EARTH
- The Earth’s rotation is gradually slowing
- The only planet with living things.
- Not named after a Greek, or Raman god
- There is only one natural satellite of the planet Earth
- Of all the planets in our solar system, the Earth has the greatest density

- On Mars the Sun appears about half the size as it does on Earth
- Has the biggest storm in our solar system
- Only 18 missions to Mars have been successful and there been 40
- Mars is home to the tallest mountain in the solar system
- Mars and Earth have approximately the same landmas
JUPITER
- Jupiter orbits the Sun once every 11.8 Earth years
- It the biggest planet in our solar system
- Jupiter is a gaint gas planet
- The Great Red Spot is a huge storm on Jupiter
- Jupiter has the shortest day of all of the planets
STAURN
- Saturn can be seen with the naked eye:
- Saturn is the fattest planet
- Saturn orbit the sun once ever 29.4 Earth years
- Saturn is made mostly of hydrogen

COMET
- Define:an icy body that's in our solar system
HELIOSPHERE
- A bubble in space that's blown into interstellar medium by the solar wind
GALILEAN MOON

METEOR
- The visible path of a meteoroid that has enters the Earth's atmosphere. They usually burn up to 40 to 70 miles above the Earth.
METERIOD
- An object originating in outer space that survives impact with Earth
SOLAR SYSTEM
- Consists of the sun and astronomical object gravitationally bound in orbit around it.
KUIPER BELT
- Is a region of the solar system beyond the planets extending from the orbit of Neptune to approximately 50AU from the sun. It is similar to the asteroid belt but much larger 20 time as a wide and 20 to 200 time as massive.
OORT CLOUD
- A hypothesized cloud of comet which may lie roughly 50,000 AU from the sun.
ASTRONOMICAL UNIT
- A unit of length equal to about 149,597,870.7 kl or 92,955,807.3 mi or approximately the earth/sun distance apart.
