• Only star in our Solar system
• In it's prime of life (only 4 billion years old). It will live for another 4 billion years
• 70 % hotter than 1 billion years ago
• All planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, meteors, meteoroids and comets orbit the Sun

Mercury: Rock planet

• Hottest planet

• No natural satellites
• Much drier then earth
• Average temperature is 400 degrees Celsius  
• Has volcanic eruptions

• The only planet known to have life
• Third planet from the Sun
• Has one satellite the moon
• The only inner planet that has a big moon
• The only planet with plate tectonics  
• Atmosphere is 21% oxygen
• Biggest inner planet
  

• Fourth planet from the Sun
• Has water in icecaps
• Most Earth like planet
• Coldest inner planet
• Smaller then Earth and Venus
• Has the biggest volcano in our Solar System Olympus Mons
• Has our Solar Systems biggest valley  Valles Marineris
• Has two moons Phobos and Deimos
• About half the size of Earth

Ceres: Dwarf Planet

• Closest Dwarf planet to the Sun
• First dwarf planet found in the asteroid belt
• Largest asteroid
• Used to be considered a planet when it was found
• Was reclassified a asteroid when more asteroids where discovered
• In 2006 it was reclassified a dwarf planet
• Has a diameter of slightly under 1000 kilometers

Jupiter: Gas Giant

• Fifth planet from the Sun
• Biggest planet
• 318 Earths could fit in it!
• About 2 times the size of all of the planets put together!
• Made mostly of Hydrogen and Helium
• Has the biggest storm in the Solar System the great red spot
• Has 64 satellites
• The largest satellite Ganymede is bigger then Mercury
• Ganymede is the largest satellite in the world
• Has very thin rings
   

Saturn: Gas Giant

• Sixth planet from the Sun
• Second biggest planet
• Has the biggest set of rings in the Solar System

• The size of 95 earths
• It's rings are made up of rock and ice
• has 62 satellites
• It's largest satellite Titan is bigger then Mercury
• Titan is the second largest satellite in the Solar System
• Titan is the only Satellite with a atmosphere
  

Uranus: Ice Giant

• The size of 14 Earths
• The lightest outer planet
• Orbits the sun on it's side so half the year there is light on one side and no light on the other
• Core is much colder then the other outer planets
• Radiates very little heat into space
• Has 27 natural satellites
• Seventh planet from the Sun
  

Neptune: Ice Giant

• Eight planet from the Sun
• The size of 17 Earths
• It radiates more heat into space then Uranus
• Has 13 natural satellites
• It's largest satellite Triton is geologically active
• Triton is the only moon that goes around it's planet backwards
• A number of minor planets go with Neptune in it's orbit
• The minor planets are in a 1:1 resonance with Neptune meaning every time Neptune goes around the Sun once so do they
• Minor planets are called the Neptune Trojans  

Pluto: Dwarf planet

• Ninth planet from the Sun 
• Second dwarf planet to be found
• Largest known object in the Kuiper belt 
• When it was discovered it was considered a planet
• Became a dwarf planet in 2006
• Orbit is tilted by 17 degrees
• At it's closest it's in the orbit of Neptune
• Has 4 natural satellites
• Pluto's largest natural satellite Charon is sometimes called a binary system with Pluto because the appear to orbit each other
• Pluto is in a 3:2 resonance with Neptune meaning every time Neptune goes around the Sun three times Pluto goes around the sun twice
• The largest object in the Resonance belt
  

• Egg shaped
• Has two natural satellites
  
• Orbit is tilted by 28 degrees                                                                                                        

• Second brightest object in the Kuiper belt after Pluto
• Orbit is inclined by 29 degrees

• Largest object in the scattered disc
• 25% percent more massive then Pluto
• The most massive dwarf planet
• Has one moon Dysnomia
• Orbit is steeply inclined
  

• Large and Red
• Has a large and steeply inclined orbit
• Orbit takes 12,050 years to complete
• Thought to be a part of an entirely new population
• Founder says that it can not be a part of the scattered disc or the Kuiper belt because it goes to far away from the Sun
• Most likely a dwarf planet but it's shape has not been confirmed
