the solar system the solar system consists
as the Sun and its planetary system eight planets
their moons and other objects including asteroids and meteors
our planet Earth is among one of the
eight planets that revolve around the Sun it's called the solar system
because the word solar means relating to the Sun
and since the Sun is the center most parts the system
it is called the solar system let's understand more about the planets and
the Sun
objects seem to be smaller in size
when they're seen from a great distance but in reality
are very huge in large similarly
the moon and stars are very big in huge in size
but appear to be small in size to are
eyes because they're very very far away from the earth
the distance between objects in the solar system
is so large that these numbers will run into the millions and billions have
calamine urs
hence they are measured with a specific unit called the light year
one light year is exactly 9 quadrillion
460 trillion 730 billion
472 million five hundred and
80,000 800 meters the Sun is only a 149 million kilometers away from the earth
the sun is very far from the earth and that is the reason why
the Sun looks so small in size the solar system is the family up the Sun
the Sun is a very big compared to the moon probably around four hundred times
bigger
the Sun is also a star but remember
it's not the biggest star in the universe there are a lot of stars
present
in the universe which are very far away from our son
summer them about thousands have light years away
that is why stars look like a little dots in the night sky
at the Sun like all stars is a ball of fire
is continuously burning because of hydrogen reactions that happen
inside the Sun these reactions occur it
every high temperature and are responsible for the emission
at the enormous light energy coming from the Sun in the form of light rays
the Sun light from the Sun takes about eight-and-a-half minutes to reach the
surface
above the earth the Sun is the center of our solar system
and all the planets revolve around the Sun in orbits
in orbit is a curved path a fan object around a point in space
orbit means moving around in Roman
the earth is one the planets in the solar system
and takes exactly 300 65.2 five days to revolve around the Sun
the earth also rotates around its own axis
in a twenty-four hours or in one day just like
earth every planet rotates on its own axis
and revolves around the Sun having different links obtain a
and year let's learn about the planet's in the order up their distance from the
Sun
starting from the closest mercury
mercury is the smallest at the planet's is as hot as it is close to the Sun
and hence no living creature can live on this planet
mercury was named after a Roman god Mercury
who is the fast flying messenger mercury takes only
88 days to revolve around the Sun which makes it the fastest revolving plane
venous venus is the second closest planet to the Sun
to do you know that venus is called the morning and evening star
the reason for this is that venus is visible in the morning and evening
as the brightest star from earth
Venus takes about two hundred and forty four point seven days to orbit around
the Sun
and it is named after the Roman goddess %uh love and beauty
earth our planet Earth is the third closest planet to the Sun
is a blue in color and there's a lot of water present
on the surface over water constitutes about 70 percent
the entire surface our planet
unlike earth the moon is not a planet it is a natural satellite affairs
and it revolves around the earth satellite is a smaller body
which rotates around another rotating body
first is the only planet which has animals trees
and human beans Marcus
Mars is called the red planet because it's red in color
this red color is due to the presence have a chemical called
iron oxide this iron oxide is present on the surface of mars
hence giving it it's red color Mars is named after the Roman god of war:
it has two moons that intern revolve around it
Jupiter jupiter is the biggest and largest planet of our solar system
and it is named after the Roman god Jupiter
jupiter is 317 times the mass
affairs jupiter may have all the rocky core
have the heavier elements making it the biggest and heaviest planet
the outer atmosphere Jupiter is divided into several bands
and different latitudes resulting in extreme storms
jupiter has sixty seven moons revolving around it
these are natural satellites of Jupiter
Saturn Saturn is the only planet to have rings around
Saturn is named after the Roman god I've agriculture
saturn has over just ninety five times the mass of Earth
the rings around saturn are mostly composed of ice particles
and some rocky debris and dust
saturn has around sixty two moons revolving around it
Uranus Uranus is similar to Neptune
and is named after the Greek goddess sky or on us
it has around 27 natural satellites revolving around
Uranus is unique when compared to other planets
because in fact that its axis of rotation is tilted sideways
unlike the other planets it looks bluish green in color
because the atmosphere Uranus is very cold in cloudy
Neptune neptune is the farthest planet
away from the Sun is about seventeen times size to the earth
neptune is light blue in color because it is the cold to serve our planet's
neptune is the tenses serve our planet's as well is named after the Roman god of
C
there was another planetary object called Cluedo
which was originally the ninth planet
but it is no longer considered a plan because Pluto and its moons
are now considered to be a region this region extends from the orbit have
Neptune
there is a huge gap between Mars and Jupiter this huge gap
is called the asteroid belt this belt is
occupied by a large number I've irregularly shaped
objects which are called asteroids these objects are often called
as minor planets because have their sights
