The document discusses various topics related to Earth and its neighbors in space. It begins by describing the Sun, Moon, and stars, including how the Sun rises and sets and that the Moon reflects sunlight. It then discusses the phases of the Moon and notes that Neil Armstrong was the first person to walk on the Moon in 1969 as part of the Apollo 11 mission. The document also briefly mentions notable astronauts like Sunita Williams and Kalpana Chawla. It provides an illustration of the Solar System and notes that India's Mars Orbiter Mission, also called Mangalyaan, launched to study Mars, the fourth planet from the Sun. It concludes by defining spacecraft and astronaut.Solar System

The Solar System consists of the Sun and objects that orbit it, including 8 planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets. The inner Solar System contains terrestrial planets like Earth that are composed of rock and metals. The outer Solar System contains gas giants like Jupiter and Saturn that account for most of the mass. Objects follow elliptical orbits around the Sun, with closer objects moving faster according to Kepler's laws of planetary motion. The Solar System is believed to have formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud.rotation and revolution

The document discusses different types of rotational and orbital motions of objects in space, including the Earth. It explains that the Earth's rotation on its axis causes day and night, while its revolution around the sun over the course of a year leads to seasonal variations due to changes in the sun's angle and day length. Examples of rotation are a top spinning on its axis or the Earth each day, while examples of revolution are the Earth orbiting the sun each year or the moon revolving around the Earth.Phases of the Moon.ppt

The document discusses the phases of the moon. It begins by outlining the intended learning outcomes of identifying moon phases, appreciating the moon's importance, and demonstrating moon phases. It then defines key terms like orbit, rotate, waxing, waning, gibbous, crescent, and revolve. The document explains that the moon's phases are caused by its revolution around Earth and the sunlight it reflects towards Earth. It provides details on each phase - new moon, waxing crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, full moon, waning gibbous, last quarter, and waning crescent. It includes activities, assessments, and references.Solar system

Galaxies contain billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity. The Milky Way galaxy is our galaxy and contains over 100 billion stars. Galaxies can be elliptical or irregular shapes. Our solar system consists of the sun and eight planets plus dwarf planets orbiting the sun. Planets can be inner planets like Earth that orbit close to the sun or outer planets like Jupiter that orbit farther from the sun. A light year is the distance light travels in one year and galaxies can be many light years across. The zodiac signs have roots in ancient cultures and are based on Greek myths. Constellations are groupings of stars named by ancient astronomers.The Outer Planets

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are the largest planets in our solar system and are mainly composed of gases like hydrogen and helium, giving them low density. Most have a similar structure with an atmosphere of gases, a liquid hydrogen mantle, and a small molten rock core. Jupiter is the largest and has a prominent Great Red Spot storm and over 60 moons. Saturn is notable for its extensive ring system. Uranus and Neptune are both blue-green due to methane in their atmospheres.Galaxies

Galaxies come in different shapes and sizes. The largest are spiral galaxies which have a flattened disk with spiral arms and a bulge in the center. Elliptical galaxies have no definite shape and little gas or dust. Irregular galaxies have an irregular shape and active star formation. Well-known galaxies include the Andromeda Galaxy, Whirlpool Galaxy, Sombrero Galaxy, and Sunflower Galaxy.The Solar System Scrapbook

Stars are giant balls of gas that produce light and heat through nuclear fusion at their cores. They vary greatly in size, from dwarf stars like our Sun to massive supergiant stars over 200 times the Sun's diameter. Stars end their lives in different ways depending on their mass - smaller stars become white dwarfs, while larger stars explode as supernovae or collapse into neutron stars and other compact objects.Unit 3 -4-Universe, Solar System and Earth

Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun and the least explored. It is very difficult to study from Earth due to its proximity to the Sun, which means it never gets more than 28 degrees from the Sun's glare. Mercury is the smallest planet and fastest planet in its orbit, taking 88 days to revolve around the Sun.
