Our Solar System
  • The solar system is made up of our sun and
    everything that travels around it. The word
    solar means having to do with the sun. The
    sun is in the center of the solar system. Around
    the sun travel planets, moons, comets, asteroids,
    and other space objects.

Planets in Our Solar System
  • Planets are large space objects that move in a
    path around suns. This path is called an orbit.
    The nine planets in our solar system are Mercury,
    Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
    Neptune, and Pluto.

Comparing Planets
  • Pluto is the smallest planet and the furthest
    from the sun. It is usually covered with a layer
    of ice. Mercury is the planet closest to the
    sun. It gets hot enough on Mercury to melt tin
    cans. Jupiter is the largest planet. It is so
    big that all of the other planets could fit
    inside it.
