The Solar System

Last week we learned all about the Solar System. The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in our solar system. Scientists believe that the Solar System evolved from a giant cloud of dust and gas. The outer planets are largely made of gas and water, while the inner planets are made up almost entirely of rock and dust.Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are the names of the planets in our solar system .
