A solar system is a system that consists of the sun and the object revolving around it.
When we look at the sky, we see several things that are very far from us like the stars twinkling at night, the moon, the sun, etc. All these bodies including us are part of the universe. The universe is extremely very vast. We live on Earth which is a small planet in this universe. Like Earth, there are several other celestial bodies bonded together in an arranged manner that forms a system known as the Solar System. It is believed that this system was formed about five million years ago from a huge explosion.Well, today we will discuss the solar system in detail.

4) Sun covers the major part of our solar system.
5) Our solar system consists of 8 planets.
6) There are about 200 moons found in our solar system.
7) The 8 planets of the solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
8) The largest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, whereas Mercury is the smallest.

Conclusion
The solar system plays an important role in determining various concepts about its presence. The study of the solar system, planets, and things related to them is known as Astronomy. Scientists are involved in studying these planetary bodies to find out the evolution of life on the planets. They are also researching about life on planets other than Earth. NASA, the national aeronautical agency is responsible for exploring the study of the solar system.
I hope the above given ten points on Solar System will be useful for you to know the various aspects of this topic.
