The solar system



Our solar system

The solar system is made up of 9 planets also made of moons, comets, asteroids and lots more.  The sun has lots of gravity it tries to pull the planets towards it.  While the planets try to fly away.  The planets are Mercury (Is closest to the sun) Venus, Earth (were we live) Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto (pluto is a dwarf planet.) The sun is a big ball of fire shooting light and heat in every direction.   The sun is the only star in our solar system.  No living thing could live without the sun.   How cold is it in space?

Mercury is 57 million miles from the sun or 92 million kilometers.  Venus is the hottest planet reaching the tempricher of 462 degrees celsius.  Earth is the planet that we live on, which is the only planet that has liquid water on it’s surface and it’s the only planet that has life.  Mars and Earth are so similar in so many ways that it’s almost hard to believe, we haven’t found anything alive there.  Without Mars we won’t have such a interesting planet to study. Jupiter is a really stormy planet and most of the storms never end. Because Saturn is bigger than Earth you would weigh more than Saturn than you do on Earth.  Uranus was the first planet to be discovered by a telescope and it spins on it’s side like a barrel.  Neptune is a large planet it is nearly four times the size of earth,  it’s covered in thin wispy white clouds which stretch around the planet.  Pluto is 4.5 billion years old, Pluto spins in the opposite direction as Earth and the sun rises in the west and sets in the east.


Black holes pull things towards it and if you fell in a black hole you would stretch like spaghetti and probably rip apart.  A black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much in that light can not get out.  People can not see black holes because they are invisible.

The answer for (How cold is it in space?) Well the answer is  -273 degrees celsius that is so cold.
