The Solar System consists of the Sun and nine planets that orbit around it. The Sun is the largest object at the center of the Solar System. There are nine planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (no longer considered a planet). Each planet has unique characteristics and orbits the Sun in oval-shaped paths of different sizes depending on their distance from the Sun.

System.

18. However, Pluto is no longer the ninth planet
starting 2006.

23.  All planets move around the Sun.
 They move in their own path called orbit.
 The orbits of planets are oval (bujur) in shape.

24.  Each planet has a different size of orbit.
i. Nearer to the Sun – Smaller orbits
ii. Farther from the Sun – Greater orbits
