The Solar System is a set formed by the Sun and the bodies
celestial bodies that orbit around it; belongs to the galaxy called
Milky Way.
It is formed by the Sun and a series of bodies that are connected to it.
this star due to gravity: eight large planets (Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune), along with their
satellites, minor planets (among them, the former planet Pluto),
asteroids, comets, interstellar dust and gas.
THE SUN: It is a yellow star that provides light and heat.
to say, the vital energy for the development of plant, animal and
human; the sun is composed of hydrogen and helium.
THE PLANETS
In the solar system there are eight planets excluding Pluto who is
its remoteness and dimension are no longer considered a planet as such.
The planets are divided by their proximity to the sun and by their composition.
physics.
FOR THEIR CLOSENESS TO THE SUN: They are divided into Interiors and
Exteriors.
Interiors: They are those that are closer to the sun:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
Outers: They are those that are far from the sun: Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
BY THEIR PHYSICAL STRUCTURE: They are divided into Terrestrial or
TelluricandJovian.
Terrestrial or Telluric: They have a solid composition or
rocky very similar to earth. They are small and of surface
rocky. They belong to this group: Mercury, Venus, Earth and
Mars.
Jovians: They are giant planets and their physical composition is
gas composed of hydrogen and helium. They belong to this
group: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
In their journey through the solar system, the planets are accompanied
by some stars called Natural Satellites; a planet can have
one or several natural satellites. Mercury and Venus are the only ones
planets that have no natural satellites.
