Let us study the Sun
What can you say about our Sun?
Yes – it is the brightest, hottest, biggest object beyond the Earth’s atmosphere.
Wow – its really awesome. God is so powerful!!!
Bright
Powerful
Wow!!!
BIG
Hot
Sun’s Temperature
Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius.
The temperature on the surface of the sun is 6000 degrees Celsius.
Not all of the sun’sradiation reaches the Earth.
God designed somethingto repel this radiation.
SUN
is really
HOT
Sun
Made up of very hot flaminggasses.
This hot gasses emit heat andlight energy.
This energy is known as solarradiation.
This heat and light reach ourplanet “the earth”.

Let us study our solar system
Solar system is made up of the sun and all the bodies that move around it.
Planets are bodies smaller than the sun.
There are 9 planetsNearest to the sun : MercuryFarthest planet : Neptune (Pluto is not a true planet)Biggest planet : Jupiter
Planets categorized into two:1) Terrestrial : made up of iron and rocks2) Gaseous : made up of gasses
C2-B Assignment:
Research at the library/internet regarding each planets moon and its corresponding names.
Lesson 48 C2-C: Asteroids, Meteoroids and Comets
Asteroids
Also called planetoids because they look like planets.
Some are made up of rocks and metals.
Most of them can be found in the asteroid belt found between Mars and Jupiter
Meteoroids
When asteroids collide its not only atmospheric dust that isformed but also small chunks of rocks or iron and leave theasteroid belt
Some are of this meteoroids enters Earths atmosphere. When this happen they are called meteors. When it landedthe Earth it is called meteorite.
Comets
Bodies that move around the sun
Also called dirty snowball because it consists of frozen gases, ice and dust.
