Solar System and Sun Review
In our solar system, there are eight amazing planets that orbit around the Sun, which is a massive star at the center of our solar system. The Sun generates energy through a process called nuclear fusion, which is how it shines so brightly and provides warmth to our planet. The planets can be divided into two groups: the inner planets, which are rocky and solid, and the outer planets, which are much larger and made mostly of gas and ice. Understanding these planets helps us learn more about the universe we live in and our place within it.
