THE SOLAR SYSTEM The Sun is a gigantic star that is made up of hot gases called plasma. The solar system includes the Sun, planets, the moons of each planet, as well as other objects that revolve around the Sun. Each planet revolves around the Sun on a path that is called an orbit. A planet is a large body that revolves around the Sun. Planets FARTHER from the Sun take a longer time to orbit around the Sun than those closer. There are eight known planets that are divided into two groups called inner and outer planets. The inner planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The outer planets include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Mercury is dry and very hot since it is so close to the Sun. © Copyright NewPath Learning. All Rights Reserved.
