5. OUR SOLAR SYSTEM
• Our solar system is made up of a star—the Sun—
eight planets, 146 moons, a bunch of comets,
asteroids and space rocks, ice, and several dwarf
planets, such as Pluto. The eight planets
are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn,
Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury is closest to the
Sun. Neptune is the farthest.

7. SOLAR SYSTEM
• The solar system is a collection of planets,
moons, and other objects that revolve around
a star called the Sun. Our solar system has
eight planets, which are Mercury, Venus,
Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.

8. SUN

9. SUN
• The Sun is a very large and very hot ball of gas in the
center of our Solar System. It's like a giant star that gives
off heat and light that allows us to see and live on Earth.
• The Sun is so huge that it would take more than one
million Earths to fill it up. It is made up of mainly two
gases, hydrogen and helium. These gases are fused
together in a process called nuclear fusion, which releases
a lot of energy that makes the Sun very bright and hot.

10. MOON

11. MOON
• A moon is a natural satellite that orbits around a
planet. In simpler terms, it's like a smaller planet
that circles around a bigger planet. Our planet,
Earth, has one moon, but other planets in our Solar
System have more than one moon.

12. MERCURY

13. MERCURY
• The smallest planet in our solar system and nearest to the Sun,
Mercury is only slightly larger than Earth's Moon.
• Distance from sun :- 55.938 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 3.10999 mins
• Length of year :- 88 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Terrestrial
• From the surface of Mercury, the Sun would appear more than
three times as large as it does when viewed from Earth, and the
sunlight would be as much as 11 times brighter.

14. VENUS

15. VENUS
• Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is Earth’s closest planetary neighbor.
It’s one of the four inner, terrestrial (or rocky) planets, and it’s often called Earth’s
twin because it’s similar in size and density. These are not identical twins, however
– there are radical differences between the two worlds
• Distance from sun :- 66.783 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 5.975093 mins
• Length of year :- 225 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Terrestrial
• Similar in structure and size to Earth, Venus's thick atmosphere traps heat in a
runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system.

16. EARTH

17. EARTH
• Earth—our home planet—is the only place we know of so far that’s inhabited
by living things. It's also the only planet in our solar system with liquid water on
the surface.
• Distance from sun :- 93.304 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 8.347 mins
• Length of year :- 365 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Terrestrial
• Our home planet is the third planet from the Sun, and the only place we know
of so far that’s inhabited by living things.

18. MARS

19. MARS
• ​Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun – a dusty, cold, desert world with a
very thin atmosphere. Mars is also a dynamic planet with seasons, polar
ice caps, canyons, extinct volcanoes, and evidence that it was even more
active in the past.
• Distance from sun :- 154.001 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 13.778469 mins
• Length of year :- 687 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Terrestrial
• Mars is a dusty, cold, desert world with a very thin atmosphere. There is
strong evidence Mars was – billions of years ago – wetter and warmer, with
a thicker atmosphere.

20. SATURN

21. SATURN
• Adorned with thousands of beautiful ringlets, Saturn is unique among the
planets. It is not the only planet to have rings – made of chunks of ice and
rock – but none are as spectacular or as complicated as Saturn’s.
• Distance from sun :- 911.730 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 8.572422 mins
• Length of year :- 10,759 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Gas Giant
• Adorned with a dazzling, complex system of icy rings, Saturn is unique in our
solar system. The other giant planets have rings, but none are as spectacular
as Saturn's.

22. URANUS

23. URANUS
• Uranus—seventh planet from the Sun—rotates at a nearly 90-degree
angle from the plane of its orbit. This unique tilt makes Uranus appear to
spin on its side.
• Distance from sun :- 1,1914.145 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 163.455237 mins
• Length of year :- 30,687 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Ice Giant
• It was the first planet found with the aid of a telescope, Uranus was
discovered in 1781 by astronomer William Herschel, although he originally
thought it was either a comet or a star.

24. NEPTUNE

25. NEPTUNE
• Neptune—the eighth and most distant major planet orbiting our
Sun—is dark, cold and whipped by supersonic winds. It was the
first planet located through mathematical calculations.
• Distance from sun :- 2,780.312 million km
• One way light time to the sun :- 249.754382 mins
• Length of year :- 60,190 Earth Days
• Planet type :- Ice Giant
• Dark, cold, and whipped by supersonic winds, ice giant Neptune is
the eighth and most distant planet in our solar system.
