the planet has an HUGE solar systum anf mars is where we live.
That is where you get some styrofoam balls of different sizes, paint them to look like the planets and sun in our solar system ans suspend them from something like a couple coathangers in their correct order and hang it from thee ceiling.
The force of gravity between the planets and the sun keeps them in orbit and prevents them from flying out of the solar system. The sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets in stable orbits around it.
If all of the planets in our solar system were to line up, it wouldn't have any significant effects on Earth. Planetary alignments are not rare and do not cause any gravitational or catastrophic events. The planets in our solar system are far apart and their positions are constantly changing due to their orbits.
Stars are not planets. They are like our sun and may or may not have planets orbiting around them. Stars are hot and the heat makes them look like bright lights in the sky on a clear night. Planets do not create very much, if any, visible light and are much harder to see because they only reflect the light from stars.
The solar system is called so because it consists of a central star, the Sun, and all the celestial bodies that orbit around it, such as planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. The term "solar" comes from the Latin word for Sun, "sol."
to have something to look at when you can see them
The sun everyone knows that the planets go around the sun check out a picture on google.com or look on youtube to see a video.
They aren't, because there is only one Solar system. The system we live in is named after the Star named Sol. We refer to it as the Sun. A Solar type of system is one that is like ours. Scientist who look at space using various methods and instruments now have an understanding of how a Solar type sysatem looks and can recognize "Fixed Stars" like our Sol that may have planets. They have found one recently.
Depends on the planet's distance from the Sun. Look up references to the Solar System or to its individual planets for the actual values.
They don't because their different in size, shape, and color
If you look at it in a planetary perspective they are called moons. But if you look at it in a solar system perspective they are called planets, dwarf planets and asteroids. If you look at it at a galaxy size they are called Suns and Stars.
Currently no planet other than Earth is known to harbor life. Even then, the planets outside our solar system are so distant that we would have no way of seeing what that life looked like.

Assuming you have functioning sight, you look up on a dark clear night.
cloud tops The four largest planets in our solar system are gas giants. They have no solid surface.
