Today many new discoveries are being made regarding planets and youth and children are also taking interest in these discoveries. Even children want to know a lot about the solar system. For which they can be helped by Solar System Planet Posters which they can decorate at homes as well as from which they can know more about the Solar System and planets.
And young ones who are interested in science and keep reading about planets and solar system every day then they can decorate their home and fulfill their desire to learn about solar system by vintage solar system poster. With this, they will be able to know the structure and small things of the planets better.
10 Facts about Solar System –
- The Solar System originated 5 billion years ago, consisting of 1 Sun, 8 planets, 5 dwarf planets, 181 moons, 555,300 meteorites and about 3,000 comets.
- All planets of solar system are bounded by the gravity of sun and revolve around the sun.
- The Sun is main source of energy in the solar system and it is born 4.6 billion years ago.
- Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System with its low mass and volume.
- Earth is the only planet where water and air or life is exist
- Mercury is hottest planet of solar system because it is close to sun and didn’t have atmosphere.
- Urenus is coldest planet in the solar system
- Mars has the highest mountain in the Solar System with the height of approx. 22km.
- Earth have ozone layer which protects it from dangerous solar radiation.
- It takes about 240 million years for the Solar System to complete one orbit of the Milky Way.
Did you know that the Solar System originated 5 billion years ago?
We have a whole lot to learn about this awesome planet, so let’s get started!
1. The Sun is a massive ball of flame with a mass of nearly 1.4 million times that of Earth.
2. The Sun rotates once every 25 days, and it takes it about 25 million years to do it again.
3. Not only does it take a long time for the Sun to rotate, but it also has enough material in it to provide all life on Earth with enough energy for 100 billion years!
4. Our solar system contains 8 planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are the gas giants; Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the rocky planets; and Ceres is a dwarf planet that orbits between Mars and Jupiter.
5. A day on Earth lasts 24 hours while one day on Mars lasts 39 hours and 40 minutes!
6. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system by far — it’s more than twice as big as all the other planets combined!
7. Scientists have been able to find water vapor clouds on other planets in our solar system
When you think about the Solar System, do you picture a bunch of stars and planets orbiting them? Or are you more likely to think of planets orbiting around their suns?
Well, both are true! The Solar System originated 5 billion years ago (yes, that’s right — five billion) and has since grown to include the Sun and the nine planets. The planets are all located in a flat plane called the ecliptic. This can be thought of as a giant circle that marks out the path that our solar system takes around the Sun.
The Sun is at the center of our solar system, while Mercury is closest to Earth and Venus is farthest away from it. Jupiter is in between Mercury and Venus and Saturn is farther from Earth than Jupiter. This means that when looking at all nine planets from above (which we have done), they form an upside-down “V” shape with Saturn at one end and Jupiter at the other end:
