Hello, I am the Sun, the star at the center of our planetary system. Around me, orbit eight wonderful planets. Mercury, the swiftest; Venus, our morning star; Earth, home to all of us; Mars, the red planet; Jupiter, the largest; Saturn, with its beautiful rings; Uranus, the sideways planet; and Neptune, the farthest from me. They all travel in their own paths called orbits and spin around just like tops! But did you know, there are millions of other stars like me, with their own planets, in the vast universe?
