**Science Assignment**

**Topic: The Solar System**

**Introduction:**

The Solar System is a group of celestial bodies that revolve around the Sun. It includes eight
planets, their moons, dwarf planets, comets, asteroids, and other space objects. The Sun is the
center of our Solar System and provides the light and heat necessary for life on Earth.

**Main Content:**

The eight planets in our Solar System are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
and Neptune. These are divided into two groups: the inner (terrestrial) planets — Mercury,
Venus, Earth, and Mars — and the outer (gas giant) planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.

- **Mercury** is the closest to the Sun and has extreme temperatures.

- **Venus** is similar in size to Earth but has a thick, toxic atmosphere.

- **Earth** is the only known planet to support life.

- **Mars** is known as the Red Planet and may have once had water.

- **Jupiter** is the largest planet and has a famous Great Red Spot.

- **Saturn** is known for its beautiful rings made of ice and dust.

- **Uranus** rotates on its side and appears bluish due to methane.

- **Neptune** is the farthest and has strong winds and storms.

Apart from planets, the Solar System includes moons, which orbit planets, and other objects like
Pluto (a dwarf planet), the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, and the Kuiper Belt.

**Conclusion:**
The Solar System is vast and full of wonders. By studying it, we learn more about the origins of
our planet and the universe. Space exploration continues to reveal new information, helping us
understand our place in the cosmos.
