Solar System

The document provides an overview of the solar system, defining it as the space where the Sun and various celestial bodies, including planets, moons, asteroids, and comets, exist and interact due to gravity. It details the characteristics of the eight planets, categorizing them into inner (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune), and explains the roles of moons, asteroids, and comets. Additionally, it outlines the significance of the Sun as the central star that sustains life on Earth through its energy.
