Hello steemians! I am happy to be here again. How are you guys? Hope by what it takes to be healthy you are okay with life? well, I just want to hear from you and know about your health. Good day!

OVERVIEW OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

Without consuming much of your time,I would be introducing us to the topic of my lesson today. It is quite open or rather obvious that we live in the third planet after the sun, and by this, it only requires series of knowledge, experience and studies for anyone to understand what I mean by the third planet after the sun. Following the aforementioned planet introduces the lesson of today. We are going to learn about the solar system and its major features describing and listing various characteristics of each planet one after the other.

THE SOLAR SYSTEM SUCCINCTLY DEFINED

Source:istock
A definition would simply describe solar system as system comprising of the sun and all other nine planets with their various satellites. Solar system in a nutshell entails and stipulates the systematic arrangement of all the nine planets with their intrinsic satellites which is mostly away from the sun. Some of the nine planets are as follows,we have them as;
-Mercury
-Jupiter
-venus
-Mars
-Earth
-Saturn
-Uranus
-Neptune and
-Pluto.
NOTE: all these nine planets of the solar system revolves around the sun in the order called elliptical orbits. Also note that a satellite means a smaller body that moves around and inside a particular planet for example: we have the moon on planet Earth and that's a natural satellite moving round the earth. Meanwhile a pathway that all planets takes to move round the sun is regarded as ORBIT.

THE PLANETS,MAJOR FEATURES AND VITAL SATELLITES

I remember how I was taught back then in the college. How Mr.Chris would stand in front of the class to give credit to his profession. He would instruct us to go by the sequence of words which says " Mr Victor enjoys morning juice sitting under new planet". Therefore, when trying to write down the planets orderly, we would arrange them in the order of the following sequence. For instance;

-Mr----- Mercury
-Victor------ Venus
-Enjoys------- Earth
-Morning------- Mercury
-Juice----------Jupiter
-Sitting--------- Saturn
-Under------- Uranus
-New------- Neptune
-Planet----------Pluto.

What a wonderful, analogical and logical sequence of words. So I would go by the sequence to describe the planets and its satellites. Note that the planets moves round the sun. So therefore, we start our explanation with the sun.

THE SUN

Source:wikipedia
We say that the other nine planets move around the sun therefore, it would definitely mean that the sun is in the centre of the planets; and to say it does not in itself rotate or move. To an extent and from research, the sun has a surface temperature of 6000 degrees centigrade and is the largest star.

BASIC FEATURES

They includes but not limited to the following,they are;

-It serves as the ultimate source of light energy and stars to other planets.
-It has galaxies and nebulas that exist in clusters although when viewed from the Earth appears singly

The nine planets and their features in the sequence as explained above. They are;

THE PLANET MERCURY

Source:wikipedia
In a nutshell, Mercury is described as the hottest, smallest and most closest planet to the sun. People,organisms,animals and plants does not live there.

BASIC FEATURES INCLUDES

-Does not support the existence of living things.
-The smallest,hottest and the most closest to the sun.
-Does not have any satellite.
-It takes shortest orbit around the sun.
-The distance of the Mercury from the sun is measured about 57600000km.
-Its diameter measures of about 4800km.

THE PLANET VENUS

From the order of sequence, venus is the second closest planet to the sun.

BASIC FEATURES INCLUDES

-Does not support life.
-It is called the Earth's twin as it is closer to the Earth and also measures the same proximity in mass,density of size with the Earth.
-Venus completes its revolution in 225 days.

• Distance away from the sun is 107 200 000 km.
  -Does not have any satellites.
  -Covers a diameter of 12 300 kilometre.

THE PLANET EARTH

Source:wikipedia
WOW! we are here presently. It is the only lively planet because it supports the living of organisms,animals,man and plants.

BASIC FEATURES INCLUDES

-It supports life because it is the only place that supports the existence of plants and animals.
-It has a natural satellite called moon which gives light in the night and revolves eastward round the earth every 27 days.

-The Earth has a diameter of 12 76 km.
-The distance between the Earth and the sun is 148 800 000 km(approximately 93003 000 miles).
-The distance between the Earth and the moon is 3/8 4629 km.

CONCLUSION

I'm delighted having logically explained the planets in the solar system. I hope one with the aid of the above statements would comprehend to the various planets in the solar system. To say- enriching and enlightening his or her brain with various features of each planet in the solar system.
..... good day to you all,once again I'm @ezeemmanuel
... remain blessed
