The Sun and the planets around it are called the Solar System. There are eight
planets in the solar system. These eight major planets and minor planets
including Pluto orbit the Sun.
Planets are called planets and the sun is called constellation and fireball.
The sun is very hot. However, without its support, living beings cannot live
in the world. All the planets revolve around the Sun in different elliptical
orbits. The Sun, which is farthest from the Earth, should be referred to as
the largest hot ball. Let's see about the planets orbiting the sun..!

There are eight planets in the solar system.
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Pluto
Mercury
The closest planet to the Sun is Mercury. It is the first planet in the solar
system. It rapidly circles itself from west to east. It has no satellites. It
orbits the Sun in 88 days.
Venus
Bright Venus can be seen from Earth early in the morning. It revolves around
the Sun in an east-west direction. It is the second planet in the solar
system. It orbits at a distance of 10 crore kilometers from the Sun.
Earth
Earth is the third planet that is the abode of humans. Earth is considered to
be the only planet in the solar system that is surrounded by air and water and
is inhabited by living organisms. The solid planet Earth has an atmosphere
around it. Humans and many other species can live on Earth because it is rich
in oxygen, which is necessary for life.
That is why Earth is hailed as a living planet. It revolves around the sun
from west to east. The moon revolves around the earth as a satellite. Earth
takes 365 days to go around the Sun once.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system. It is the smallest planet
compared to both Earth and Venus. Named Mars because of its red color. Half
the size of Earth, it rotates itself from west to east.
Mars has two satellites. The countries of the world are conducting research to
see if there is an environment in which humans living in it. It takes 687 days
to orbit the Sun.
Jupiter
Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, orbits the sun in fifth
place. This planet has a big red circle. It is also called a large gas planet.
It traverses the Sun from west to east. This planet with 63 satellites takes
about 11 years to orbit the Sun.
Saturn
Saturn in the sixth house has huge rings around it. A ring-like mass is a mass
of fine rocks, dust, and ice. Saturn has 60 moons that rotate from west to
east. Saturn takes about 29 years to orbit the Sun.
Uranus
Uranus, the seventh planet of the solar system, is surrounded by rings of gas.
It is a cold planet. It has 27 satellites. Titania, Oberon, Umbriel, Ariel,
and Miranda are the largest planets. It takes 84 years to orbit the sun.
Neptune
The eighth planet is Neptune. The planet also has rings of gas around it. It
revolves around the sun from west to east. It has 13 satellites. The
cloud-covered, bluish-green planet takes about 160 years to orbit the Sun.
Pluto
Pluto, considered the ninth planet, has been reclassified as a dwarf planet
due to its lack of planetary properties. Discovered in 1930, Pluto is thought
to be made up of small stones, large rocks, and hard materials. There are many
more asteroids like this in the solar system.
