Hi everyone! Today we are going to tell you some facts/information about our solar system.
1. Comets
A comets is a very small solar system body made mostly of ices mixed with smaller amounts of dust and rock. Most comet are no larger then a few kilometers across.
2. Asteroids
Asteroids are small, rocky solar system bodies populate interplanetary space out to the orbit of Jupiter. There are millions of them, and they are often grouped by their composition. The planetary science community refers to them as minor planets,a general term applied to solar system bodies smaller than moons.
3. Meteorite
Earth is bombarded with millions of tons of space material each day.Most of the objects vaporize in our atmosphere,but some of the larger pieces (from pebbles to boulder-sized rocks)actually fall to the ground.
4. Sun
The sun (or Sol), is the centre of our solar system and is responsible for the Earth's climate and weather.The Sun is an almost perfect sphere with a different of just 10 km in diameter between the poles and the equator.
5. Pluto
Discovered in 1930, Pluto is the second closest dwarf planet to the sun and was at one point classified as the ninth planet. Pluto is the largest dwarf planet but only the second most massive, with Eris being the most massive.
6. Andromeda
The Andromeda Galaxy ( M31) is the closet large to the Milky Way and is one of a few galaxies that can be seen unaided from the Earth. In approximately 4.5 billion years the Andromeda Galaxy and the Milky Way are expected to collide and the result will be a giant elliptical galaxy.
