There are 8 major planets in our solar system.

Planets orbit the Sun due to gravitational pull.

Inner planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars (rocky surfaces).

Outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (gas giants).

Earth is the only planet known to support life.

Each planet rotates and revolves at different speeds.

Jupiter is the largest; Mercury is the smallest.

All planets except Venus and Uranus rotate counter-clockwise.

Planets have moons; some have rings (like Saturn).

Studying planets helps us understand Earth and space better.
