Solar System About 4‚700 million years ago‚ the Solar System was just a spinning disc of dust and gas. The dust began to collect together and our Sun formed at the centre. Around Sun‚ lumps of rock joined up to form smaller bodies and‚ like the Sun‚ they heated up. But because they were smaller they soon cooled down and became planets. Sun accounts for 99.85 per cent of mass of the solar system. About 1.3 billion earths would fit inside the sun. The solar system consists of the Sun; the nine planets

SOLAR SYSTEM PLANETS MERCURY • The closest planet to the sun‚ Mercury is only a bit larger than Earth’s moon. Its day side is scorched by the sun and can reach 840 degrees Fahrenheit (450 Celsius)‚ but on the night side‚ temperatures drop to hundreds of degrees below freezing. VENUS • The second planet from the sun‚ Venus is terribly hot‚ even hotter than Mercury. The atmosphere is toxic. The pressure at the surface would crush and kill you. Scientists describe Venus’ situation as a runaway greenhouse

NEW ERA OF FLIGHT SOLAR IMPULSE AIRCRAFT Throughout the centuries‚ scientists have found innovative ways to harness the power of the sun- from magnifying glasses to steam engines. Amid the push to find domestic energy sources that are less polluting than fossil fuel‚ solar energy stands out as the alternative source with the most potential. Assisted by technological innovations‚ two Swiss gentlemen have built a solar aircraft which promises a new generation of flight without burning an ounce

Solar power From Wikipedia‚ the free encyclopedia This article is about generation of electricity using solar energy. For other uses of solar energy‚ see Solar energy. The PS10 concentrates sunlight received from a field of heliostats onto a central tower. Solar power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity‚ either directly using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus

1. Our solar system is made up of the sun and everything that travels around it. This includes eight planets and their natural satellites such as Earth’s moon; dwarf planets such as Pluto and Ceres; asteroids; comets and meteoroids 2. The sun is the center of our solar system. It contains almost all of the mass in our solar system and exerts a tremendous gravitational pull on planets and other bodies. 3. Our solar system formed about 4.6 billion years ago. 4. The four planets closest to the Sun
