This document provides information about the solar system and beyond. It details the nine planets in our solar system and notes that the Earth orbits the sun every 365.25 days. It also explains that gravity keeps the Earth and moon in orbit and discusses how the tilt of the Earth's axis causes seasons and the rising and setting of the sun. It concludes by discussing eclipses and positioning our solar system within the Milky Way galaxy and broader universe.
