Our solar system is consisted of eight planets (not including Pluto) that have a revolution of different time spans around a giant star as we have come to know as the sun.

We will get to know about each of these planets, the sun, surrounding asteroid belts, the Galilean moons, and also a bit of information on Pluto and it's moons.

First up, is the giant ball of plasma, sulfur, hydrogen, helium, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, neon, iron, silicon, and magnesium, also known as our sun. The sun's temperature is a scorching hot and over 27,000,000ºF (15,000,000ºC)! This giant ball of, well, gas, is what all the planets, asteroids, and anything in it's line of gravitational pull, revolves (or orbits) around. When different parts of a planet is facing the sun, that side is always hotter (this is how our seasons are created)! The surface of the sun is consisted of sunspots, that tend to erupt.

Next up is the closest planet towards the sun, Mercury. Mercury is the smallest planet that has the physical appearance that looks a lot like our moon's. It has a gray/grey tone with many creators on it. It also has the shortest revolution around the sun, coming to 88 Earth days. It may be close to the sun, but it's not the hottest. It's temperature actually varies, due to the positions it's in. It can be scorching and then cold at night, but it really depends on where is the light of the sun. It is part of the terrestrial planets, also known as the inner planets, which means it's rocky and dense and made up of metal and earth.

Our next planet is Venus. Venus is called the "sister" of Earth due to it's size being almost identical, if not a bit bigger than Earth. It has tons of greenhouse gasses, and it's heat is scorching because of it's blanket like atmosphere. It's atmosphere is mainly made up of carbon dioxide. It still has a core of iron like the Earth's though.

Now onto a quite familiar planet, the Earth. It's pretty much known already, but I'll still give the facts. Earth is the only planet known to sustain life. It's made up of about 71% water, the rest being the seven continents. The Earth is the only terrestrial planet to have a moon in orbit around it. The moon has creators in it from passing asteroids and it is believed to be part of a planet or asteroid that broke apart and made orbit around our planet.

Our final terrestrial planet before we break into the asteroid belt between the terrestrial and Jovian planets is Mars, otherwise known as the red planet. Mars is currently being explored by NASA for being thought to have life source on it, but NASA is still searching for life. There has been evidence that Mars once had an ocean, and there might still be water there. This might be another planet able to sustain life force for humans if we use up all of Earth. Mars isn't smaller than Mercury, though it is a very small planet.

This is the asteroid belt that is located between the Jovian and the terrestrial planets, specifically Mars and Jupiter. People believe that there is tons of asteroids in the belt (which there is), but that you'd crash if you went through it and have low chances of survival. When really, even Han Solo could drive through it while sleeping and not get hit. The asteroids are spread out in enough space in order to allow to pass through it. The asteroid belt (like many others) have a revolution around the sun too.

The first Jovian and largest planet in our solar system is Jupiter. Jupiter has multiple moons, but there is a collection of moons known as the Galilean moons that were discovered in 1610 by Galileo Galilei. The Galilean moons are the four largest moons of Jupiter and consist of Io, Ganymede, Calisto, and Europa. Ganymede looks a lot like Earth (even having an underground ocean and a magnetic field too). Calisto is almost the size of Mars and one side of it faces Jupiter constantly. Europa is cold and the smallest of the four moons. Io is a volcanic moon with many volcanoes. Jupiter also has a storm raging on it's gassy surface called the Great Red Spot. The storm has been raging for about 400 years, maybe even longer.
