ASTORIA One way to remember the order of the planets in our solar system is to make up a sentence with each word starting with the first letter of a planet, starting with the one closest to the sun. This example worked when Pluto was still considered a planet: Our Solar System formed in the Milky Way galaxy about 4.6 billion years ago. The sun is at the center of the solar system. Eight planets and their natural satellites which include Earth’s moon, dwarf planets, asteroids, comets and meteoroids orbit or revolve around the sun because of its gravitational pull. Can you make up a new sentence without a word starting with P? ASTORIA | 503-556-0410 There are billions of other solar systems in our galaxy and there are billions of galaxies in the Universe. Sunspire Health Space junk is a major problem. Some of it is very large, such as burnt-out rocket stages, dead spacecraft, and a few tools lost during spacewalks. Working satellites can crash into the space junk, creating more space junk. Sometimes space junk falls back to the Earth. Astoria Pointe The Rosebriar 263 W Exchange • Astoria | (877) 435-7790 NORTHWEST READY MIX Our solar system has 8 planets. (Pluto is now considered a dwarf planet.) Scientists continue to study our fellow planets, even though they are far, far away. Do the math to find out how long it would take to get from Earth to each planet in our solar system. 950 Olney Ave • Astoria 503-325-3562 1410 COMMERCIAL STREET Number Game ASTORIA 503-325-5511 Each player needs a page from the sports section. In one minute, each player circles as many numbers as they can. Who can circle the most? Who can circle the most over 50? Whose numbers add up to the largest sum? Whose numbers add up to the lowest sum? NOTE: This is not an easy question to answer. The length of time depends upon many different factors, including the spacecraft used and the location of each planet in its orbit. The time periods here are approximated and refer to the previous spacecraft that flew to or near each planet. Great Ocean Da Yang Seafoods LTD.
