Describe our solar system?
The Solar System[a] consists of the Sun and its planetary system of eight planets, their moons, and other non-stellar objects.[b] It formed 4.6 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a giant molecular cloud. The vast majority of the system's mass is in the Sun, with most of the remaining mass contained in Jupiter. The four smaller inner planets,Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, also called the terrestrial planets, are primarily composed of rock and metal. The four outer planets, called the gas giants, are substantially more massive than the terrestrials. The two largest, Jupiter andSaturn, are composed mainly of hydrogen and helium; the two outermost planets, Uranus and Neptune, are composed largely of substances with relatively high melting points (compared with hydrogen and helium), called ices, such as water, ammonia and methane, and are often referred to separately as "ice giants". All planets have almost circular orbits that lie within a nearly flat disc called the ecliptic plane.The solar system could be described the following way.Our solar system consists of the Sun at it's center. All of the planets in the solar system orbit around the sun.There are 4 inner planets listed in order of closest to furthest from the sun:Mercury, Venus, Earth, MarsThere are 4 outer planets listed in order of closest to furthest from the sun:Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, NeptuneThe inner and outer planets are separated by a ring of asteroids known as "The Asteroid Belt"There are also several Kuiper Belt objects beyond Neptune.
