Share your answer with your shoulder partner.
If the Sun is represented by the table, how large do you think the biggest object is going to be?

Using what you know about the size of objects in our solar system, do you think all of the planet models will be able to fit on the table? Why or why not?
Share your answer with your shoulder partner.

Its easier to remember a song or something funny than to memorize the planets order from the Sun.
◦ My Very Excellent Mother Just Served Us Nachos◦ Mr Valentine Eats Mushy Jumbo Snails Until Noon
That’s an easy way to remember the order!◦ Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, Neptune
Distance from Sun

About 99% of all of the Solar System’s mass is located in the Sun.
All the planets could fit into the Sun, and there would still be room to fit more.
The Sun

Closest planet to the Sun
Smallest planet
It is about 1/3 the size of Earth
Mercury
![Page 11: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Venus is called Earth’s twin because it is so similar to the Earth in both size and mass.
Venus is only a few thousand kilometers smaller in diameter than Earth.
Venus is only similar to Earth in size and mass; everything else is very different.
Venus
![Page 12: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Home sweet home! We are twins with Venus in regard to size
and mass. It would take a jet plane two days to fly
around all of Earth. Our diameter is 12,800 Kilometers. Third planet from the Sun!
Earth
![Page 13: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Mars is a relatively small planet too; it is about half of the size of Earth.
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun; just past Mars is the start of the Asteroid Belt.
We have rovers on Mars to help us study the planet.
Mars
![Page 14: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
This is our largest planet. If a jet plane circled Jupiter, it would take 23
days. Jupiter is more massive than all the planets
together.◦ If you weighed all the planets and compared it to
Jupiter, it would weigh less than half of Jupiter.
Jupiter
![Page 15: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The planet is slightly smaller than Jupiter. Its mass is less than 1/3 that of Jupiter. The diameter of Saturn’s rings is about the
distance from Earth to the Moon. Its about 9x the size of Earth
Saturn
![Page 16: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Uranus has rings, too! It is about 4 times
larger than Earth. Uranus is on its side!
Its North/South pole points directly into the Sun and directly away from the Sun.
Its mass is about 15 times more than Earth.
Uranus
![Page 17: A Scale Model of Our Solar System](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062310/5681613d550346895dd0a1de/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Its mass is 17 times greater than Earth. It is our furthest planet from the Sun!
Neptune

4 I understand all of the planets orders, and all the details about the planets relational sizes. I have already started making my own comparisons about the planets.
3 I understand all of the planets orders from the Sun, and I understand all of the details regarding the relational size of the planets.
2 I understand the order of planets form the Sun, and some of the basics about their size. I need a little more help to grasp all the details about the planets relational sizes.
1 I understand the order of planets form the Sun. I need more help to grasp the relational sizes of the planets.
0 I am completely lost. I have to come in before school and during Academic Lab to catch up.
