Our Solar System
The Solar System is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects (planets) that orbit it.

We are here!
SUN It is a star at the center of the solar system and is the largest source of electromagnetic radiation in this planetary system.
MERCURY It is the planet of the solar system closest to the Sun and the smallest. It is part of the so-called inner or terrestrial planets and lacks natural satellites like Venus.It is a star at the center of the solar system and is the largest source of electromagnetic radiation in this planetary system.
VENUS It is the second planet in the solar system in order of distance from the Sun, the sixth in terms of size, ordered from largest to smallest. Like Mercury, it lacks natural satellites.
EARTH It is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. Earth is the planet we live on.
MARS It is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury. It has a red colour.
JUPITER It is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined.
SATURN It is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth. It has a set of rings.
URANUS It is the seventh planet from the Sun. It has the third-largest planetary radius and fourth-largest planetary mass in the Solar System. Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune, and both have bulk chemical compositions which differ from that of the larger gas giants Jupiter and Saturn.
NEPTUNE It is the eighth and farthest known planet from the Sun in the Solar System. In the Solar System, it is the fourth-largest planet by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth, slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus.

Earth's movement
Earth orbits the Sun. This movement is called revolution. It take one year to revolve around the Sun.
WINTER Days are short and cold in winter. Winter is caused by the axis of the Earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the Sun.
SPRING Following winter and preceding summer. At the spring (or vernal) equinox, days and nights are approximately twelve hours long, with day length increasing and night length decreasing as the season progresses.
SUMMER The days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. Summer is the hottest of the four temperate seasons.
AUTUMN Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter. The duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools considerably. One of its main features in temperate climates is the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees.

EARTH'S AROUND THE SUN Depending on the position of the earth the sun strikes in a different way and in different areas, this gives rise to seasons, also this is a result of Earth's tilted position.
Activity 2 Tell your friends which is your favourite season and why.
Season A season is a division of the year marked by changes in weather, ecology, and amount of daylight. On Earth, seasons result from Earth's orbit around... Wikipedia

The Earth rotates
Day and night
Earth turns on its axis. This movement is called rotation. It takes 24 hours to complete a retation. Rotation causes day and night.

EXPERIMENT
You can see what effect the rotation of the earth produces with the light of the sun by doing a simple experiment (more info on the "🔍EXPERIMENT" button).
Activity 3 Try to explain to your friends how the Sun and Earth work.

Experiment
You can do this experiment to find out how the Sun acts on the Earth when it rotates and as day and night occur in the various parts of the earth.

You have to take a pencil and a ball, then you have to put both as in the example. This represents the Earth and its axis.
You have to take flashlight. This represents the Sun.
You have to turn on the flashlight in front of the pencil with the ball, then you can see how the light makes half of the ball is illuminated and the other part is in darkness. This represents how day and night occur in each hemisphere of the earth.

FULL MOON The full moon is the lunar phase when the Moon appears fully illuminated from Earth's perspective. This occurs when Earth is located between the Sun and the Moon .
WANING MOON When the Moon starts to decrease its angle again, going from 180-degrees back down to 0-degrees, astronomers say that it’s a waning moon. In other words, when the Moon is waning, it will have less and less illumination every night until it’s a New Moon.
NEW MOON The new moon is the first lunar phase, when the Moon and Sun have the same ecliptic longitude. At this phase, the lunar disk is not visible to the unaided eye.
WAXING MOON During the first half of a lunar month, when the amount of illumination on the Moon is increasing, astronomers call this a “waxing moon”.
Lunar Phases The Moon is in synchronous rotation with Earth, and thus always shows the same side to Earth, the near side. Lunar phases are the apparent changes in the illuminated visible portion of the satellite due to its change in position with respect to the Earth and the Sun.
