THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Start
Mercury
Hi, I'm Mercury, I'm the CLOSEST planet to the sun and I'm also the SMALLEST
I'm named after the Roman God Mercury, the Messenger of the Gods, named for its fast orbit. Do you remember the Greek name for the same deity?
Venus
Hi, I'm Venus and I'm the second planet in our Solar System
I'm the HOTTEST and the BRIGHTEST planet
I'm named after the Roman goddess Venus, Goddess of love and beauty, I'm named after her for my bright appearance. Do you remember my greek name?
Earth
Hi, I'm the Earth and i'm the planet you live on! Take care of me please
I'm BIGGER THAN Venus
My name is very special because it does not come from any Greek or Roman diety; it has Old English and Germanic roots. It originally meant ground, soil, or surface of the world.
Mars
Hi, I'm Mars and I'm the Fourth planet
I have the HIGHEST mountain in our solar system, a mount called "Olympus mons"
My name comes from the Roman God of war, due to my red, blood-like colour.
Jupiter
Hi, my name is Jupiter and I'm covered in clouds
My GIANT red spot is furious storm
I'm the BIGGEST planet of our Solar System, which is why I am named after the greatest and most important deity of all, the king of all Gods. Do you remember my name?
Saturn
I'm Saturn and I'm the sixth planet
I always wear my rings, they are made of dust and icy chunks
My name does not come from a god but from a titan, the god of time. You may know me as Cronus, the father of Zeus. Saturn is my Roman name. This is my name because I am the slowest to move.
Uranus
Hi, I'm Uranus and I'm Blue!
Humans have named me the Icy Planet because I'm the COLDEST one
It is the only planet with a name that comes directly from Greek, Ouranus, the god of the sky and father of Cronus.
Neptune
Hi, I'm Neptune and I'm the LAST planet in our Solar System
I have a lot of storms in my atmosphere and I'm the FURTHEST from the Sun
I'm named after Neptune, the roman god of the sea because of my deep blue colour. My greek name is... do you know it?
Pluto
Pluto is a dwarf planet
Discovered in 1930, it was once considered the ninth planet but was reclassified in 2006
Pluto has five known moons: Charon, Nix, Hydra, Kerberus, and Styx
Pluto was named after the Roman god of the underworld, lord of the dead. He's Greek name is Hades.
It is incredibly cold, with surface temperatures ranging from -225 to -240°C
The Sun
The Sun is the heart of our solar system, a nearly perfect sphere of hot plasma that provides the energy necessary for life on Earth
It is commonly classified as a yellow dwarf
Light from the Sun takes approximately 8 minutes and 20 seconds to reach Earth
When we look at the Sun we see it as it was 8 minutes ago
Meteor or Shooting star
A meteor (or shooting star) is the bright streak of light you see when a piece of space debris, called a meteoroid, enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up due to friction with the air.
The "shooting star" effect—the flash of light created when the meteoroid hits the atmosphere at high speeds and vaporizes.
Comet
Comets are composed of a mix of water ice, frozen gases , dust, and rock
Comets are different from Meteors because a comet is a giant object far out in space. You can see a comet while it is still millions of miles away from Earth. Because it is so far away, it moves very slowly across the sky and can remain visible for days or even weeks.
Asteroid
Asteroids are rocky remnants left over from the early formation of our solar system about 4.6 billion years ago. Often described as "minor planets," they are far smaller than planets and typically possess irregular shapes
The vast majority of asteroids are located in a region between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. This region contains over 1 million, and potentially millions more, of these space rocks.
The Moon
The Moon is Earth’s only natural satellite and the closest celestial body to our planet, playing a crucial role in stabilizing our climate and creating ocean tides.
It is the only other planet humans have set foot on.
The word "moon" originates from the Old English mōna, is heavily linked to the origins of "Monday" (Mōnandæg), signifying "the moon's day" in Anglo-Saxon culture
The Moon was used to measure time.
