My name is Fon. I live in a far 

away galaxy not known yet. So 

shh! Today I'm going to be your 

tour guide for the day. Today you 

are going to learn about the Solar 

System.

This here next to me is what The Big 

Bang would of looked like! This would of 

happened about 13.7 BILLION years 

ago!! The Big bang is what scientist 

believe is what happened to create the 

universe. It all started from nothing and 

formed into what we call the universe 

today!

Next in the time line would be something called 

a Solar nebula! This is caused by when a star 

explodes. When something like this explodes it 

causes a ring to be formed because gravity 

implodes on the object. This belt or ring is now 

where all of our planets sit.

Fon had to go away for a bit. So I'm here to help 

out. The picture next to me, is what I look like. I was 

formed about 4.6 billion years ago. I was formed 

because when the nebula was done exploding, I 

gathered the extra material in the middle and 

created myself. If some got close enough to me they 

could die from the heat. That is why your mom and 

dad always tell you that you should never look me 

straight!

Sorry about that! Where did I leave off at??? Oh yeah Mercury. Mercury 

was created by mainly the same way of the solar system as a whole! 

Material was collected together to form a planet. When the planet was 

large enough it gained a gravitational pull. This causes it to orbit! 

Though scientist believe that over time something must of caused some 

of mercury to disappear, because now the crust in much thinner than 

the core! Mercury is also considered a terrestrial planet!

This here is Venus. It isn't actually this color in real life. This here is 

showing the elevation on Venus. It was created the same way as 

Mercury. Over time it collected material and created it's gravitational pull. 

Some interesting facts is that it is very similar to the Earth, because of 

mass, shape and density. It also was named after the greek god of love. 

A cool fact is that the planet is the hottest surface temperature. It is 

covered in clouds due to the gasses that are surrounding it. Also it would 

set in the east and rise in the west if you were sitting on the Sun!

For everyone reading this, you should know this planet! This is your 

home!!! Wow I bet I don't know as much as someone from your 

planet so I'm going to let Mr. Smith take this one!

Hello! Earth went through many stages to get where it is now! First it 

started collecting material just like the rest. Well then it went into a 

face called Hadean. It is called this because during this time Earth was 

being boom-bared by meters and other things. This caused the care to 

become the flaming hot molten that it is now today! Then comets with 

ice were shooting by and got sucked into the earth and caused the 

atmosphere to form and allow water vapor to be formed. As more got 

sucked in, it cooled the earth's surface and created all the oceans that 

we now see today! Then slowly the continents started shaping!

Mars was created the same way as the other planets. After the 

Nebula it started to gather smaller particles of material to create it. 

Then slowly Mars started to pull in more things by the gravitational 

pull, and soon there were meters hitting it. This is what caused all 

the craters that are on the planet today! As everything started to 

cool it caused the layers to thicken and form to the way that they 

are today! Slowly then gases started to get clogged around the 

planet and caused an atmosphere to form. This all took place over 

100,000 years ago!
