    SOLAR SYSTEM
    Meaning Of Solar System
    The solar system consists 
    of the sun and everything
    that orbits, or travels
    around, the sun. This
    includes the eight planets
    and their moons, dwarf
    planets, and countless
    asteroids, comets, and
    other small, icy objects.
    However, even with all
    these things, most of the
    solar system is empty
    space.
    Components Of Solar System
    In total, our solar system
    contains one star(the
    sun), four terrestrial
    inner planets(Mercury,
    Venus, Earth and Mars),
    and four outer gas
    giants(Jupiter, Saturn,
    Uranus and Neptune). It
    also contains thousands
    of comets and over 1
    million asteroids.
    Meaning Of A Planet
    A planet is any of the large
    bodies that orbit the sun,
    including Mercury, Venus,
    Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
    Uranus and Neptune, in order
    of closeness to the sun.
    The Eight Planets
    Descriptions Of Each Planet
    MERCURY
    Mercury is the first of
    all the four terrestrial
    planets. This means
    it is mostly made up
    of rocks. It is the
    smallest of the
    terrestrial planets.
    Due to its closeness
    to the sun, it is very
    difficult to see
    mercury.
    VENUS
    Of all the planets, Venus is
    the most similar to Earth.
    In fact, Venus is often
    called Earth’s “sister”
    planet. As similar as it is in
    some ways, however, it is
    also very different in
    others.
    Earth and Venus are very
    similar in size. The two
    planets are very close to
    each other as they orbit
    the Sun. Venus is the most
    visible planet in the night
    sky.
    EARTH
    The earth is the only
    planet known where
    life exists. While other
    planets may have small
    amounts of ice or
    steam, the Earth is 2/3
    water. Earth has
    perfect conditions for a
    breathable
    atmosphere.
    Earth is the largest of
    the terrestrial planets
    and the fifth largest in
    the solar system.
    MARS
    No planet has sparked
    the imaginations of
    humans as much as
    Mars. It may be the
    reddish color of Mars, or
    the fact that it can often
    be easily seen in the
    night sky, that has
    caused people to wonder
    about this close
    neighbour of ours. Even
    if it is one of the
    terrestrial planets,
    scientists aren’t sure if
    life can survive there.
    JUPITER
    The planet Jupiter is the
    first of the gas giants
    planets, made mostly of
    gas. Jupiter is first among
    the planets in terms of
    size and mass. The “Great
    Red Spot” on Jupiter is
    actually a raging storm.
    This giant planet comes in
    first again when it comes
    to giving off heat. The
    core of Jupiter may be
    made of liquid rock.
    SATURN
    Most people know about the
    rings around Saturn, because
    they are the brightest and
    most colorful. These rings are
    made mainly out of ice
    particles orbiting the planet.
    While the rings themselves
    seem big, the particles are
    very small. Saturn is the
    second largest planet. It is the
    farthest planet from the Earth
    that can be seen without a
    telescope. It appears flat at
    the poles because its great
    rotational speed makes the
    middle of the planet budge.
    URANUS
    Uranus is the first planet so
    far away from the Earth that
    it can only be seen with the
    use of a telescope. As
    astronomers studied the
    object more closely, they
    discovered that it had
    circular orbit around the
    Sun. Uranus is so far from
    the Sun that it takes 84 years
    to complete an orbit of the
    Sun. It is the only planet
    that spins on its side, so
    each pole is tilted away from
    the Sun for half its orbit.
    NEPTUNE
    It is the most
    distant planet from
    the Sun. It takes a
    very long time- 165
    years– to orbit the
    Sun. Neptune was
    named after the
    Roman god of the
    sea because it is so
    far out in the deep
    “sea” of space.
    CONCLUSION
    In conclusion, the solar
    system is a fascinating and
    dynamic collection of
    celestial bodies, each with
    its own unique
    characteristics.
