The Solar System is a group of celestial bodies (objects found in outer space, like Plan
ets) that stay in orbit and rotate around another celestial body, usually a Star. The Star that
is in our System is commonly called the Sun. Our Sun has a gravitational pull that keeps
all the Planets in their place, while they move in a circular pattern (or orbit) around the Sun.
Many heavenly objects revolve around the Sun, including eight Planets and their Moons
and five dwarf Planets. There are also small bodies (or minor Planets) such as asteroids,
meteorites, comets, objects known as Trans-Neptunian Objects, and interstellar dust. Our
Solar System is located in the Milky Way Galaxy and is just one out of billions of Galaxies
found in the Universe. The eight Planets of our Solar System in order from the closet to the
farthest from the Sun are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The
first four Planets closest to the Sun are known as the Terrestrial Planets. These Planets are comprised
of rocky surfaces and contain the only Planet in the Solar System able to sustain life. The last four are
known as the Giant Planets, sometimes also called Gas Giants. They are comprised of mostly gas
which means there is not a hard surface on which a human could walk. They are much larger in size
than the Terrestrial Planets. Between Mars and Jupiter lies a large, flat-planed asteroid belt. Jupiter
is the largest Planet, while Mercury is the smallest. Pluto was once considered the last and smallest
Planet in the Solar System. In 2006, Scientists determined that it should be classified as a Dwarf
Planet.
