![SUN
The Sun is the star at the center of the Solar System. It is by far the most important source of
energy for life on Earth.The Sun is a nearly perfect spherical ball of hot plasma.
PLANETS
A planet (from Ancient Greek), meaning "wandering star") is an astronomical
object orbiting a star.
ASTEROIDS
Asteroids are minor planets, especially those of the inner Solar System.The larger
ones have also been called planetoids.
MOON
The Moon (Latin: Luna) is Earth's only natural satellite.[e][f][8] Although not the largest natural
satellite in the Solar System, among the satellites of major planets it is the largest relative to
the size of the object it orbits (its primary).[g][h] It is the second-densest satellite among those
whose densities are known (after Jupiter's satellite Io)
COMETS
A comet is an icy small Solar System body that, when passing close to the Sun, heats up and
begins to outgas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail.These
phenomena are due to the effects of solar radiation and the solar windupon the nucleus of the
comet.

- 3. Throughout the MilkyWay, and other galaxies like it, are gigantic swirling clouds of dust and gas known as nebula. It is within nebula that stars are born. Our star, the Sun, was created in one such nebula. Something, perhaps the shock wave from an exploding supernova (dying star) triggered dust particles to be drawn together to form a dense spherical cloud.The accumulation of dust set off a chain reaction. As the core of the cloud attracted more dust, its gravitational pull increased. More and more dust was sucked in and the cloud collapsed in on itself. As this happened, the rotation of the cloud increased in speed, as happens when spinning ice skaters pull in their arms.The rotational forces at the equator of the cloud prevented dust along this plane being drawn in, causing the cloud to
- 4. As more andmore mass accumulated at the centre of the disc, the temperature increased dramatically. Eventually there was enough energy to set off nuclear reactions. Hydrogen atoms fused to form helium, releasing enormous amounts of energy in vigorous bursts.This marked the birth of the Sun, although it would take between one and 10 million more years for it to settle into the main sequence star recognizable today.
- 5. The planets, andother extraterrestrial objects such as asteroids, formed in the flat plane of the spinning disc of dust. Electrostatic forces or sticky carbon coatings made dust particles stick together to form clusters, which in turn stuck together to form rocks. Mutual gravity caused these rocks to come together, eventually to form planets.This 'coming together' of material is a process known as accretion.
