Formation of the Solar System
Nebular contraction:
Cloud of gas and dust contracts due to gravity; conservation of angular momentum means it spins faster and faster as it contracts

Angular momentum – the tendency of a body to keep spinning.
Conservation of angular momentum

Formation of the Solar System
Condensation theory:
Interstellar dust grains help cool cloud, and act as condensation nuclei

Lets name them (in correct order). Mercury. (0.38 AU from the Sun) Venus. (0.72 AU) Earth. (1.0 AU ≈ 100,000,000 miles) Mars. (1.52 AU) Jupiter. (5.2 AU) Saturn. (9.52 AU) Uranus. (20 AU) Neptune (30 AU)

Planets
![Page 7: Astronomy in the new Millenium Volker Crede Grigory Rogachev.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ec55503460f94bcf3fd/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Mercury
![Page 8: Astronomy in the new Millenium Volker Crede Grigory Rogachev.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ec55503460f94bcf3fd/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Mercury’s “cool” features. Mercury is the only planet in the solar
system which has no atmosphere! Mercury rotates very ssslllloooowwwlllyyy.
One day on Mercury equals to 176 Earth days!
Mercury’s day side gets fried by the Sun to the temperatures high enough to melt Lead!
Mercury’s night side gets so cold that oxygen would be liquid there!

Venus
![Page 10: Astronomy in the new Millenium Volker Crede Grigory Rogachev.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ec55503460f94bcf3fd/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Venus’s surface
![Page 11: Astronomy in the new Millenium Volker Crede Grigory Rogachev.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062802/56649ec55503460f94bcf3fd/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Cool” Venus features. (HOT actually)
Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar system! (900 oF – twice as hot as your oven can do).
Venus’s atmosphere is 90 time thicker then Earth’s atmosphere!
HOT, Crashing and Orange/Red… And, eh, it is also very sloooooooooow. One
Venus’s day = 243 Earth’s days and it rotates the wrong way!

Any pictures? A photograph of the surface, from the Venera
lander, which did not survive for long though…

Mars
We learned SO much about Mars during the last decade!
Mars rovers, Spirit and Opportunity, and Mars orbiter Odyssey are diamonds in our scientific portfolio.

Mars’s “cool” facts. (wet actually) A long, long time ago… In a galaxy far, far away…

Mars’s “cool” facts. (wet actually) 1 or 2 billion years ago Mars was covered
with liquid WATER!

“Cool” facts. (cont.) Mars is home of the
largest mountain in the Solar system – Olympus mons. 25 km high!
Mars has the largest and the deepest canyon in the Solar system – Valles Marineris. It is as big as the entire USA and 7 km deep.

Gas Giants Gas Giants are … Well, gas giant. They consist almost exclusively of gas,
hydrogen and helium. Lots of gas!

“Cool” fact about Jupiter Jupiter is the Largest
and the most massive planet in the Solar system.
If it would be just 80 time heavier it would become a star!
Jupiter has storm which is at least 300 years old! (Great Red Spot).
It looks like a zebra.

Asteroids Impact of a large asteroid can be VERY unpleasant.

Meteoroid Small rocky object
in space. If burn in the
atmosphere – meteor.
If survived the atmosphere and hits the ground – meteorite.
