Key Vocabulary
Asteroid
large space rock covered with craters; most asteroids orbit the
sun in the asteroid "belt" located between Mars and Jupiter; asteroids
can be as small as a few hundred meter wide to as big as 965 km
(600 miles) wide
dwarf planet
object orbiting the sun that is big and heavy enough to
resemble a planet, but not quite big enough to have its own clear orbit
around the sun; Pluto is a dwarf planet
galaxy
grouping of billions of stars held together by gravity whose shapes
include spiral, elliptical, and irregular; our solar system is part of the spiral-
shaped Milky Way Galaxy
gas planet
sometimes called a Jovian, or giant, planet, which is made of
mostly gas and lacks a clearly defined surface; includes Jupiter, Saturn,
Neptune, and Uranus
inner planets
the first four planets that orbit the sun before the asteroid
belt; includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
moon
a natural satellite orbiting a planet
orbit
elliptical path followed by planets and other space objects as they
revolve around other objects of greater gravity, like the sun
outer planets
the five planets that orbit the sun outside the asteroid belt;
includes Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, Uranus, and Pluto (dwarf planet)
rocky planet
solid-surfaced planet that is also called a terrestrial planet;
includes Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars
solar system
consists of a star and all the objects orbiting that start along
with any other material contained in the system; our solar system includes
the sun, its eight planets, their moons, and all the other celestial bodies and
materials that orbit the sun, including dwarf planets, comets, and asteroids
star
stars are giant burning ball of hydrogen and helium gas that give off
both light and heat; red and orange stars are cooler than the hotter white
or blue colored stars; the sun, although large to everyone on Earth, is
considered to be an average star in size (about 1,392,000 km or 864,000
miles across).
Turn your whiteboard into an out-of-this-world adventure with this colorful
set of magnets. Go beyond decoration and use the magnets for discussion
and sorting activities such as planet order, size, planet type, and more!
Care Instructions
Write on magnets with a dry or wet-erase marker for multiple uses. Test
your marker on the corner of a magnet to make sure marks erase. Erase
wet-erase marks with a damp cloth. Do not saturate the magnet. Too much
water will damage the product. Do not bend the magnets as this will
decrease their magnetism.
