2. Formation of the
Solar System
1.
An explotion of star
(supernova) created a nebula.
2.
The material caused by this
explotion rotated in the same
direction as the Sun and planets
do today.
3.
The temperature rose due to
partcules colliding: The creation
of the Sun took place.
4.
Now the temperature fall and
the materials condensed.
5.
These fragments stuck together
and with the gravitational
attraction formed the planets.
3. Inner planets
• Inner planets are the closest to the
Sun .
• The have few or no moons ad no
ring systems.
• They are rich in refractory metals
and minerals such as silicates.
• They are separated from the outter
planets by an Asteroid Belt.
4. Outer planets
• Outer planets are the furthest
the Sun.
from
• They have large and giant moons.
• They are made up of a giantic mass
of gases and volatile substances and
have only small amounts of iron and
silicates.
5. The Sun
• The Sun revolves in the same
direction as theplanets .
• All the planets move around the
Sun, approximately on the same
ecliptic plane.
•It is the Solar Systems star and it is
its chief component.
• It releases enormous amounts of
energy mostly radiated into space.
