Our solar system is a magical place. In the center is the Sun, a big ball of hot, glowing gases. Around the Sun, eight different planets are orbiting. They are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Each planet is unique. For example, Earth is special because it has life, and Jupiter is the largest planet. We also have the moon, Earth's only natural satellite. Floating around are asteroids and comets too! Studying the solar system helps us understand our place in the universe.
