Solar System

The Solor System that we live in has 8 planets that orbit the Sun. The Sun is a star but it is a smaller star so it can't become a black hole it would be a nutron star or a white dwarf star. There is Mercery witch is the closeset planet to the sun and the seconed hoteset planet in our Solar System. Venuse is the second planet it is covered with clouds of sulfiric acid and it is almost the same size as Earth and we have not seen the surface of Venuse until 1970 when a lander landed on the surface and took a video recording of the surface nd sound of Venus. Earth is the third planet and has four seasons earth is the first planet in the Solar System that has a moon Earth has many satelites around it and is the only planet we know of that has liquid water. Mars is one of the things that people might think is hot because of the color of it but it is really cold. The reason why Mars is red is because scientest think that there might have used to be liquid water on Mars because there is iron in the soil of Mars so that red is most likley rust. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Solar System and is the first gas planet. Jupiter has many moons (96 to be exacet) but it is not the most moons in the Solar System. Some people don't know this but Jupiter dose have rings they are just not much so we do not see them. Saturn is the second bigget planet but dose have the most moons in the Solar System with 145 curant moons Saturn is most famous for having thousands of rings made of asroides. Uranus is the seventh planet from the sun and it is a icey gas planet the first one of two in the Solar System and it has 28 curant moons this planet also has rings and it spins on it's side insted of the normal way planets spin but it still orbits the sun the same. Neptune is the last planet in the Solar System and is the second ice gas planet in the Solar System it is like Jupiter where it has rings but we can not normaly see them. Neptune has 16 currant moons and is the coldest planet in the Solar System. There are five dwarf planets in the solar system and they are calld dwarf panets because of how they look and there placement. To be a real planet it has to have a gravitey pull so it is in a shape that is near a sphere, it has to orbit a star, and it has to clear the debrese around it (like astroid belts). The five dwarf planets in the Solar System are: Pluto, Eris, Ceres, Makemake, and Haumea. Pluto is the most famous dwarf planet in the Solar System because it used to be a real planet until some people changed the deffinition of a planet. Pluto is in the Kuiper belt witch is an astroid belt that is behind Neptune and Pluto has five moons. Eris is also a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt and has one moon like Earth. Ceres is a dwarf planet that is in the astroid belt beween Mars and Jupiter and has no moons. Makemake is also in the Kuiper belt and has one moon, Makemake has a nickname, MK and the moon that orbits it is called S/2015 (136472) 1 or MK2. The last dwarf planet is called Haumea and is also in the Kuiper belt and has two moons and is not a planet because it is actualy round so that it can be a planet but it has not cleared the sorounding debres same with all the other dwarf planets. There are two astroid belts in the Solar System the first is next to Mars and Jupiter, The second one has a name and it is the Kuiper belt and is behind Neptune. Our solar system is not the only one there is and all the Systems are named after the orbiting star like the nerest one to us is Alpha Centauri is bot the star and the name of the System.

Planets

There are many planets in space and it is not just in our Solar System there are planets trilions of light years away but we cant see all of them like planets in our neghboring Solar System or all of them in ours. In our Solar System we can see two in the morning, and three at night without speceil equiptment like fancy telescops. The two planets that you can see in the day are in the morning just before the sun completley rises the two planets are Murcury and Venuse this is because they ar on th side closer to the sun. The planets that we can see at night are Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn this is because the planetes are on the side further away from the sun. The reason why we can not see Uranus and Neptun is because they are to far away for us to see without anything. The Solar System is not the only place in the univers that people you can also find them are other Solar Systems if they are not in a Solar System they are not a planet it would a dwarf planet. We find new planets when there are very spacific condicions where there are planets in view of one of the telescopes in orbit of the Earth.
