o Identify and describe the components and structure of our Solar System. Include important facts and figures.
Sun- It is an average start. It has around 50 degrees Celsius. It takes 8 minutes to look at the sun. You can fit 1.3 million Earth inside the Sun’s shell. The diameter of the Sun is 1,392,000km.
Moon (Luna) - The moon was formed 4.6 billion years ago, much later than the Solar System. The first moon landed was in 1969 by the USA. The first man stepped on the moon was in 1972.
Mercury- It is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the closest planet to the Sun. The temperature range is -183 degrees Celsius to 407 degrees Celsius. It is the 2nd densest planet. The diameter of Mercury is 4,853km and the distance from the Sun

They are objects made from rocks and metals that orbit the Sun but are too small to be considered as a planet.
Comets- Comet is a relatively small, at times active, object whose ices can vaporise in sunlight forming an atmosphere of dust.
o Describe the structure of the Universe, including the major objects that it contains. o Describe the Big Bang and how it has led to the formation of the Universe.
The Big Bang theory is outlining the early development of the current Universe.
The Universe was hot and dense at the time so it started to expand very quickly.
The Universe has cooled sufficiently so it allows energy to be converted into various subatomic particles which include protons, neutrons and electron.
The Big Bang theory is based on observations where new observations that the theory has to be adapted.
The Big Bang theory does not explain how the Universe began it just describes the conditions of the Universe in its early stages.
We all can assume that matter and energy that exists in this Universe now and during the Big Bang existed before the Big Bang so it is just impossible for us to describe in what state it existed.
The Big Bang happened approximately 14 billion years
The name of our planet in Roman Mythology is the Roman god of commerce, travel, and thievery. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, it rotates around the sun faster than any other planet in our solar system. It takes 1407.5 hours for it to rotate on its axis. Mercury is the smallest and innermost planet in our solar system. The radius of Mercury is 1,516 mi. Mercury’s mass is 3.285 times 10^23 kg. Mercury takes 88 days to rotate the sun completely. Mercury’s distance from the sun is 35.98 million mi. Mercury’s equatorial rotation velocity is 10.892 km/h (3.026 m/s). Since Mercury is closest to the sun the surface temperatures can be scorching hot and it can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 degrees Celsius). Mercury also doesn’t have a real atmosphere to entrap all that heat.
The most recent saying of the Big Bang is that it exploded. The Big Bang was a little dot somewhere in the universe. In the middle of the dot there was a lot of heat. It was really hot that the people that study the big bang say that it exploded because of the heat that was in the middle. They are also saying that that space is what it is expanding. People who study the Big Bang say that there is something out there in space that is making the universe expand but they do not know what it is.
Mercury- It is the closest planet to the sun; because it is so close observers are able to see Mercury either late in the evening or early in the morning. Mercury has no moons; it is one of the smallest planets in the Solar System and orbits the sun once every 88 days.
Most people in their lives have seen a shooting star and exclaimed, “Make a Wish!” However, this so called “shooting star” is actually the clue to how the solar system was created. While this rock object is in space it is called a meteoroid, and then it is called a meteor when it enters a planetary atmosphere. The friction of the meteoroid created by the incoming velocity causes it to heat up quickly, and in result a bright flash of light. As noted above, this is what people see when watching the sky. In addition, meteorites gave the first knowledge about abundances of chemical elements in the solar system in the 1930s through 1950s. Meteorites are the most ancient rocks known to mankind and have helped pave the way in the study of the formation
The Universe was this tiny super atom, and between 12 and 20 million years ago it exploded, creating as we know it today, the Big bang. It sent matter in every which way, and that was just the beginning of the Universe. As it was forming, nearly all of the earth was made up of this huge cloud of hydrogen. Some of the hydrogen mixed with helium and developed into stars.
Throughout the very first moments to have existed in the universe, was the big bang. Before this the universe was extremely hot and dense. As the universe began to cool, circumstances changed just as the building blocks of matter being the quarks and electrons of which we are all made, began to arise. Within a few millionths of a second later,
Mercury is in fact the closest planet to the sun. mercury is larger than earth's moon but only by a little bit. The side of mercury that sees the sun is completely scorched,
The solar system is so big and has been around for such a long time that my sister explained that it began with The Big Bang. The Big Bang theory is very confusing, but I know that it happened about 13.8 billion years ago to create our universe. There are many galaxies in the universe and we are in The Milky Way, I know I first thought of the candy bar, but that is wrong and it is home to our solar system. At the center of the solar system is the sun, the sun is only 4.6 billion years old, and I first thought the Sun was the largest plant in our solar system, but it is not a planet it is a yellow dwarf star. Its radius is 432,168.6 miles, it is way bigger than any of our planets in our solar system. If we were to compare the size of the Earth
Therefore, it is still a question mark that why universe came in to existence. It is mystery but there are some hidden factors behind the creation of earth. The universe is created because of something special that God likes. There are different myths for the creation of universe as per different religion. Some believes on God and some thinks that is created by accident. From previous studies, I have realized that there is one God behind all the creation of Universe. He has created each and everything because there are feelings of pleasure, good, bad and
When space and the universe began, the existence of time also began. This theory is well-known as the Big Bang Theory. About fifteen billion years ago, the universe was comprised of very hot compressed gas, as a fireball. This is contrary to the idea of the universe beginning as a lump of matter somewhere in the void of space. Matter was created as a result of the Big Bang.
Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a vast universe. This part of the universe is called the solar system, and is dominated by a single brilliant star-the sun. The solar system is the earth’s neighbourhood and the planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are the Earth’s neighbours. They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun.
Mercury which is the planet that is closest to the sun is the first planet I will discuss. Mercury is the smallest of the inner
Space rocks are exactly what they sound like “rocks in space” and some of the mains ‘space rocks’ are comets, asteroids, and meteoroids.
There have been many theories concerning what the universe looks like, how it became this way, and where it is going. The most popular theory that people hold today is that the universe began when all the matter ever present in the universe was contained in a tiny speck and that spec exploded. This is known as the Big Bang. This theory has developed a great deal since it was first conceptualized and continues to evolve today. Many different scientists have had a hand in this.
With the help of the LHC, scientists emulate the conditions that existed within seconds after the Big Bang because of the collisions created by the beams at colossal speeds. The Big Bang occurred 13.7 billion years ago and is credited by some to have created the Universe with an explosion of energy and matter. Scientists believe that all of the particles that shape our Universe came into existence because of the Big Bang and defines what is now seen in the LHC. A common misconception is that the LHC could potentially create a new universe because some people refer to it as recreating the Big Bang, however this is misleading as the LHC is only reproducing the energies that existed shortly after the start of the Big Bang.
