slide1. Natural Sciences and Technology Grade 6 Term 4: Planet Earth and Beyond
The Solar System
(ppt 1)<br>
slide2. Topic 1 The Solar System The Sun Natural Sciences and Technology - Grade 6<br>
slide3. The Sun Natural Sciences and Technology - Grade 6<br>
slide4. Introduction The Sun is at the centre of the Solar System.
The solar system is made up of celestial bodies called stars, planets, asteroids and
meteorites.
Celestial bodies have mass and are made up of rock, gas or both.
Earth is a planet in the Solar System. Natural Sciences and Technology - Grade 6<br>
slide5. The Sun is: the centre of our Solar System.
a medium-sized star.
medium-hot and yellow.
a ball of gas held together by gravity.
made up of six layers.
420 times larger than Earth. Natural Sciences and Technology - Grade 6<br>
slide6. Anatomy of the Sun Natural Sciences and Technology - Grade 6<br>
slide7. The Surface Sun Spots
Sunspots are darker, cooler areas on the surface of the Sun.
Sunspots have temperatures of 3,800 K [Kelvin]. Solar Flares
It is a sudden flash of the Sun’s increased brightness, which is usually observed near its surface. Natural Sciences and Technology - Grade 6<br>
