The Solar System is made up of the Sun and the celestial objects that are bound to it by its gravity: the eight planets and five dwarf planets, their 173 known moons, and billions of small bodies, such as asteroids, icy kuiper belt objects, comets, meteoroids, and interplanetary dust.

Although the farthest planet is over four billion kilometers away from the earth, all eight planets can be seen in the night sky, using a telescope or binoculars - as long as you know where to look!

Mercury

Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, and the smallest planet of the solar system. Mercury has been visited by two unmanned NASA space probes, Mariner 10 and Messenger. The unmanned Messenger proble was launched by NASA in 2004 and will begin to orbit Mercury in 2011 after several flybys.

The picture on the left is a picture of Mercury that was taken by Messenger in 2008, and transmitted back to earth for scientists to study.

Mercury is 57,900,000 km away from the sun.

Pluto and the other dwarf planets

Pluto used to be classed as a planet of the solar system, but is now considered to be a dwarf planet, and a part of the Kuiper belt. The Kuiper belt is a vast collection of dwarf planets, asteroids, rocks, ice and dust that circle the sun, that extends for millions of miles beyond Neptune, on the outskirts of the solar system.

As of mid-2008, five smaller objects are classified as dwarf planets, all but the first of which orbit beyond Neptune. These are:

Ceres (415,000,000 km from the sun)

Pluto (5,906,000,000 km, from the sun, formerly classified as the ninth planet)

Haumea (6,450,000,000 km from the sun)

Makemake (6,850,000,000 km from the sun)

Eris (10,100,000,000 km from the sun)

But what about the Moon?

The Moon is not a planet at all. It is one of more than three hundred smaller celestial bodies that circle the planets of the solar system.

The Moon was the first such celestial body that people knew about - it was always visible from earth! After 1665, when astronomers observed moons around other planets, the word moon started to be used as a collective term for them all.

Scientists know more about the Moon than any other planet or celestial body in the solar system, because it is the only other world that humans have ever visited. Between 1969 and 1972, twelve astronauts visited the Moon, exploring, experimenting and collecting rocks and soil, to help us learn more.

The Moon has a gravitational pull on the Earth, and it this that causes the tides of the oceans. The Moon's latin name is "Luna", and it is around 240,000 miles away from the Earth.

Neptune has been visited in 1 spacecraft. On Aug 25 1989. Neptune has a mark on it caused by violent storms. The wind on Neptune blows at 1,300 miles per hour. Neptune is 4.500.000.000 km from the sun. Neptune is the most distant planet. Neptune is named after the roman god of the sea. In greek mythology. He is known as poseidon. Neptune is very cold it is a dark and windy planet. The atmosphere is made out hydrogen,helium and methane. The reason Neptune is blue is due to a specific gas named methane. Neptune has 14 confirmed moons.  A day on Neptune is less than a day on Earth. It lasts for only 16 hours. One year on Neptune is 165 years on Earth. The name Neptune was given to the seventh discovered planet Uranus. In Chinese,Vietnamese,Japanese and
korean the name Neptune is translated as "sea king star" while in Mongolian Neptune is called dolain van. In modern greek Neptune's name is Poseidon. While in Maori Neptune is called god of the sea.

Pluto orbits the Sun about 3.6 billion miles (5.8 billion km) away on average, about 40 times as far as Earth, in a region called the Kuiper Belt.

Pluto is one third made out of water. Its atmosphere is very similar to that of a comet since it collapses as it moves away from the Sun, and expands as it gets close.

Pluto doesn’t seem to have a magnetic field.

Pluto used to be classed as a planet of the solar system, but is now considered to be a dwarf planet, and a part of the Kuiper belt.
