the solar system
What is the solar system GRT?
It is a system that consists of the sun and 8 planets rotating around it in orbits as you can see. To know more about it, see this video: https://youtu.be/Qd6nLM2QlWw
I do not know the meaning of any of these, can you explain please?
With pleasure! Look,
this is the sun, it looks like big ball of hot glowing gasses.
see this video to know about its life: https://youtu.be/HFT7ATLQQx8
Is the sun a planet?
No, Tom! the sun is a star, it is the biggest star in the solar system. It emits light that lights the Earth, keeps us warm and makes our plants grow.
Wow! Can we go nearer?
I am afraid we can't. It is too hot there. As I told you the sun is the biggest part in the solar system, lies in the middle and emit great amount of heat to provide the planets that rotate around it in regular orbits with light and heat.
Oh! I got it. What is next then?
Next I will show you the planets. And briefly they are dark bodies that rotate around the sun. And the smallest one of them in our solar system is Mercury.

I see that it is the nearest one to the sun too.
You are right. These two properties make its tempreature very high. And it is made from minerals and metals. To see interesting facts about it watch this video: https://youtu.be/bX4riPijwWc
Yes I can feel the heat. Let's go to the next planet.
WOW! What a beautiful planet!
It is Venus, Tom.
it is known by its attractive shape. But do you know that it is hotter than mercury?
What?! How?
because it has a thick atmosphere that traps all the heat Inside it also has an active surface with volcanoes.
Volcanoes?!!
Never judge a book from its cover. Let's go from here.
Ok ok. I think the next one is familiar to you.
Is this the Earth?
Yeah! The blue planet. the only planet that is suitable for living in the solar system. Isn't it beautiful?
It is. But why is it the only one suitable for life?
That's interesting.
Look! That's Mars, right?
Because it is the biggest planet made from rocks and metals, and its atmosphere is suitable for life on it.
It is! you are intelligent little boy.
Mars is also known as the red planet because its soil contains big amounts of iron oxide which is a red matter.
I have read about it before. I also read that Jupiter is the biggest planet in the solar system.
Yes. It is 318 times bigger than the earth.
And it is our next destination by the way ;)
That too big!
What is this strange planet there??
This is Saturn. And his strange rings are the reason of being it special. They are not solid. They are made from bits of ice, dust and rocks.
Ice?? I think that's because it is far from the sun so it is cold in it.
That's slower than a turtle trying to reach the sea!
Whatever, where are we going next?
It is not the coldest one, but yeah that's right. And also because of its distance from the sun, its turn takes long time around the sun. As a year on it is 29 on earth.
To the bright bluish-green colored planet, Uranus. It got his color from the gas methane that is in its atmosphere.
It is gorgeous. I think I have seen it before.
Maybe you did. As it can be seen by naked eye from earth.
Here is the last planet and the ice giant, Neptune.
You mean that it is the coldest planet??
That's wonderful!
In fact, no. it is not the coldest planet. Uranus is the coldest one. But it is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun, and the fourth largest. It also has the strongest winds of any planet in the Solar System, and the presence of methane gives Neptune its bluish color.
And now Tom, after you knew a lot of information about The solar system can you till me where does it lie?
