PLANETS

A planet is a large object that travels around the sun. Earth is one of the planets in our solar system. Planets are much smaller than the sun and the stars.

Planets do not produce their own light the way the sun and other stars do. The planets can be seen only because light from the sun shines on them.

Going outward from the sun, the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Other stars also have planets around them.
