Information for slides:
Mercury
The closest Planet to the Sun
Only a little larger than our moon
It is covered by dust, rocks, and craters
Venus
Named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty
The brightest planet when seen from earth
Has mountains higher than those on earth
Earth
Its tilt causes the seasons on the planet
Earth is the only planet in the universe which is known to support life.
Earth is almost five billion years old
Mars
The largest volcano in the Solar System is on Mars, called Olympus Mons
Mars has seasons like Earth. This is caused by the tilt of the planet's axis
Rocks from Mars have landed on Earth from meteorite impacts blasting debris through space.
Jupiter
Earth could fit into Jupiter over 1300 times
Jupiter has a thin set of rings, hardly visible from Earth
Jupiter has the strongest pull of gravity in the Solar System
Saturn
Saturn is the second largest planet
The many moons of Saturn are as different as fire and ice. There are at least 24 of them
Saturn is twice as far away from the Sun as Jupiter is
Uranus
It takes just over 84 years on Earth for Uranus to orbit the Sun
Uranus is the only planet in our solar system to rotate on its side
Uranus' pale blue color is caused by the methane in its atmosphere which filters out red light.
Neptune
The most distant planet in the Solar System
It takes 165 years for the planet to go around the Sun
Neptune has the strongest winds in the Solar System, and a dark spot, similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot
