The Solar System is a vast realm centered around the Sun, which is the only star in our system. It encompasses eight planets, their moons, dwarf planets, asteroids, and comets, all of which orbit the Sun in almost circular paths. The planets are categorized into two groups: the inner planets, consisting of Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, which have rocky surfaces, and the outer gas giants, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Discover the fascinating diversity of these celestial bodies and their unique characteristics.
