Lesson 48 C2-A: The Sun“the nearest STAR”

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”.

there if we are to start from the sunVI. After 1000 light years what is visible answer: gasses become definedVII. After 100,000 light years answer: milky way is recognizedVIII. After 5M light years answer: 30 galaxies can be seen

called as local groups

IX. After 50M light years answer: we can see larger burger clusters

containing 2000 galaxies

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.
