What Exactly is a Planet?<br />
In our Solar System, a planet is definted as a celestial body which is<br />
in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic<br />
equilibrium (a nearly round shape), has “cleared the neighborhood”<br />
around its orbit and is not a moon.<br />
There are actually three types of planets in our solar system - Terrestrial<br />
Planets, Gas Giant Planets, and Dwarf Planets. In this book<br />
we cover the Terrestrial Planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars and<br />
the Gas Giant Planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.) We do<br />
not cover the Dwarf Planets (currently known: Ceres, Pluto, Haumea,<br />
Makemake and Eris) simply because we do not have enough information<br />
about these planets which are farther away and more difficult<br />
to study!<br />
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims<br />
his handiwork.” Psalm 19:1
Facts About the Sun<br />
• The Sun’s diameter is 865,000 miles; that’s 109 times the diameter<br />
of the Earth.<br />
• Mass: 1.98892 x 1030 kg - That’s 333,000 times the mass of<br />
Earth.<br />
• Surface gravity of the Sun: 27.94 g - the gravity of the Sun at the<br />
surface is 28 times the gravity of the Earth.<br />
• Volume of the Sun: 1.412 x 1018 km3 - That means you could fit 1.3<br />
Million planets the size of the earth into the sun!<br />
• Density of the Sun: 1.622 x 105 kg/m3<br />
• Everything in the Solar System orbits around the Sun, including 8<br />
planets and their moons, many dwarf planets, asteroids, comets<br />
and dust.

Glossary of Terms<br />
Planet: a celestial body which is in orbit around the Sun, has sufficient<br />
mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium (a nearly round<br />
shape), has “cleared the neighborhood” around its orbit, and is not a<br />
moon.<br />
Orbit: the curved path of a celestial object or spacecraft around a<br />
star, planet, or moon, especially a periodic elliptical revolution.<br />
Gravity: the force that attracts a body toward the center of the<br />
earth, or toward any other physical body having mass. For most<br />
purposes Newton’s laws of gravity apply, with minor modifications<br />
to take the general theory of relativity into account.<br />
AU (Astronomical Unit): For general reference, we can say that one<br />
astronomical unit (AU) represents the mean distance between the<br />
Earth and our sun. The AU is approximately 150 million kilometers or<br />
93 million miles.<br />
