How to draw a solar planet. About the planets of the solar system for children


Our planet Earth, on which we live, is part of the solar system. In the center of the solar system, a hot star, the Sun, shines brightly. Eight main planets revolve around it at different distances from the Sun. One of them, the third in a row, is our Earth.

Each planet has its own orbit, in which it moves around the sun. A complete revolution around the Sun is called a year. On Earth, it lasts 365 days. On planets that are closer to the Sun, the year lasts less, and on those that are further away, a full revolution can be several Earth years. Also, the planets rotate on their axis. One such complete revolution is called a day. On Earth, a day (revolution around its axis) is approximately 24 hours (more precisely, 23 hours 56 minutes 4 seconds).

Presentation for Children: Planets of the Solar System

The sun

A bright star located in the center of the solar system. The sun, like a red-hot ball of fire, distributes heat to its nearby planets. True, those planets that are very close to the Sun (Mercury and Venus) are very hot, and those that are farther than Mars are very cold, because warm rays hardly reach them. But on planet Earth, the temperature turned out to be neither low nor high, very convenient for the emergence and development of life on it.

Mercury


This smallest planet is closest to the Sun. At the same time, almost all the time it turns to the Sun on one side. Therefore, it is very hot on one side of Mercury and very cold on the other.

Venus


The second planet from the Sun. On it, like on Earth, there is an atmosphere, it is such an air shell. Only, unlike our earthly one, it does not consist of oxygen, but mostly carbon dioxide. Therefore, it is impossible to breathe on Venus, and on its surface it is very, very hot. So there are no plants, no animals, no bacteria.

Earth


This blue planet, the third from the Sun, is our common home. Here we live, animals, people, fish, birds - all under one roof. And the roof of the planet Earth consists of an atmosphere in which there is a huge amount of oxygen necessary for life. Here we build our world, write history, and from here we observe other planets and stars. And the planet Earth has a little girlfriend - the Moon, which is a satellite of the Earth.

Mars


Red little planet, the fourth in a row. There is very little oxygen on it, almost none. There is also almost no water, although scientists are looking for it all the time, because once it may have been on Mars a lot. Then many, many years ago, there could be rivers, seas and oceans on the planet, but then something happened and the water disappeared. This mystery has yet to be solved.

Jupiter


The largest, fifth planet in the solar system. Jupiter is made of gas and is called the gas giant. On its surface, storms and vortices of winds constantly occur, and the planet itself, despite its size, very quickly rotates around its axis, like a top.

Saturn


A beautiful and unusual planet, the sixth from the Sun. Its amazing feature, which can be seen from Earth through a telescope, is a ring around the planet. The ring looks like a disk, only in reality it is not a solid disk, but thousands and thousands of small stones, asteroid fragments and dust.

Uranus


A mysterious planet, the seventh in a row, which, for some unknown reason, lies on its side and rotates in a completely different way from other planets. Uranus has an unusual blue color and looks like a round ball with a flat surface.

Neptune


The eighth, icy, very cold planet is very far from the Sun, so the sun's rays hardly reach the surface of this blue planet. The strongest winds blow on Neptune, and therefore the weather on it is not just winter, but by cosmic standards, completely cold, so that everything on it, even gas, turns into ice.

Pluto


Once this planet was the ninth in a row and was part of the solar system, but it turned out that it was too small for the title of a planet and it is now called a dwarf planet and is not allowed to enter adult planets from the name. Maybe Pluto is still quite a baby and he just needs to grow up)

The endless space that surrounds us is not just a huge airless space and emptiness. Here everything is subject to a single and strict order, everything has its own rules and is subject to the laws of physics. Everything is in constant motion and is constantly interconnected with each other. This is a system in which each celestial body takes its specific place. The center of the Universe is surrounded by galaxies, among which is our Milky Way. Our galaxy, in turn, is formed by stars, around which large and small planets revolve with their natural satellites. Wandering objects - comets and asteroids complement the picture of a universal scale.

Our solar system is also located in this endless cluster of stars - a tiny astrophysical object by cosmic standards, to which our cosmic home - planet Earth belongs. For us earthlings, the size of the solar system is colossal and difficult to perceive. In terms of the scale of the universe, these are tiny numbers - just 180 astronomical units, or 2.693e + 10 km. Here, too, everything is subject to its own laws, has its clearly defined place and sequence.

Brief characteristics and description

The interstellar medium and the stability of the solar system are provided by the location of the sun. Its location is an interstellar cloud that enters the Orion-Cygnus arm, which in turn is part of our galaxy. From a scientific point of view, our Sun is at the periphery, 25 thousand light-years from the center of the Milky Way, if we consider the galaxy in the center plane. In turn, the movement of the solar system around the center of our galaxy is carried out in orbit. The complete revolution of the Sun around the center of the Milky Way is carried out in different ways, within 225-250 million years and is one galactic year. The orbit of the solar system has an inclination of 600 to the galactic plane. Nearby, in the vicinity of our system, other stars and other solar systems with their large and small planets are running around the center of the galaxy.

The solar system is approximately 4.5 billion years old. Like most objects in the Universe, our star was formed as a result of the Big Bang. The origin of the solar system is explained by the action of the same laws that operated and continue to operate today in the field of nuclear physics, thermodynamics and mechanics. First, a star was formed, around which, due to the centripetal and centrifugal processes taking place, the formation of planets began. The sun was formed from a dense accumulation of gases - a molecular cloud, which was the product of a colossal Explosion. As a result of centripetal processes, the molecules of hydrogen, helium, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and other elements were compressed into one solid and dense mass.

The result of grandiose and such large-scale processes was the formation of a protostar, in the structure of which thermonuclear fusion began. This long-term process, which began much earlier, we observe today, looking at our Sun after 4.5 billion years from the moment of its formation. The scale of the processes occurring during the formation of a star can be represented by assessing the density, size and mass of our Sun:

  • the density is 1.409 g / cm3;
  • the volume of the Sun is practically the same figure - 1.40927x1027 m3;
  • the mass of the star is 1.9885x1030kg.

Today our Sun is an ordinary astrophysical object in the Universe, not the smallest star in our galaxy, but far from the largest. The sun is in its mature age, being not only the center of the solar system, but also the main factor in the emergence and existence of life on our planet.

The final structure of the solar system falls on the same period, with a difference, plus or minus half a billion years. The mass of the entire system, where the Sun interacts with other celestial bodies of the Solar system, is 1.0014 M☉. In other words, all planets, satellites and asteroids, cosmic dust and particles of gases orbiting the Sun, in comparison with the mass of our star, are a drop in the sea.

In the form in which we have an idea of ​​our star and the planets orbiting the Sun - this is a simplified version. For the first time, a mechanical heliocentric model of the solar system with a clockwork was presented to the scientific community in 1704. It should be borne in mind that the orbits of the planets of the solar system do not all lie in the same plane. They rotate around at a specific angle.

The model of the solar system was created on the basis of a simpler and older mechanism - tellurium, with the help of which the position and movement of the Earth in relation to the Sun was modeled. With the help of tellurium, it was possible to explain the principle of the movement of our planet around the Sun, to calculate the duration of the earth's year.

The simplest model of the solar system is presented in school textbooks, where each of the planets and other celestial bodies occupy a certain place. It should be borne in mind that the orbits of all objects revolving around the Sun are located at different angles to the diametrical plane of the Solar system. The planets of the solar system are located at different distances from the sun, revolve at different speeds and revolve in different ways around their own axis.

A map - a diagram of the solar system - is a drawing where all objects are located in one plane. In this case, such an image gives an idea only of the dimensions of celestial bodies and the distances between them. Thanks to this interpretation, it became possible to understand the location of our planet in a number of other planets, assess the scale of celestial bodies and give an idea of ​​the enormous distances that separate us from our celestial neighbors.

Planets and other objects of the solar system

Almost the entire universe is a myriad of stars, among which there are large and small solar systems. The presence of a star with its satellite planets is a common phenomenon in space. The laws of physics are the same everywhere and our solar system is no exception.

If you ask yourself how many planets there were in the solar system and how many there are today, it is quite difficult to answer unequivocally. The exact location of 8 major planets is currently known. In addition, 5 small dwarf planets revolve around the Sun. The existence of the ninth planet is currently disputed in scientific circles.

The entire solar system is divided into groups of planets, which are arranged in the following order:

Terrestrial planets:

  • Mercury;
  • Venus;
  • Mars.

Gas planets are giants:

  • Jupiter;
  • Saturn;
  • Uranus;
  • Neptune.

All the planets presented in the list differ in structure and have different astrophysical parameters. Which planet is bigger or smaller than others? The sizes of the planets of the solar system are different. The first four objects, similar in structure to the Earth, have a solid stone surface and are endowed with an atmosphere. Mercury, Venus and Earth are the inner planets. Mars completes this group. It is followed by the gas giants: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - dense, spherical gas formations.

The process of life of the planets of the solar system does not stop even for a second. Those planets that we see in the sky today are the arrangement of celestial bodies that the planetary system of our star has at the current moment. The state that was at the dawn of the formation of the solar system is strikingly different from what is studied today.

The astrophysical parameters of modern planets are evidenced by the table, which also indicates the distance of the planets of the solar system to the sun.

The existing planets of the solar system are approximately the same age, but there are theories that there were more planets in the beginning. This is evidenced by numerous ancient myths and legends describing the presence of other astrophysical objects and catastrophes that led to the death of the planet. This is confirmed by the structure of our star system, where along with the planets there are objects that are products of violent cosmic cataclysms.

A striking example of such activity is the asteroid belt, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Here, a huge number of objects of extraterrestrial origin are concentrated, mainly represented by asteroids and minor planets. It is these irregularly shaped debris in human culture that are considered the remnants of the protoplanet Phaethon, which died billions of years ago as a result of a large-scale cataclysm.

In fact, it is believed in scientific circles that the asteroid belt was formed as a result of the destruction of a comet. Astronomers have discovered the presence of water on the large asteroid Themis and on the minor planets Ceres and Vesta, which are the largest objects in the asteroid belt. The ice found on the surface of asteroids may indicate the cometary nature of the formation of these cosmic bodies.

Previously, one of the major planets, Pluto, today is not considered a full-fledged planet.

Pluto, which was previously ranked among the large planets of the solar system, is today translated into the size of dwarf celestial bodies orbiting the sun. Pluto, along with Haumea and Makemake, the largest dwarf planets, are in the Kuiper belt.

These dwarf planets in the solar system are located in the Kuiper belt. The region between the Kuiper belt and the Oort cloud is the most distant from the Sun, however, even there, outer space is not empty. In 2005, the most distant celestial body in our solar system, the dwarf planet Eridu, was discovered there. The process of exploring the most distant regions of our solar system continues. The Kuiper Belt and the Oort Cloud, hypothetically, are the border regions of our star system, the visible border. This cloud of gas is located at a distance of one light-year from the Sun and is the region where comets, the wandering companions of our star, are born.

Characteristics of the planets of the solar system

The terrestrial group of planets is represented by the planets closest to the Sun - Mercury and Venus. These two cosmic bodies of the solar system, despite the similarity in physical structure with our planet, are a hostile environment for us. Mercury is the smallest planet in our star system, closest to the Sun. The heat of our star literally incinerates the surface of the planet, practically destroying the atmosphere on it. The distance from the planet's surface to the Sun is 57,910,000 km. In size, only 5 thousand km in diameter, Mercury is inferior to most of the large satellites dominated by Jupiter and Saturn.

Saturn's moon Titan has a diameter of over 5 thousand km, Jupiter's moon Ganymede has a diameter of 5265 km. Both satellites are second only to Mars in size.

The very first planet rushes around our star at a tremendous speed, making a complete revolution around our star in 88 Earth days. It is almost impossible to notice this small and nimble planet in the starry sky due to the close presence of the solar disk. Among the terrestrial planets, it is on Mercury that the largest daily temperature drops are observed. While the surface of the planet, facing the Sun, heats up to 700 degrees Celsius, the reverse side of the planet is immersed in the universal cold with temperatures down to -200 degrees.

The main difference between Mercury and all the planets of the solar system is its internal structure. Mercury has the largest iron-nickel inner core, which accounts for 83% of the mass of the entire planet. However, even the uncharacteristic quality did not allow Mercury to have its own natural satellites.

Behind Mercury is the closest planet to us - Venus. The distance from Earth to Venus is 38 million km, and it is very similar to our Earth. The planet has almost the same diameter and mass, slightly inferior in these parameters to our planet. However, in all other respects, our neighbor is fundamentally different from our cosmic home. The orbital period of Venus around the Sun is 116 Earth days, and the planet revolves around its own axis extremely slowly. The average temperature of the surface of Venus rotating around its axis for 224 Earth days is 447 degrees Celsius.

Like its predecessor, Venus lacks the physical conditions conducive to the existence of known life forms. The planet is surrounded by a dense atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. Both Mercury and Venus are the only planets in the solar system that are devoid of natural satellites.

The Earth is the last of the inner planets of the solar system, located at a distance of about 150 million km from the Sun. Our planet makes one revolution around the Sun in 365 days. Rotates around its own axis in 23.94 hours. The Earth is the first of the celestial bodies located on the path from the Sun to the periphery, which has a natural satellite.

Digression: The astrophysical parameters of our planet are well studied and known. Earth is the largest and densest planet of all the other inner planets in the solar system. It is here that the natural physical conditions have been preserved, under which the existence of water is possible. Our planet has a stable magnetic field that holds the atmosphere. Earth is the most well-studied planet. Subsequent study is mainly of not only theoretical interest, but also practical.

The parade of the terrestrial planets is closed by Mars. The subsequent study of this planet is mainly of not only theoretical interest, but also practical, associated with the development of extraterrestrial worlds by man. Astrophysicists are attracted not only by the relative proximity of this planet to the Earth (on average 225 million km), but also by the absence of difficult climatic conditions. The planet is surrounded by an atmosphere, although it is in an extremely rarefied state, has its own magnetic field and temperature drops on the surface of Mars are not as critical as on Mercury and Venus.

Like Earth, Mars has two satellites - Phobos and Deimos, the natural nature of which has recently been questioned. Mars is the last fourth hard planet in the solar system. Following the asteroid belt, which is a kind of inner boundary of the solar system, begins the kingdom of gas giants.

The largest cosmic celestial bodies in our solar system

The second group of planets that make up the system of our star has bright and large representatives. These are the largest objects in our solar system, which are considered outer planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the farthest from our star, and their astrophysical parameters are enormous by earthly standards. These celestial bodies differ in their massiveness and composition, which is mainly of a gaseous nature.

The main beauties of the solar system are Jupiter and Saturn. The total mass of this pair of giants would be quite enough to fit in it the mass of all the known celestial bodies of the solar system. So Jupiter - the largest planet in the solar system - weighs 1876.64328 · 1024 kg, and the mass of Saturn is 561.80376 · 1024 kg. These planets have the most natural satellites. Some of them, Titan, Ganymede, Callisto and Io, are the largest satellites in the solar system and are comparable in size to the terrestrial planets.

The largest planet in the solar system - Jupiter - has a diameter of 140 thousand km. In many respects, Jupiter is more like a failed star - a vivid example of the existence of a small solar system. This is evidenced by the size of the planet and astrophysical parameters - Jupiter is only 10 times smaller than our star. The planet rotates around its own axis quickly enough - only 10 Earth hours. The number of satellites, of which 67 have been identified, is also striking. The behavior of Jupiter and its moons is very similar to the model of the solar system. Such a number of natural satellites in one planet raises a new question, how many planets there were in the solar system at the early stage of its formation. It is assumed that Jupiter, possessing a powerful magnetic field, turned some planets into their natural satellites. Some of them - Titan, Ganymede, Callisto and Io - are the largest satellites of the solar system and are comparable in size to the terrestrial planets.

Slightly inferior in size to Jupiter is its smaller brother, the gas giant Saturn. This planet, like Jupiter, is composed primarily of hydrogen and helium, the gases that form the basis of our star. With its size, the diameter of the planet is 57 thousand km, Saturn also resembles a protostar that has stopped in its development. The number of satellites of Saturn is slightly inferior to the number of satellites of Jupiter - 62 against 67. Saturn's moon Titan, as well as Io, the moon of Jupiter, has an atmosphere.

In other words, the largest planets Jupiter and Saturn with their systems of natural satellites strongly resemble small solar systems, with their clearly defined center and system of motion of celestial bodies.

Behind the two gas giants are the cold and dark worlds, the planets Uranus and Neptune. These celestial bodies are located at a distance of 2.8 billion km and 4.49 billion km. from the Sun, respectively. Due to the great distance from our planet, Uranus and Neptune were discovered relatively recently. Unlike the other two gas giants, Uranus and Neptune contain large quantities of frozen gases - hydrogen, ammonia and methane. These two planets are also called ice giants. Uranus is smaller in size than Jupiter and Saturn and ranks third in the solar system. The planet is the cold pole of our star system. On the surface of Uranus, an average temperature of -224 degrees Celsius is recorded. Uranus differs from other celestial bodies revolving around the Sun by a strong tilt of its own axis. The planet seems to be rolling, revolving around our star.

Like Saturn, Uranus is surrounded by a hydrogen-helium atmosphere. Neptune, unlike Uranus, has a different composition. The presence of methane in the atmosphere is indicated by the blue color of the planet's spectrum.

Both planets are slowly and majestically moving around our star. Uranus orbits the Sun in 84 Earth years, and Neptune orbits our star twice as long - 164 Earth years.

Finally

Our solar system is a huge mechanism in which every planet, all satellites of the solar system, asteroids and other celestial bodies move along a clearly defined route. The laws of astrophysics operate here, which have not changed for 4.5 billion years. Dwarf planets move along the outer edges of our solar system in the Kuiper belt. Comets are frequent guests of our star system. These space objects with a periodicity of 20-150 years visit the inner regions of the solar system, flying in the visibility zone of our planet.

Space beckons with its riddles and mystery. Let's try to understand the complex structure of the Universe using simple examples. We will make a model of the solar system with the children and go on a journey to distant stars.

There are a lot of stars and planets in our Universe. They are far from each other, but we can even see some of them with the naked eye. All planets are different, and only on Earth there is life. Our Earth revolves around the Sun, and along with it seven other planets. Some planets have satellites. The Earth, for example, has the Moon.

A simple rhyme will help to remember all the planets of our solar system:

All planets in order
Any of us will call:
One is Mercury,
Two is Venus,
Three is the Earth,
Four - Mars.
Five is Jupiter
Six - Saturn,
Seven - Uranus,
Behind him is Neptune.
He is eighth in a row.

In order for this short story to resonate in a child's soul, we suggest making a visual model of the solar system, guided by one of the proposed ideas.

The universe is limitless, but for convenience, let's put part of it in a shoebox. Space in a box is easy to make, the materials are the simplest.

Remove the shoe box cover. Invite your child to paint the bottom and sides with the "color of space" - dark blue, black. Make stars from plasticine or colored cardboard and glue them to the walls of the space box. The most important part of the job is to blind all the planets in the solar system and the sun itself. Help your child to attach space objects to strings and fix them to the top wall of an inverted box.

While they were making, we remembered the names of the planets, tried to approximately keep their sizes relative to each other and fix their location relative to the Sun and neighbors.

If your kid is one of those who like to study the issue thoroughly, in all the small details, be puzzled by the appearance of the planets. Discuss why this or that planet is of this particular color, what is it connected with.

www.lassy.ru

Mercury Gray . The surface is rocky with large craters.

www.lassy.ru

Venus yellow-white. It has this color due to the dense layer of clouds of sulfuric acid.

www.lassy.ru

Earth light blue. The oceans and atmosphere give it that hue when viewed from afar. As you get closer, you can see browns, yellows and greens.

www.lassy.ru

Mars red-orange. It is rich in iron oxides, due to which the soil is colored in a characteristic color.

www.lassy.ru

Jupiter orange with white splashes. Orange is due to clouds of ammonium hydrosulfide, white is due to clouds of ammonia. There is no solid surface on Jupiter.

www.lassy.ru

Saturn light yellow. The red clouds are covered with a subtle haze of white ammonia clouds, which gives the illusion of a light yellow color. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Uranus pale blue due to methane clouds. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Neptune pale blue. Covered in methane clouds (like Uranus), but due to its distance from the Sun it seems darker. There is no hard surface.

www.lassy.ru

Pluto light brown. The rocky surface, the dirty, icy methane crust give it that hue. Sometimes it is spoken of as the 9th planet of the solar system, but it is worth knowing that not so long ago it was excluded from the list of planets and attributed to dwarfs. The astronomers have substantiated the reasons for this.

How to draw the solar system with a pencil step by step?

    To draw the solar system, you must first know and study the solar system well, and then take white blank paper, colored pencils, an original picture of the solar system (like a still life) and start with the outline of the planets and the sun, rearrange the planets correctly and then paint them. There are already very good graphic shots above, so I have attached only pictures from which you can start drawing, following my instructions.

    If you need a drawing with all the planets around the sun, then user Txajan showed how to draw the solar system completely. I want to suggest how to draw the solar system from another view.

    Very often in school, they are asked to draw the solar system. For this purpose we need colored pencils and a piece of paper.


    The first step is to draw the Sun.

    Then we proceed to the very first planet Mercury. It is a small-sized ball with a gray-brown color.

    Behind Mercury goes the green-blue Earth with the gray dot of the Moon.

    Then we draw a red Mars. It is larger than Mercury, but smaller than Earth.

    The gray shadow behind Mars symbolizes the asteroid Belt.

    Next comes the striped orange-white Jupiter.

    Then we draw the yellow Saturn.

    And behind him is the blue-blue planet Uranus.

    Well, the last planet is tiny brown Pluto.

    To draw our solar system with pencils in stages, we need the following items.

    To begin with, we need - Pencils (multi-colored), white paper and most importantly - Photo - a diagram.

    Below I have attached a Photo - a diagram so that it is convenient for you draw our solar system.

    First you need to draw the orbits of the planets (as in the diagram.)

    Then we begin to draw a general view of the planets of the solar system.

    In the beginning you need draw the sun.

    After that you need draw Planet Mercury.

    Then you need draw the planet Venus.


    Then we start draw the planet Mars.

    After Mars you need draw the planet Jupiter.

    After you drew the planet Jupiter, start draw the planet Saturn.

    After Saturn draw the planet Uranus.

    After you have drawn the planets, start drawing comets and asteroids (as in the diagram).

    So we continue as in the diagram.

    At the end, we begin to paint as in the diagram below and we get such a beautiful picture of the solar system.

    Draw the solar system for a physics lesson in different ways.

    The main principle of drawing the solar system is that it is imperative to show the sun in the center of the system, and the planets that revolve around the sun in their orbits.

    In the solar system, Mercury is closest to the sun, followed by the planet Venus, then our planet Earth, then Mars, after Mars, Jupiter, then Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

    You can draw the orbits of the planets of the solar system simply by placing circles around the sun-circle or by drawing them in the form of ellipses.

    The planets themselves are drawn in the form of circles, it is advisable to observe the size of the circles in accordance with the size of the planets, showing their approximate sizes in relation to each other.

    Solar system drawing you can just draw with a pen or felt-tip pen, or you can paint it. making the background dark.


    The solar system is the sun and other space objects that revolve around this star.

    Drawing the solar system is not so difficult anymore. You just need to know the location of certain objects / planets, their sequence and name.

    We draw the solar system with a pencil like this:

    Drawing the solar system with a pencil is not that difficult. To do this, you need to designate the center of the system - the sun. You can draw a large circle and flames from it. Then we draw a circle and a circle-planet Mercury on it. Draw another circle and the next planet on it. This is how we depict the entire planet of the solar system.

    You can depict the orbits of the planets in semicircles like this:

    The solar system is already very thoroughly drawn, then I'll just add ...

    Isn't it a beautiful photo….

    Since it is not specified which stars are needed, I propose this option.

    Drawing of planets schematic.

    And here is our planet Earth.

    All drawings are relatively light, so everyone will be able to draw them.

    The most important and main tool - an assistant in drawing our solar system - is the compass! Or, as a last resort - an mp3 disc. It will help to draw both the Sun and all planetary orbits.

    We start, perhaps, with the largest circle (this is our Sun), draw the lines of the orbits, draw the planets with a compass, and depict the stars under the guise of many points.


    I propose to draw the solar system with a pencil step by step as follows:

    Drawing steps:

    1) We start drawing with the image of the sun and nine lines around, on which we will place the planets;

    2) We begin to draw the planets in circles;

    3) Draw Saturn with a circle around the meteorites;

    4) Finish drawing with Plato;

    5) We carry out shading of the planets with a pencil.

Preparation for work

We need simple and colored pencils, glitter, an eraser, a pair of compasses, a piece of paper and a little theory. To understand how to draw the solar system correctly, let's recall the school curriculum. This will help us avoid mistakes and misunderstandings.

  1. It is impossible to convey the true dimensions and distances between cosmic bodies in the picture. After all, if the Sun is the size of a tennis ball, then the Earth should be drawn with a small dot at a distance of 4 meters from it. Therefore, for clarity, the proportions will have to be distorted.
  2. At the center of the solar system is a star called the sun. Various cosmic bodies, large and small, revolve around it in ellipsoidal orbits. The pictures usually depict the largest of them - the planets.
  3. When we were in school, we remembered by heart: there are nine planets in the solar system. However, in 2006 Pluto was officially stripped of this title. He took his place in the series of dwarf planets, which include, in addition to him, four more cosmic bodies.

How to draw the solar system with a pencil? Sketch

Let's start drawing. We put a point with a simple pencil on the left side of the sheet, placing it approximately in the middle. We draw a slightly rounded line to the center, directing it slightly upward, as shown in the diagram. Then we continue the line to the right, closer to the end of the album sheet, lifting it again. The orbits of cosmic bodies will be located on this line. We designate them with dashes, keeping in mind the size.

As you can see in the pictures, the smallest planet is Mercury, the largest is Jupiter. Decide whether you will portray Pluto or, following the scientists, exclude it from the list.

Draw a large circle on the left with a compass. This is the Sun. It should occupy about a third of a sheet, although in reality its dimensions are even larger compared to other bodies.

How to draw the planets of the solar system?

In those places where the orbits of cosmic bodies were outlined, we draw circles with a compass or by hand. First - small Mercury, then Venus and a larger Earth. Where the rounded line rises is Mars. It is larger than Mercury, but smaller than Earth and Venus. All of these are terrestrial planets. After them comes the asteroid belt, which we will depict later.


Let's start drawing the giant planets formed by their gas. Let's designate Jupiter with a fairly large circle. Saturn is slightly smaller, we draw rings around it. They consist of both small dust particles and whole blocks of ice rotating around an orbit. In fact, other giant planets of the solar system also have such rings, but they are much less pronounced. Let's designate Uranus with a smaller circle, Neptune a little larger, but both planets should be much larger than our native Earth. If you want to draw Pluto, make it very tiny. Now we erase all auxiliary lines.

Add colors

How to paint the solar system? Follow our instructions and you can't go wrong! Color the sun bright orange with the addition of red spots. Mercury is gray. For Venus, you need a yellow pencil, for Earth, a blue one. Mars is famous for its red-orange soil, which is rich in iron.

Gas planets do not have a solid surface. They are covered with clouds. On Jupiter, in addition to white clouds, there are also orange ones. We will color it with these colors. For Saturn, you need yellow, but not bright, but pale. Color the uranium blue, almost without pressing on the pencil. Neptune is exactly the same, but appears darker because it is located farther from the Sun. Let's designate Pluto light brown. Our planets are ready, it remains to add the final touches.



Finishing the drawing

It's time to depict small celestial bodies. Between Mars and Jupiter lies the asteroid belt. There are more than 600 thousand of them. In the figure, asteroids can be denoted by a set of points uniformly distributed along an ellipsoidal orbit.

Behind the planet Neptune, there are also many ice shards that make up the Kuiper belt. Pluto is one of the largest objects in this cluster. We take a pencil and use dots to depict this phenomenon. Comets occasionally fly into the solar system from here. They look like a ball, from which many straight lines of different lengths extend.

Color the outer space black. It remains to decorate the picture with tiny shining stars. Glitter can be used for this purpose. The drawing is ready.

Now you know how to draw the solar system with your child and amaze your school teacher with astronomical knowledge. We hope that you will enjoy working together a lot.

    To draw the solar system, you must first know and study the solar system well, and then take white blank paper, colored pencils, an original picture of the solar system (like a still life) and start with the outline of the planets and the sun, rearrange the planets correctly and then paint them. There are already very good graphic shots above, so I have attached only pictures from which you can start drawing, following my instructions.

    If you need a drawing with all the planets around the sun, then user Txajan showed how to draw the solar system completely. I want to suggest how to draw the solar system from another view.

    Very often in school, they are asked to draw the solar system. For this purpose we need colored pencils and a piece of paper.

    The first step is to draw the Sun.

    Then we proceed to the very first planet Mercury. It is a small-sized ball with a gray-brown color.

    Behind Mercury goes the green-blue Earth with the gray dot of the Moon.

    Then we draw a red Mars. It is larger than Mercury, but smaller than Earth.

    The gray shadow behind Mars symbolizes the asteroid Belt.

    Next comes the striped orange-white Jupiter.

    Then we draw the yellow Saturn.

    And behind him is the blue-blue planet Uranus.

    Well, the last planet is tiny brown Pluto.

    To draw our solar system with pencils in stages, we need the following items.

    To begin with, we need - Pencils (multi-colored), white paper and most importantly - Photo - a diagram.

    Below I have attached a Photo - a diagram so that it is convenient for you draw our solar system.

    First you need to draw the orbits of the planets (as in the diagram.)

    Then we begin to draw a general view of the planets of the solar system.

    In the beginning you need draw the sun.

    After that you need draw Planet Mercury.

    Then you need draw the planet Venus.

    Then we start draw the planet Mars.

    After Mars you need draw the planet Jupiter.

    After you drew the planet Jupiter, start draw the planet Saturn.

    After Saturn draw the planet Uranus.

    After you have drawn the planets, start drawing comets and asteroids (as in the diagram).

    So we continue as in the diagram.

    At the end, we begin to paint as in the diagram below and we get such a beautiful picture of the solar system.

    Draw the solar system for a physics lesson in different ways.

    The main principle of drawing the solar system is that it is imperative to show the sun in the center of the system, and the planets that revolve around the sun in their orbits.

    In the solar system, Mercury is closest to the sun, followed by the planet Venus, then our planet Earth, then Mars, after Mars, Jupiter, then Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

    You can draw the orbits of the planets of the solar system simply by placing circles around the sun-circle or by drawing them in the form of ellipses.

    The planets themselves are drawn in the form of circles, it is advisable to observe the size of the circles in accordance with the size of the planets, showing their approximate sizes in relation to each other.

    Solar system drawing you can just draw with a pen or felt-tip pen, or you can paint it. making the background dark.

    The solar system is the sun and other space objects that revolve around this star.

    Drawing the solar system is not so difficult anymore. You just need to know the location of certain objects / planets, their sequence and name.

    We draw the solar system with a pencil like this:

    Drawing the solar system with a pencil is not that difficult. To do this, you need to designate the center of the system - the sun. You can draw a large circle and flames from it. Then we draw a circle and a circle-planet Mercury on it. Draw another circle and the next planet on it. This is how we depict the entire planet of the solar system.
