There are 8 planets orbiting the Sun in our solar system.

Inner planets (Mercury to Mars) are rocky and small.

Outer planets (Jupiter to Neptune) are gas or ice giants.

Earth is the third planet and the only one with known life.

Planets rotate on their axes and revolve around the Sun.

Jupiter is the largest; Mercury is the smallest.

Saturn is famous for its rings, but other planets have them too.

Planets have different numbers of moons.

They stay in orbit due to the Sun’s gravity.

Studying planets helps us learn about space and Earth’s origin.
