Solar System

The Solar System, formed 4.6 billion years ago, consists of the Sun at its center, 8 planets, over 200 moons, and countless asteroids and comets. The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are rocky and smaller, while the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) are gas and ice giants, larger and colder with many moons and rings. The Sun is essential for life on Earth, providing light and heat through nuclear fusion.

Introduction to the Solar
System
• The Solar System is like a giant family in space,
with the Sun at the center and everything else
moving around it. It formed 4.6 billion years
ago from a spinning cloud of dust and gas.
Today, it has 8 planets, over 200 moons, and
millions of asteroids and comets. The Sun’s
gravity is like an invisible rope that keeps all the
planets from floating away!
THE SUN

The Sun is the center of our solar system and is a


huge ball of hot, glowing gases. It is mostly made up
of hydrogen and helium and produces energy through
a process called nuclear fusion. This energy gives us
light and heat, making life possible on Earth. The
Sun’s gravity holds all the planets, moons, and other
objects in the solar system in their orbits. Even
though it looks small from Earth, the Sun is so large
that about one million Earths could fit inside it.
Without the Sun, there would be no light, warmth, or
life on our planet.
THE INNER PLANETS
The inner planets of the solar system include Mercury,
Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are closest to the
Sun and are also called terrestrial planets because they
have solid, rocky surfaces. They are smaller in size
compared to the outer planets and have few or no
moons. The inner planets also have no rings around
them. Because they are near the Sun, their temperatures
are generally higher. Earth is the only planet among them
known to support life, and Mars is being studied for signs
of past water and life.
THE OUTER PLANETS

The outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and


Neptune. These planets are far from the Sun and are
known as gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and ice giants
(Uranus and Neptune). They are much larger than the
inner planets and do not have solid surfaces. These
planets have many moons and all of them have ring
systems, although Saturn’s rings are the most visible.
Because they are so far from the Sun, the outer planets
are much colder than the inner ones. They are made
mostly of gases like hydrogen and helium, with thick
atmospheres and strong winds.
