Solar system and space for the most inquisitive!
There is one simple way to remember the planet of the solar system for children. However, for adults too. It is very similar to how we remember the colors of the rainbow. All children love various counts, thanks to which the information is in memory for a long time.
D. for memorization of the planets of the solar system, we suggest you to learn with the guys a poem, which can be composed of ourselves, or take advantage of the work of A. Hight:
In order, all the planets
Write any of us:
Once - Mercury,
Two - Venus,
Three - Earth,
Four - Mars.
Five - Jupiter,
Six - Saturn,
Seven - uranium
Behind him - Neptune.
Remember again, as in childhood you remembered the colors of the rainbow. With the names of the planets, you can apply the same principle. Build the phrase, each word of which will begin with the same letter as the planet of the solar system in order of its location from the sun. For example:
we
Mercury
Meet me
Venus
Tomorrow
Land
My
Mars
Youth
Jupiter
Satellite
Saturn
Gonna fly Now
Uranus
Not long
Neptune
This is just an example, in fact you can come up with anything, if only the baby it was close in spirit, and he easily remembered all the proposal. Now, when we dealt with how it is necessary to prevent any information to children, you can go to the immediate knowledge you will teach your young astronomers.
Finally, an interesting and simple story for children about what is a solar system.
Solar system is all cosmic bodies that rotate around the Sun according to their clearly specified trajectories. These include 8 planets and their satellites (their composition is constantly changing, as some objects open, others lose their status), many comets, asteroids and meteorites.
The history of the planets
There is no definite opinion on this, there are only theories and guesses. According to the most common opinion, about 5 billion years ago, one of the clouds of the Galaxy began to shrink down to the center and formed our sun. The body formed had a huge strength of attraction, and all the particles around the particle and dust began to join and stick together in the balls (this is the current planets).
The sun is not a planet, and the star. The source of energy, life on earth.
Sun as a star and the center of the solar system
Planets in their orbits rotate around a huge star called the sun. The planets themselves do not emit any heat, and if there were no light of the sun, which they reflect, then life on Earth would never have originated. There is a certain classification of stars according to which the sun is yellow dwarf, about 5 billion years old.
Satellites Planet
The solar system does not consist only of some planets, it also includes natural satellites, among which the moon well known to us. In addition to Venus and Mercury, each planet has a certain number of satellites, today there are more than 63 more. New celestial bodies are constantly opened thanks to photographs that make automatic spacecraft. They can make even the smallest satellite with a diameter of only 10 km (Leda, Jupiter).
Characteristics of each planet of the solar system
The procession of the orbit of Mercury
1. Mercury.This planet is closer to all located to the sun, in the entire system it is considered the smallest. The surface of Mercury is solid, like all four inner planets (closer than all located to the center). It has the highest rotation speed. The day of the planet is practically lit under sunlight (+ 350˚), and at night freezes (-170˚).
2. Venus.This planet is more than others on the ground with its size, composition and brightness. But the conditions are very different. The Mosmfer Venus consists of carbon dioxide. There are always many clouds around it, which makes it difficult to observe. The entire surface of Venus is a hot rocky desert.
3. Earth- The only planet on which there is oxygen, water, therefore, life. It has an ideal location towards the Sun: close enough to get light and heat in the right amount, and far enough to not burn from rays. It has an ozone layer that protects everything alive from radiation. Planet is a house for millions of living beings. , including a person.
Earth comparison with other solar system planets
The earth has one satellite - the moon.
4. Mars.Some scientists assumed that there is a life on this planet, because it has a number of similarities with the Earth. But numerous studies did not find signs of life there. Moment is known two natural satellites of Mars: Phobos and Dimimos.
5. Jupiter- the largest planet of the solar system, 10 times superior land in diameter and 300 times in mass. It consists of jupiter from hydrogen, helium and other gases, has 16 satellites.
6. Saturn- The most interesting planet for children, as it has rings that are formed from dust, stones and ice. Around Saturn rotates three main rings, the thickness of which is about 30 meters.
7. Uranus.This planet also has rings, but it is much more complicated to see them, they are manifested only at a certain time. The main feature of uranium is its rotation manner performed in the "Lying side" mode.
8. Neptune.Astronomy today is called this planet last in the solar system. Detected Neptune only in 1989, as it is located very far from the sun. The surface of it from the space looks blue, which cannot but affect us.
Until 2006, there were 9 planets, there were still Pluto. But according to the latest scientific data, this space object has ceased to call the planet. And sorry ... Although, the children remembered easier.
