 MERCURY
Mercury is the planet
closest to the Sun.
It is a small planet, a
little bigger than Earth’s
moon.
Mercury is covered with
thousands of dents called
craters.
Fastest revolving planet
 VENUS
Named after the Roman Goddess of
Love and beauty.
Shines very brightly and often times
called the “morning and evening star”
Second planet from the Sun and called
the Earth’s Twin.
Is the hottest planet in the solar
system.
It rotates backward or clockwise
direction.
A rocky planet.
 EARTH
Our home and the third
planet in the solar system.
Largest and densest
among the inner planets.
The only rocky planet to
sustain life. It has an
atmosphere.
 The inner planet with
one (1) moon
 EARTH’S MOON
A satellite is an object
that orbits another object
in space.
 Just as planets revolve
around the Sun because of
gravity, moons revolve
around planets.
 Earth’s Moon is named
Cynthia.
 MARS
The fourth in the solar
system and named after the
Roman God of War
 Known as the “red planet”
 It has two (2) moons
which is believed to be
asteroids
 It has huge volcano known
as Olympus Mons
 It is cold in Mars
 What are the inner planets?

The four planets closest to the sun are known

as the inner planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth,
and Mars
Inner Planets are also called Terrestrial Planets
because they are solid, dense and are made up of
rocks
JUPITER Known as the “king
of the planets”
Its most prominent
feature is the “Great
Red Spot.”
Has 16 moons, 4 of
which are known as
the “Galilean
satellites.”
SATURN
The second
largest gas
planet.
 Has more than
31 moons and the
largest is Titan
URANUS
Uranus rotates in the
opposite direction as most
other planets. And unlike
any other planet, Uranus
rotates on its side.
 Has 13 rings and 27
known satellites/moons.
NEPTUNE The planet
farthest from the
sun.
Known as the
“twin planet” of
Uranus
 It has 8 known
moons.
 What are the outer planets?

The four planets farthest from the sun are

known as the outer planets. Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune.
Inner Planets are also called Jovian Planets
because they are made up of gas.
 Inner Planets revolve
around the sun faster than
the Outer Planets.
 Outer Planets rotate on
their axes faster than the
Inner Planets.
 Planets except Venus and Uranus
rotate on their axis in counter-
clockwise direction or from WEST to
EAST known as prograde motion.

 Venus and Uranus rotate in a

clockwise direction or from EAST to
WEST known as retrograde motion.
Orbit is the imaginary path
where the planets move
around the sun.
All of the planets revolve
around the sun in a counter-
clockwise direction.
