Our solar system is made up of the Sun and all the
objects that orbit it.

A planet is a large body of
rock or gas that orbits the sun.

Planets do not produce their own light. They reflect
the sun’s light, which is what we
see.

Each planet is a different size.
Some are smaller than Earth, some
are larger.

Planets are divided into two
groups: the inner planets
and outer planets.

Inner PlanetsThe four planets closest to the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and MarsSmall and made up of solid, rocklike materials.Warmer than the outer planets

Our home! It’s the only planet with liquid water.

MarsHas some water, but most of it is frozen ice.Nicknamed the “red planet” because of its reddish rocks and soil.

Outer PlanetsJupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and PlutoMade up of mostly gases except for Pluto.Pluto is a mixture of rocky materials and frozen gases.Colder than the inner planets.

Uranus
Called the “Sideways Planet” because it rotates on its side

Has a Great Dark Spot similar to Jupiter’s Great Red Spot.

PlutoLittle is known about Pluto because is is the farthest planet away from Earth.Made up of a mixture of rocky materials and frozen gases.
