"What Is the Solar System? The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit the Sun. In addition to the planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, dust, and gas. Everything in the Solar System revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger the object is, the more gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the objects in the Solar System towards it. At the same time, these objects, which are moving very rapidly, are trying to fly away from the Sun into the emptiness of outer space, and the Sun is trying to pull them inward. So the objects become trapped half-way in between. Scientists are still arguing about the number of planets in the Solar System. Some of them think that there are nine planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Others believe that Pluto can’t be considered as a planet; it is just the largest member of a distinct population called the Kuiper belt. There are a lot of other points the scientists are debating about nowadays. Perhaps you’ll find the answers to these questions?"
