$\huge \text{SOLAR SYSTEM }$

• Solar System consists of the Sun, the eight planets and their satellites (or moons) and millions of smaller celestial objects such as the asteroids, comets and meteoroids etc.

• The Sun is at the center of the solar system and all other objects are revolving around the fixed elliptical paths called orbits.

• The eight planets of the solar system (in order of their increasing distances from the Sun) are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. All these planets orbiting around the Sun.

• All the planets (except Mercury and Venus) have natural satellites (or moons) around them. The satellites (or moons) revolve around the planets.

• When the planets move around the Sun, then their satellites (or moons) also move along with them.

• Asteroids revolve around the Sun between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter.

• Comets and meteoroids are also the minor members of the solar system which revolve around the Sun.

• The Sun is the biggest object in the solar system. Because of its great size, the Sun has a gravitational force (or gravitational pull).

• The gravitational force of the Sun keeps the solar system together and controls the movements of planets and other members of the solar system.
