Introductionย
Space, the final frontierโฆ to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before. ~ Gene Roddenberryย
We are living in an amazing place in the universe called: The Milky Way Galaxy. It is surrounded by lots and lots of stars, planets, asteroids, comets, and other celestial objects.ย
One neat place in the Milky Way Galaxy is where planet earth is found. Can you guess where we are? Did you guess: The solar system?ย

The solar system has lots of fascinating things to discover. Letโs learn about some of them and donโt forget to share with others!ย
First, letโs define our solar system. What is it? If someone asked you that question, what would you say?ย
ESA for kids explains it in a nice and simple way: โThe Solar System is made up of the Sun and all of the smaller objects that move around it.โย
Simple enough, right? It might sound that way, but it isnโt!ย
The solar system has eight planets. Letโs start with the sun. It is the biggest part of our solar system and everything moves around this bright star.
