! Solar Eclipse !A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or

partially obscuring Earth's view of the Sun.

! Lunar Eclipse !A lunar eclipse occurs whenever the Moon

passes through some portion of the Earth's

shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth

and Moon are aligned exactly, or very closely so, with the Earth in the

middle.

The Sun is a giant star. The Sun was formed from tiny dust particles and rocks. Over many years they have formed the Sun. The Sun has been around for a very long time and will be here for about another 500 million years to come!

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets. Earth is also referred to as "the Earth", "Planet Earth", "Gaia", "Terra", or "the World".This is the first planet known to have liquid water on the surface and the only place in the universe known to have life on it. Earth has a magnetic field that, together with a primarily nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, protects the surface from radiation that is harmful to life. The atmosphere also serves as a shield that causes smaller meteors to burn up before they strike the surface.

  Mercury, the planet nearest the Sun, is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Only slightly larger than the Earth's moon, Mercury's surface is covered with craters. This tiny planet does not have any rings or moons.

Mars is the fourth planet away from the sun and is called the red planet due to it’s reddish appearance.Mars is named after the Roman God Mars.tu66

Pluto also designated 134340 Pluto is the second-largest known dwarf planet in the solar system and the tenth largest observed body directly orbiting the Sun.

Venus is the second-closest planet to the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It is the brightest natural object in the night sky, except for the Moon, reaching an apparent magnitude of −4.6. Because Venus is an inferior planet, from Earth it never appears to venture far from the Sun: its elongation reaches a maximum of 47.8°. Venus reaches its maximum brightness shortly before sunrise or shortly after sunset, for which reason it is often called the Morning Star or the Evening Star.

Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system. It is the fourth largest planet by diameter and the third largest by mass; Neptune is 17 times the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive than its near twin Uranus, which is 14 Earth masses, but slightly smaller due to its higher density. The planet is named after the Roman god of the sea. Its astronomical symbol is a stylized version of Poseidon's Trident.

Uranus is the seventh largest planet from the sun. it is a gas giant and is the third largest b diameter and the forth largest by mass.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun. It is a gas giant (also known as a Jovian planet, after the planet Jupiter), the second-largest planet in the Solar System after Jupiter. Saturn has a prominent system of rings, consisting mostly of ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky debris and dust. It was named after the Roman God Saturn (the Greek equivalent is Cronos, father of Zeus). Its symbol is a stylized representation of the god's sickle (Unicode:

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the solar system. It is two and a half times as massive as all of the other planets in our solar system combined. Jupiter, along with Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, is classified as a gas giant. Together, these four planets are sometimes referred to as the Jovian planets being the adjectival form of Jupiter.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal English name other than "the Moon", although it is occasionally called Luna (Latin for "moon") to distinguish it from the generic term "moon" (referring to any of the various natural satellites of other planets). Its symbol is a crescent. The related adjective for the Moon is lunar (from the Latin root), but this is not found in combination with words using the prefix or suffix. The average distance from the Earth to the Moon is 384,403 kilometres (238,857 miles), which is about 30 times the diameter of the Earth.

Thank you very much for watching our power point.We
