THE SOLAR SYSTEM
Hi, I’m Sunny, your home star,
the Sun!!!
Did you know that I´m your
neighbor?
Space is a really big place.
But it doesn´t seem quite so
big when you realize that the
universe is made up of
Galaxies, which are like cities
on Earth.
And just like your
neighborhood in your city on
Earth, you live in a
neighborhood in space.
It’s called our Solar System!!
Would you like to learn more
about you neighborhood, and
meet your Solar System
neighbors?

orbits around a
star (like our sun)
and is big enough
that it forms into
the shape of a
sphere because of
its own gravity.
There are 8 planets in our solar
system. In order from the Sun
they are Mercury, Venus, Earth,
Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
neptune.
