The processes by which stars and planets form are active areas of research in modern astrophysics. The formation of our own solar system is central to the first half of our course, and important to the second half as well when we study the formation of stars. The outer planets are called Jovian or Jupiter-like.. These planets are made of gas and are several times more massive than the Earth.. The Jovian planets grew to present size in about 10 million years.. Introduction & Components . Activity . Look at the projector, is it giving off its own light? . Look at the white board is it giving off its own light? . How is it that the white board seems as if it is producing its own light? . Activating Strategy: Comparing Planets. Fill in the Comparing Planets Chart with what you already know about the planets.. How does Earth compare to other planets in the solar system?. S6E1c. Compare and contrast planets in terms of: size relative to earth; surface and atmospheric features; relative distance from the sun; ability to support life. Solar System:. The sun and all of the planets and other bodies that travel around it. Planet. A celestial body that orbits the sun, is round because of its own gravity, and has cleared the neighborhood around its orbital path. The . Great Chain of Origins and Origin Hypotheses (Nebular Hypothesis). Objectives. SWBAT evaluate varying hypotheses and their evidence about the origin of the solar system. . SWBAT compare, and contrast hypotheses about the origin of our solar system. . Ag. Earth Science . Ms. Weigel. 23.1 The Solar System . The Planets: An Overview. Two Groups of planets. Terrestrial Planets- Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars- relatively small and rocky . Jovian Planets- Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune- are huge gas giants. Nebula . Theory. Summing Up. SNT Explaining the Solar System. The Solar System’s disk shape. Inherited from the motion of materials in the solar nebula. . The planets and moons mostly rotate and revolve in the same directions because they evolved from the same gas cloud. . 25.5. Any theory about the origin of the solar system must explain. why all of the planets’ orbits lie more or less in a plane . Why all of the planets orbit the sun in the same direction. . It must also explain the differences in size and composition between the terrestrial planets and the gas giants.. By: Virginia. . Speirs. The Solar System. The solar system is made up of many different things. There are 8 planets in our solar system. . The Inner Planets. The inner planets are the four planets closest to the sun. The inner planets are - Mercury, Venus, Earth, . Learn planetary characteristics such as number of moons, size, composition, type of atmosphere, gravity, temperature and surface features.. Understand the movement of planetary bodies.. Understand which planetary characteristics are more important than others when it relates to our understanding of other worlds. . Ingredients?. Planets. Their Moons, Rings. Comets. Asteroids. . Meteoroids. . Kuiper Belt Objects. The Sun. A lot of nearly empty space. Solar System Perspective. Orbits of Planets. All orbit in same . Our solar system is ancient. . Early . astronomers believed that Earth was the center of the universe and all other heavenly bodies orbited around Earth.. Our Solar System. We now know that our sun is the center of our solar . Fill in the Comparing Planets Chart with what you already know about the planets.. How does Earth compare to other planets in the solar system?.
