2. Planets in our solar system travels around the
Sun.
Earth is the smallest part of the Solar system
and the solar system is only a small part of
the vast universe
3. The Universe and the Milky way
Universe
All of the space and everything in it is called
Universe.
The Universe has millions of Galaxies but most
of the Universe is empty space.
Galaxy
A galaxy is a system of dust, gas, and many
millions of stars held together by gravity.

7. We live in the milky galaxy. It is shaped like a
flat spiral. Other galaxies have different
shapes.
Our sun is located near the edge of our
galaxy. It is one of the billions of stars in the
milky way.
8. Astronomy
The study of the Sun, Moon, stars, and other objects in
the space is called astronomy.
People have always watched objects in the sky. The
Egyptian, Arabs, chines and other earlier civilizations
were the people who used the principles of astronomy
to decide when they should plants or harvest crops.
Sailors on the open sea did not have landmarks to tell
them where they were. So they have used Sun and
stars.
9. Our solar system
The solar system include the Sun, the
planets, their Moons, dwarf planet,
asteroid, and other object that orbit the
Sun.
All object in the solar system revolves
around the Sun. Each object in the solar
system moves in a path or orbit around
the Sun

11. planet
A very large ball-shaped object that revolves around
a star, such the Sun.
Planets are cooler and smaller than the star.
They don’t give up their own visible light. They may
seem to shine because they reflect light from the star
they orbit.
12. Our solar system
Our solar system has inner and outer planets
The inner planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and
Mars.
While the outer planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
and Neptune
An area called the asteroid belt is between the inner
and outer planets.
13. Asteroids
Asteroid are rocky objects that orbit the Sun,
but they are too small to be called planets.
The asteroid belt is the part of our solar
system and has too many asteroids.

17. The force of gravity
Gravity is a force that keeps Earth and other objects in their
orbit.
Planets tend to move in straight line but the gravitational pull
affect it motion as a result the planets and other objects in the
solar system move in curved paths around the Sun.
Astronomers have discovered other planets in orbit around
other stars. So it is possible there are other solar systems
besides ours
18. The Sun
Our Sun is a medium star. It’s the largest body in the solar
system.
Like all stars the Sun is a hot ball of hot glowing gases. The
sun provides light as well as heat to the life on the Earth.
The outer part of the Sun is much cooler than the inner
part.
Scientists estimate that outer part of the is about 5,500C.
They think that the inner core is as hot as 15,000,000C
