The Solar System was formed approximately 4.6 billion years ago and consists of the Sun, planets, dwarf planets and other astronomical objects bound in its orbit.
Let's explore with Amber the Solar System!
The Sun is
the largest object in the Solar System; it contains more than 99.8% of the
total mass of the Solar System. The temperature on the Sun is about 15.6
million degrees Celsius.
The 9
planets are the main part of our Solar System. Each planet has a different
feature. For example, Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and the eighth
largest; Uranus tilts on its side; Venus' orbit is the most circular. The
planets, starting farthest from the Sun are Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn,
Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, and Mercury.
Another
part of our Solar System that is important to us is the Earth's Moon. It is the only natural satellite of our
Earth. It also is the second brightest object in the Solar System, after the
Sun. The moon appears to wobble a bit; this happens because of its elliptical
or oval-shaped orbit. You can find more information in the references part.
Now let's see how the solar system was born!
