    The document summarizes the key characteristics of the inner and outer planets in our solar system. The inner terrestrial planets closest to the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are made of rock and metals. The outer gas giants beyond the asteroid belt are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are large planets composed primarily of gases. The document also provides additional details on characteristics such as size, composition, moons, and temperatures for each planet.

    Inner and Outer Planets

    By: Joie Margaret C. Illescas


    Grade 7-E
    Planet

    • Is an astronomical body
    orbiting a star or stellar
    remnant that:

    A. Is massive enough to be
    rounded by it’s own gravity,

    B. Is not massive enough to


    cause thermonuclear fusion,
    and

    C. Has cleared it’s neighbouring


    reign of planetesimals.
    Outer and Inner Planets

    Inner Planets
    Inner Planet

    • The four inner planets are called terrestrial planets because their
    surfaces are solid (and as, the name implies, somewhat similar to Earth
    - although the term can be misleading because each of the four has
    vastly different environments). They’re made up mostly of heavy metals
    such as iron and nickel, and have either no moons or few moons.
    Mercury

    • Is the smallest and innermost


    planet in the Solar System. It’s
    orbital period around the Sun of
    88 days is the shortest of all the
    planets in the Solar System. It
    is named after the Roman deity
    Mercury, the messenger to the
    gods. This planet has no moons,
    but has a tenuous atmosphere
    (exosphere) containing oxygen,
    sodium, hydrogen, helium and
    potassium.
    Mercury

    • Size: 3,030 miles (4,878 km)

    • Distance from the Sun: 57.91


    million km

    • Moons: None

    • Surface Temperature: -173 To


    427°C

    • First Record: 14th century BC

    • Recorded by: Assyrian


    astronomers
    Venus

    • Is the second planet from the


    Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth
    days. It has the longest orbiting
    rotation period of any planet in
    the Solar System and rotates in
    the opposite direction to most
    other planets. It has no natural
    satellites. It is also the hottest
    planet and the second brightest
    object in the night sky after the
    Moon. Named after the Roman
    goddess of love and beauty.
    Venus

    • Size: 6,052 km

    • Distance from Sun: 108.2


    million km

    • Moons: None

    • Surface Temperature: 462 °C

    • First Record: 17th century


    BC

    • Recorded by: Babylonian


    astronomers
    Earth

    • Earth is the third planet from the


    Sun, the only object in the Universe
    known to harbor life and the largest
    of the terrestrial planets. According
    to radiometric dating and other
    sources of evidence, Earth formed
    over 4 billion years ago. It is the
    only planet in our Solar System not
    to be named after a Greek or Roman
    deity. It was formed approximately
    4.53 billion years ago and is the
    only planet to support life.
    Earth

    • Moons: 1 (The Moon)
    • Surface Temperature: -88 To

    Mars
    • Mars is the fourth planet from the
    Sun and the second-smallest
    planet in the Solar System after
    Mercury. named after the Roman
    god or war, It is also often
    described as the “Red Planet” due
    to its reddish appearance. It’s a
    terrestrial planet with a thin
    atmosphere, having surface
    features reminiscent both of the
    impact craters of the Moon and
    the valleys, deserts, and the polar
    ice caps of Earth.
    Mars
    • Size: 3,390 km

    • Distance from Sun: 227.9 million km

    • Polar Diameter: 6,752 km

    AU)

    • Surface Temperature: -153 To 20

    • First Recorded: 2nd millennium BC

    • Recorded by: Egyptian astronomers


    Outer Planet

    • The outer planets


    (sometimes called Jovian
    planets or gas giants) are
    huge planets swaddled in
    gas. They all have rings and
    have plenty of moons as
    well. Despite their size, only
    Jupiter and Uranus are
    visible without telescopes.
    Jupiter

    • Jupiter is the fifth planet


    from the Sun and the
    largest in the Solar
    System. It is a giant planet
    with a mass one
    thousandth that of the
    Sun, but two-and-a-half
    times that of all the other
    planets in the Solar
    System combined.
    Jupiter
    • Size: 69,991 km

    • Distance from Sun: 778.5 million km

    • Polar Diameter: 133,709 km

    • Mass: 1.90 x 10^27 kg (318 Earths)

    • Moons: 67 (lo, Europa, Ganymede &


    Callisto)

    • Rings: 4

    • Effective Temperature: -148 °C

    • First Record: 7th or 8th century BC

    • Recorded By: Babylonian astronomers


    Saturn

    • Is the sixth planet from the


    Sun, the second-largest in
    the Solar System, after
    Jupiter and the most distant
    that can be seen with the
    naked eye. It is a gas giant
    with an average radius
    about nine times that of
    Earth.
    Saturn
    • Size: 58,232 km

    • Distance from Sun: 1.429 billion km

    • Polar Diameter: 108,728 km

    • Effective Temperature: -178°C

    • First Record: 8th century BC

    • Recorded by: Assyrians


    Uranus

    • Is the seventh planet from the Sun.


    It has the third-largest planetary
    radius and fourth-largest planetary
    mass in the Solar System. While
    being visible to the naked eye, it
    was not recognized as a planet due
    to its dimness and slow
    orbit. Uranus became the first
    planet discovered with the use of a
    telescope. Uranus is tipped over on
    its side with an axial tilt of 98
    degrees. It is often described as
    “rolling around the Sun on its side.”
    Uranus
    • Size: 15,882 miles (25,362 km)
    • Distance from Sun: 2.871 billion km
    • Polar Diameter: 49, 946 km

    • Moons: 27 (Miranda, Titania, Ariel, Umbriel & Obereon)
    • Rings: 13
    • Orbit Distance: 2,870,658,186km (19.19 AU)
    • Orbit Period: 30, 687 days (84 years)
    • Effective Temperature: -216°C
    • Discovery Date: March 13, 1781
    • Discovered by: William Herschel
    Neptune
    • Is the eighth and farthest
    known planet from the Sun in
    the Solar System. In the Solar
    System, it is the fourth-
    largest planet by diameter,
    the third-most massive
    planet, and the densest giant
    planet. Neptune orbits the Sun
    once every 164.8 years. It is
    the Roman god of the Sea. It
    also has planetary ring
    system.
    Neptune

    • Discovery Date: September 23, 1846

    • Discovered by: Urbain Le Verrier &


    Johann Galle
    Facts:
    • Did you know that Pluto used to be a planet until 2006? This
    is when the IAU (International Astronomical Union)
    formalized the definition of a planet as “A celestial body that:
    A. Is in orbit around the Sun,
    B. Has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid
    body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium
    (nearly round) shape,
    C. Has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.
    • Did you know a day on Venus lasts longer than a year? It
    takes 243 Earth days to rotate once on its axis (sidereal day).
    The planet’s orbit around the Sun takes 225 Earth days,
    compared to the Earth’s 365. A day on the surface of Venus
    (solar day) takes 117 Earth days.
    I’ll just add Pluto
    to know more
    about it
    Pluto

    • It is discovered in 1930.
    Pluto is the second closest
    dwarf planet to the Sun and
    was at one point classified
    as the ninth planet. It is the
    largest dwarf planet but
    only second most massive,
    with Eris being the most
    massive. It is named after
    the Greek god of the
    underworld.
