Module 9
Class 6 Social Studies
Critical and Creative Thinking
An introduction to our Solar System.
The Solar System includes the Sun, the Earth (where you are now!) and all
of the other planets, asteroids and comets that go around it.
You may think that the Earth is a pretty big place, but the Earth isn't even the
biggest planet in the Solar System.
The biggest planet is Jupiter - you could fit 1,321 Earths inside Jupiter. The
Sun is even bigger than Jupiter - it would take 1.3 million planets the size of
Earth to fill the same volume as the Sun.
Top 10 facts:
1. Everything in the Solar System revolves around the Sun. The Sun is a star - a
massive ball of hot gas that gives off light and heat.
2. There are eight planets that orbit around the Sun.
3. The biggest planet is Jupiter, and the smallest planet is Mercury.
4. The Earth is the only planet that we know has life on it.
5. The Earth rotates on its axis. It takes one day i.e 24 hours to complete a rotation.
6. It takes 365 days for the Earth to complete one circle around the Sun. We call this
a year.
7. The Sun is just one of hundreds of billions of stars in the galaxy that we
live in, which is called the Milky Way. The whole Universe has at least
100 billion galaxies in it.
8. You are held onto the surface of the Earth by a force called gravity. This is the
same force that keeps the Earth and the other planets orbiting around the Sun.
9. Not everything in the Solar system orbits directly around the Sun. The Moon orbits
around the Earth.
*Till recently (August 2006), Pluto was also considered a planet. However, in a
meeting of the International Astronomical Union, a decision was taken that Pluto like
other celestial objects (Ceres, 2003, UB313) discovered in recent past may be called
'dwarf planet.'
Now on a plain page draw the solar system and colour the planets as per the clues
given below.
1. Earth is the third planet closest to the sun. Colour Earth green and blue
2. Saturn is the sixth closest planet to the sun. Colour Saturn yellow
3. Jupiter is the largest planet. Colour Jupiter orange.
4. Mercury is closest to the sun. Colour Mercury grey.
5. The second planet from the sun is Venus. Colour Venus pink.
6. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. Colour Mars red.
7. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun. Colour Uranus light blue.
8. The farthest planet is Neptune. Colour it purple.​
