A solar system problem solving environment the aim of this project was to build and demonstrate a problem solving environment that exhibits computational steering. Pluto, neptune, uranus, saturn, jupiter, the asteroid belt, the sun, mercury, venus, earth and its moon, and mars. Only mercury and venus, the two planets closest to the sun, are moonless. Because the sun is the largest object in the system and all the other bodies orbit around it, it became known as the solar system. Our solar system is so big it is almost impossible to imagine its size if you use ordinary units like feet or miles. Most planets have at least one moon of their own, and the giant planets have dozens. Mercury, venus, earth and mars, showing the relative sizes. There are a total eight planets in the solar system. More than 150 moons orbit worlds in our solar system. Students create a scale model of planetary distances in the solar system. The name of our system comes from the old latin word for the sun. The modules and system are ul listed to standard 1703. Among the planets, moons are more common in the outer reaches of the solar system. Known as natural satellites, they orbit planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, and other debris.
Mercury and venus are moonfree, mars has two small moons, and earth has just one. The system has been load tested by sharp to 50 psf. Our solar system consists of our star, the sun, and everything bound to it by gravity the planets mercury, venus, earth, mars, jupiter, saturn, uranus and neptune, dwarf planets such as pluto, dozens of moons and millions of asteroids, comets and meteoroids. The planets are divided in the two groups inner planets and outer planets. Planets, asteroids, and comets are also part of the solar system. It is a good way to demonstrate the vast distances among the outer planets. In depth our solar system nasa solar system exploration.
