Report Text About Solar System !!

The solar system consists of the Sun and everything that orbits it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and dust. The Sun contains over 98% of the mass of the entire solar system and its strong gravity holds everything in orbit around it. In addition to the planets, the solar system contains an asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter and the distant Oort cloud that is the source of comets. All planets except Mercury and Venus have natural satellites orbiting them. The currently accepted theory is that the solar system formed from a cloud of dust and gas after the Big Bang, as the universe expanded and cooled.

REPORT TEXT What Is The Solar System?

The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has. Because the Sun is so large, its powerful gravity attracts all the other objects in the Solar System towards it. Characteristics of Solar System The primary components of the solar system are the sun and the planets. Except for Mercury and Venus, all the planets have one or more satellites. There is also an asteroid belt situated between the orbits of the planets Mars and Jupiter, and the Oort cloud, a vast cloud surrounding the planetary system and extending outward approximately 3 light years from the sun. The Oort cloud is the source of comets that occasionally approach the planetary region. Born In Solar System The currently accepted theory of the universe's formation is called the Big Bang Theory. This explosion caused the formation of the matter and energy in the universe. At first, the universe was very hot. The planets, stars and all other heavenly bodies formed starting some time after the Big Bang after the universe had cooled down. The universe had been expanding and cooling since the Big Bang. Most galaxies are moving further away from our Milky Way galaxy. The exceptions are the few galaxies that are close enough to the Milky Way for gravity to overcome the universe's expansion.
