Solar System


Solar System
       Astronomers believe that the Solar System was formed from a cloud of gas and dust . The Sun that emits heat and light is the centre of the Solar System . The Sun is surrounded by eight  planets and other bodies such as natural satellites, comets and meteoroids .
       The nine planets starting from the one nearest to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune(the furthest being Pluto not a planet anymore) .
       Each planet rotates about on its own axis . The rotation of the planets around the Sun is influenced by the strong gravity of the Sun making their orbits elliptical in shape .
       The Earth is one of the planets in the Solar System and it revolves about its own axis and also moves around the Sun following its own orbit .
