Chase Comet’s Amazing Adventure
in Space
“Hi I'm Chase Comet, Astronaut Extraordinaire.
Welcome to our space adventure!”
Our Ship
Buckle your seat belts and get ready for an
awesome adventure as we blast in to space!
3…2…1… LIFT OFF!!!
“Hang on! Here we go!!!
“Here we are! Isn’t it
pretty?”
Here we are. Oh! Look at all the planets in our
solar system…
The Sun
“What’s that big bright light over there?”
 The Sun is the only part of the Solar System
that is burning and exploding every second
 The Sun is the only thing that produces heat
in our Solar System
 From Earth, the Sun appears to rise in the
East and set in the West, but the sun never
moves… WE DO!
Mercury – Closest Planet to
the Sun
 Mercury is closest to the Sun in our Solar
System, which makes it the hottest planet.
 Mercury is the smallest planet in our Solar
System
 It moves the fastest around the Sun, but
rotates very slowly on its axis
 A day on Mercury lasts 176 Earth Days
(between our sunrise and sunsets)
Venus “The Morning & Evening
Star
 Venus is the hottest of all planets.
 It is known as the Morning Star & The Evening
Star to our Earth depending on the time of
year.
 9 out of 10 of the planet’s landforms are
Volcanoes
Earth
 Earth is the only planet that has life on it
 The reason why is Mercury is too hot Venus is
too hot and Mars is too cold for living things
 It is the third planet from the sun
 It orbits the sun while spinning to the East
The Moon (Earth’s Satellite)
 The moon revolves around the Earth,
meaning it is Earth’s satellite
 From Earth, it appears to set in the West
 The moon never looks the same from Earth
two days in a row because the Earth’s shadow
blocks the sunlight from hitting it.
Mars – the Red Planet
 Mars is known as the Red Planet because of
the way it looks in the sky in outer space
 It is the fourth planet away from the sun, and
the first spacecraft to land there was the
Mariner 4 in 1965
 Because water has been found on Mars it is at
the top of the list for
possible life-bearing
planets.
Jupiter – A Heavenly Giant
 The largest planet in our solar system
 Rotates so quickly its days are only 10 hours
long
 It takes 12 Earth years for Jupiter to orbit
around the Sun.
 The great red spot on Jupiter is a storm that’s
been going on for 300 years
 You could put 100 Earths in Jupiter’s red spot
Saturn – the planet with
Rings
 Saturn is the second largest planet
 It has seven rings around it. They are made up
of space junk… billions of pieces of rocks and
dust
 Saturn is so light it could float on water if
there was an ocean large enough to hold it.
All good things must come to
an end!
Chase Comet says “It’s been a great trip, but we
live on the most beautiful planet of all, so let’s
go home!”
There’s No Place Like Home!
“Thanks for coming along with me on our
exciting Outer Space Adventure!”
“I hope you enjoyed your trip with me into the
great big wide open space. – Come again
some other time and we’ll learn so much
more!”
