Script: Expected Duration of presentation: 5 to 7 mins

Introduction:
Reporter 1: Good morning/afternoon everyone! Hi my name is/ I am (state your name/
sabihin ang pangalan)
Reporter 2: and I am … (state your name/ sabihin ang pangalan)
Both: And we are from the group number 2!
R1: Today we are going to discuss the “Large scale features of the solar system”.
(pakita yung first slide)
R2: Yes! Before that let us have a short review about the solar system to avoid any
confusions later. ( proceed sa questions.)
Questions:
1. (blank) is the region in our solar system that separates the inner planets from the
jovian or outer planets. Answer: Asteroid Belt
2. Give me an example of Inner planets ( mag tawag okaya pwedeng mag
volunteer.) Answer: Mercury, Venus, Earth or Mars.
3. Now Give me an example of Outer Planets. ( mag tawag okaya pwedeng mag
volunteer.) Answer: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, or Neptune. (Kung may sasagot
ng pluto pwede pang i-consider pero matagal ng wala si pluto sa solar system
naten. In 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a Dwarf Planet.)
Report:
R1: feature number 1 (basahin)
R2: (explain. Para ma explain pumunta sa next slide which is ung pie chart) Explanation
nung pie chart: As you can see on the chart 98%(orange) of the mass is
concentrated at the sun while the remaining 2%(yellow) of the mass is coming
from the other 8 planets. (kung gusto nyo para tumagal ng onti sabihin nyo kung ano
ung walong planeta nayon in order ha para di sila mailto)
R2: move on into the next features.
R1 : basahin ung feature 2
R2: basahin ang feature 3
R1: (explain. Para uli ma explain, next slide uli then explain) Explanation: Do you see
that elliptical plane? (ituro ung elliptical plane) that’s where the planets orbit
(feature 2). And you all notice that all of them is circling around the sun (feature
3).
R2: that’s right! One more thing as you all notice that the innermost planet is revolving
so fast ( habang sinasabi ituro si mercury to mars) while the outermost planets moves
so slow.(ganon din ditto kay Jupiter to Neptune naman). And here is feature number 4.
R1: (basahin at iexplain) : that is because of the distance of a planet to the sun… the
farther the planet is, the longest it will travel to its orbit.
R2: Now we will present to you which planet is the fastest and which planet is the
slowest.
R1: Mercury – needs 87.97 earth days to orbit the sun. Mercury is the nearest planet
to the sun. With the distance of 57.91 million km away.
R2: Venus- needs 224.7 earth days to orbit the sun. Venus is the second planet
closest to the sun. with the distance of 108.2 million km away.
R1: Earth – needs 365.26 earth days to orbit the sun. Earth is the third planet closest
to the sun. with the distance of 149.6 million km away.
R2: Mars – needs 686.971 earth days to orbit the sun. Mars is 227.9 million km away
from the sun.
R1: Jupiter – needs 11.862 earth years to orbit the sun. Jupiter is the first in line in the
outermost planet and 778.5 million km away from the sun.
R2: Saturn – needs 29 earth years to orbit the sun. Saturn is 1.434 billion km away
from the sun.
R1: Uranus – needs 84 earth years to orbit the sun. Uranus is very far away and the
seventh planet from the sun with the distance of 2.871 billion km away.
R2: Neptune – needs 165 earth years to orbit the sun. Neptune is the farthest of all
with a distance of 4.495 billion km away from the sun.
R1: you see. Its because of their distance from the sun. the nearest the fastest and the farthest
the slowest and because the orbit of the planets are elliptical and on a same plane.

R2: Feature 5 (basahin then ipakita ang next slide at paki explain).explanation: our solar system
is properly arrange and have a own plane to orbit the sun to prevent the collision of each planet.

R1: Look at the picture. Sun is the center, followed by the mercury, venus, earth, mars, the
asteroid belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune in addition, after the Neptune there is pluto
and lastly the Kuiper belt where the left over of the solar system are located.

After discussion Questions:

1. Percentage of concentrated mass in the sun. Answer: 98%

2. Which one is the fastest? Neptune or Uranus ? Answer: Uranus
3. the center of our solar system. Answer : Sun
4. complete the following statement: orbits of the planets are _______ Answer: elliptical
and are on the same plane
5. What have you learned from this lesson? 6. Give me the 5 features of solar system.
Large scale features of The Solar System
1. Much of the mass of the Solar System is concentrated at the center (Sun) while angular
momentum is held by the outer planets.
2. Orbits of the planets elliptical and are on the same plane.
3. All planets revolve around the sun.
4. The periods of revolution of the planets increase with increasing distance from the Sun; the
innermost planet moves fastest, the outermost, the slowest;
5. All planets are located at regular intervals from the Sun

The orbits of the planets are coplanar because during the Solar System's formation, the planets formed
out of a disk of dust which surrounded the Sun. Because that disk of dust was a disk, all in a plane, all of
the planets formed in a plane as well.

Rings and disks are common in astronomy. When a cloud collapses, the conservation of angular
momentum amplifies any initial tiny spin of the cloud. As the cloud spins faster and faster, it collapses
into a disk, which is the maximal balance between gravitational collapse and centrifugal force created by
rapid spin. The result is the coplanar planets, the thin disks of spiral galaxies, and the accretion disks
around black holes.
