Solar System Kids: Space, Planets & Sun | Science | Tutway

Hello

kids

, today we will learn more about our sky and celestial bodies, so let's get started. The Sun is the largest celestial body we see in our sky. The Sun is actually a star, but it is very, very close to the Earth compared to the stars we see at night. That's why it seems much bigger than the stars. It is actually the closest star to Earth and we call it the Sun. It is a large ball of gases that gives us heat and light. We should never look at the Sun directly as it can damage our delicate eyes.

Many celestial bodies revolve around the Sun and are called

planets

. Our Earth is one of those

planets

. Some celestial bodies also revolve around planets and are called moons. The

solar

planets and their moons together are called

solar

system

, let's learn again. The solar planets and their moons. The moons together are called the solar

system

Now let's learn about the solar systems There are eight planets that revolve around the Sun Let's learn their names in order of position from the Sun Mercury, which is the first or closest then Venus then the Earth our planet in which We live on is the third planet, then comes more Jupiter, then Saturn, then Uranus and Neptune, in the last one the one that is furthest from the Sun.

They all revolve around the Sun in fixed paths called orbits, so the orbit is a fixed path in which a planet rotates. Each planet has its own orbit like Mercury will move only in this orbit Venus will move only in this orbit in the same way all the planets move in their fixed paths called orbits they never go out of their way now let's see what are our satellites or moons other planets celestial bodies that revolve around the planets are called satellites or moons of that planet as a celestial body that revolves around the earth is called the moon or natural satellite of the earth the planets and moons do not have their own light they shine when the light of the sun falls on them only the sun and the stars have their own light the planets and the moons do not have their own light now let's learn about each planet one by one mercury is the first planet from the sun so it is the closest to the sun too It is the smallest planet in the solar system Venus is the second planet, it is the brightest and hottest planet,

, so Mercury is the closest to the Sun, but Venus is the hottest planet, not Mercury.

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun, it is the planet we live on and it is a unique planet since it is the only planet with life on it. It is called a blue planet because one third of the Earth's surface is covered with water Mars It is the fourth planet from the Sun It is a rocky planet It looks red that is why it is also called the Red Planet Jupiter is the fifth planet It is the largest planet in the Solar System Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun It is the second largest after Jupiter has brightly colored rings around it.

Uranus is the seventh planet, it is very cold as it is very far from the Sun, it also has rings around it. Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun, making it the furthest and coldest planet, so today we children learn about the sky and the celestial bodies that we see in the sky. Now go ahead and take a test to learn more bye
