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?

There are billions of other solar systems in our galaxy
and there are billions of galaxies in the Universe.

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.

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.

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.

If you wanted to approximate the size differences of the planets in
our solar system, you could use these foods to do it. Unscramble
the letters below each food to reveal which planet is which.
