The sun is the star at the center of the solar system. It is a hot ball of gases that gives off great amounts of energy. Life on Earth depends on light and heat from the sun.The solar system also contains planets, comets, and asteroids. They all orbit, or travel around, the sun. Earth orbits the sun at a distance of about 93 million miles (150 million kilometers). The next-closest star to Earth is about 250,000 times farther away. That is why the sun is by far the brightest object in the sky.The sun is the largest object by far in the solar system. Its diameter, or distance through its center, is about 865,000 miles (1,392,000 kilometers). This is about 109 times bigger than Earth's diameter.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun in the Solar System and the second-smallest solid planet. Mars is rocky and cold, with polar ice caps of frozenwater and carbon dioxide. It has the largest volcano in the Solar System. Mars is named after the mythological Roman god of war because it is a red planet, the colour of blood.
