 The sun mainly
has four layers:

The Core

Solar eclipse In other words, the sun is
hidden by the moon .
During the solar eclipse, moon
moves in between the sun and the
earth.

The light from the outer part of the sun’s

atmosphere, called the corona becomes
visible during the total solar eclipse.
stars

Stars are large celestial

composed of gravitationally
contained hot gases emitting
electromagnetic especially light
as a result of nuclear reactions
inside the star.
Some Stars are:

Supernova Black Hole Red Giant

galaxy
The
Andromeda
Galaxy

Galaxy are collection of stars, low density gases bound

together by their own gravity. Galaxies are the building blocks
of the universe.
The Milky Way Galaxy, in
which the solar system is
situated.

planets

A planet is a large round object in space that orbits

around a star. There are nine planets in solar system.
They are:
mercury

Mercury is the closest

planet to the sun. It is a
small, rocky planet. Its
surface has been heavily
cratered by meteorites. It
completes one revolution
around the sun in 88 days.
venus

Venus is called the

morning and the
evening star as it is
the brightest object in
the sky. Venus is the
hottest planet of solar
system.
Earth

The fifth largest planet in

the solar system is earth.
Earth is the only planet
which support to life. It is
the third nearest planet to
the sun.
Mars

Mars is the known red planet

because of red iron oxide dust
that cover its surface. Mars
includes the volcano Olympus
Mons i.e. the biggest volcano
in the solar system.
jupiter

Jupiter is the largest

planet in the solar
system. It occupies the
fifth position in solar
system.
Saturn

Saturn is the sixth

planet from the sun and
second largest planet in
the solar system.
Saturn has a beautiful
ring system.
uranus

Uranus is the third largest

planet of the solar system.
It has 15 moons , 10 rings.
It has a blue- green color
due to methane.
neptune

Neptune is known as the

blue planet. It is the fourth
largest planet. This planet
shows a blue color
because of the presence
of methane in the
atmosphere.
pluto

Pluto is not a planet, it’s a

dwarf planet that is
located in the outermost of
the solar system. That’s
why is the farthest planet
from Sun.
asteroids

Asteroids are one of the many

small or minor planets that move in
the elliptical orbits primarily
between the orbits of Mars and
Jupiter. They also orbits the sun,
most of them travel in a between
mars and Jupiter. Jupiter’s
gravitational pull send asteroids
into erratic orbits, causing them to
collide with other planets and other
asteroids.
comets
A mass of ice and dust with a
long tail, moving around the solar
system. Comets look like
shooting stars. Here is one
example of comet, Halley’s comet
. This comet reappears every 76
years. The comet’s orbit which it
passes is closest to the sun.
meteors
Meteors are small
bodies of matter from
outer space that glows
like a shooting star. A
piece of rock or metal
that has fallen to the
earth from space is
known as a Meteorite.

A small body that would

become a meteor if it
entered the earth’s
surface us known as a
Meteoroid.
Moon
Moon, the natural
satellite of the earth.
The moon has no free
water and no
atmosphere, so there is
no weather to change in
surface.

Lunar Eclipse Lunar eclipse occurs when earth passes
between the sun and the fool moon, so that
the earth's shadow is cast on the moon.
Satellites

Satellites monitor the earth

and its atmosphere in many
ways. Satellites are use in
weather forecasting and in
many solar panels provide
electricity to power the
satellites.
The first
satellite to go in
space was

Sputnik-
