHOSE ORBITS LIE WITHIN
THE ASTEROID BELT

 OUTERMOST PLANET- ANY OF THE PLANETS WHOSE ORBITS LIE BEYOND


THE ASTEROID BELT
5.All Planets are located at
regular intervals from the sun

INTERVALS- a period of
time between events.
SMALL SCALE PROPERTIES
1. MOST PLANET ROTATE PROGRADE

PROGRADE:
direction of rotation
that is
COUNTERCLOCKWISE
2. Inner terrestrial planets are made of materials
with high melting point such as silicate, iron, and
nickel. They rotate slower, have thin or no
atmosphere, higher densities and lower contents of
volatilities(hydrogen, helium, and noble gas)

 TERRESTRIAL- RELATING TO HEAVENLY BODIES.

 DENSITIES- HAVING PARTS THAT ARE CLOSE TOGETHER.

 VOLATILES- CHANCE TO CHANGE IN A VERY SUDDEN OR


EXTREME WAY.
3.Outer 4 planets are called “GAS GIANTS” because Of
the dominance of gasses and their larger size. They
rotate faster, have thick atmosphere, lower densities,
and fluid interiors rich in hydrogen, helium and ices
(water, ammonia, methane)

DOMINANCE- most common
