The document provides an overview of the Solar System, summarizing each planet from Mercury to Mars. It describes key facts about each planet such as their orbit, composition, climate, and exploration. The document is an educational guide meant to teach about the inner Solar System and spark curiosity about space.
Our solar system consists of the Sun and eight planets that orbit around it, plus asteroids, comets and other objects. [1] The inner terrestrial planets closest to the Sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. [2] The outer gas giant planets are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. [3] Pluto, originally the ninth planet, is now classified as a dwarf planet.
Radial velocity measurement, which detects tiny wobbles in a star's motion caused by an orbiting planet, was the first technique used to detect exoplanets in 1995. It remains a primary method and has discovered hundreds of planets by measuring changes in the star's spectrum over many observations. The Kepler space telescope has also found thousands of planet candidates using the transit method, which detects dips in a star's brightness when a planet passes in front. Other techniques like astrometry, microlensing, and direct imaging aim to directly image planets, but have had limited success so far due to the huge contrast between planet and star signals. Future space telescopes may enable direct imaging and characterization of Earth-like exoplanets.
Space probes are unmanned spacecraft that collect science information from locations in space without astronauts. They carry instrument packages to conduct scientific experiments and transmit data back to Earth. Probes can fly by, orbit, or land on planets, moons, asteroids, and comets to study features from a close proximity. Some notable space probes include Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini, Curiosity, and probes launched by ISRO to study planets in our solar system.

Ursa Major is a constellation visible in the northern hemisphere and is also known as the Great Bear. The seven brightest stars form an asterism known as the Big Dipper in North America and the Plough in the UK. These stars include Dubhe and Alkaid and are useful for finding Polaris, the North Star. Several bright galaxies can also be found in Ursa Major. In mythology, Ursa Major has been associated with a bear from Greek mythology where Zeus transformed a woman into a bear and placed them in the sky.
The universe consists of all matter, energy, and space, and is made up of galaxies containing stars and planetary systems. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, belongs to a cluster of galaxies. The Earth is the only known planet capable of supporting life due to its atmosphere, temperature range, and presence of water. Early theories proposed Earth as the center of the universe, but Copernicus correctly proposed the Sun as the center in the 16th century. The universe contains galaxies, stars, and planets that move according to patterns and orbits governed by gravity.
