10)The solar system is really big<br />In 1977, NASA launched the Voyager mission. The first spacecraft, Voyager 1, became the first human-made object to ever enter interstellar space. It was 2012. <br /><br />9) Uranus spins sideways<br />I'm sure you already know Uranus is basically a cute ball. This is what we have always been taught in class, but this gas giant hides a secret: it is actually a weird planet. <br />8) The Moon has no atmosphere<br /><br />The Earth has an atmosphere that protects us from all kinds of bad radiation, but not all the objects in the solar system are this lucky.<br />7) The sun contains 99.8 % of all mass in the Solar System<br /><br />Compared to Earth, the Sun is enormous! <br />6) There are probably more than 200 moons in the Solar System<br />yes, you've got it right! 200 is the number of moons in the Solar System, and there might be actually more!<br />5) There's a snowman in the outer solar system<br />What scientists recently discovered is that there's a tiny object orbiting the Sun out in a region of space called the Kuiper Belt, and it has the shape of a snowman: its name is Ultima Thule.<br />You can find the Kuiper belt well beyond the orbit of Neptune, and since our snowman lies out in that region, we refer to it as a “trans-Neptunian object”. <br />4) Pluto isn’t the only dwarf planet in our Solar System <br /><br />The first time you may have heard the term ‘dwarf planet’ was when Pluto got demoted to one in 2006.<br />3) Jupiter's great red spot is shrinking<br /><br />We all knew Jupiter is the solar system largest planet, but did you know it also hosts the solar system's largest storm?<br />2) Olympus Mons is the tallest mountain in the Solar System<br /><br />The tallest mountain on Earth is mount Everest, 29,031.69 feet high.<br />1) The Sun lies about 8 kiloparsecs away from the galactic center.<br /><br />The Solar System (and Earth) is located about 25,000 light-years or 8 kiloparsecs to the galactic center, So basically, if you were to think of the Milky Way as a big record, we would be the spot that’s roughly halfway between the center and the edge.<br />- -<br />"If You happen to see any content that is yours, and we didn't give credit in the right manner please let us know at Lorenzovareseaziendale@gmail.com and we will correct it immediately"<br /><br />"Some of our visual content is under an Attribution-ShareAlike license.
