The document describes the eight planets in our solar system - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune - as well as the Sun and Moon. It provides key details about each planet's size, position from the Sun, and surface features. The Sun is described as the biggest object in the Solar System that burns at its center and the planets orbit around it. The Moon is mentioned as Earth's natural satellite that can be seen in the night sky.

Mercury: Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun in the Solar
System. As well as being very hot, it features a barren, crater
covered surface which looks similar to the Moon.
Venus: Venus is the second closest planet to the Sun. It is similar in size to Earth and features thick a thick atmosphere which locks in heat as the surface rages with active volcanoes.
Earth: Earth is the fifth largest planet in the Solar System and third from the Sun. It was formed around four and a half billion years ago and is the only place in the Universe where life is known to exist.
Mars: Mars, or the 'Red Planet' as it is sometimes known, is the fourth planet from the Sun. It features a dusty, rocky surface, relatively calm conditions and a thin atmosphere.
Jupiter: Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. It features the famous Red Spot and a large number of orbiting moons.
Saturn: Saturn is the second largest planet in our solar system, the sixth planet from the Sun and features an impressive system of rings.
Uranus: Uranus is the third largest planet in the Solar System and seventh planet from the Sun. Uranus rolls like a barrel rather than spinning like Earth and was the first planet discovered by telescope.
Neptune: Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and is nearly four times the size of Earth. It features strong winds and violent weather.
Sun: The Sun is a star and the biggest object in the Solar System, it burns brightly in the center as planets and other objects orbit around it. It has a diameter around 110 times bigger than the Earths and is located around 150 million kilometres (93 million miles) away.
Moon: The Moon is a natural satellite which orbits the Earth. It is around a quarter the size of Earth and can be easily seen in the night sky. While other planets in the Solar System have moons, they are usually referred to by name, such as Jupiters Ganymede, or as natural satellites.
