    The solar system consists of the Sun and objects that orbit it. The major components are 8 planets that orbit the Sun, including Earth. Planets have satellites like Earth's Moon. Other objects include dwarf planets, asteroids, comets, and interplanetary dust. The Sun is a hot ball of plasma that provides energy to the solar system. Planets orbit the Sun, while satellites orbit planets.

    THE SOLAR SYSTEM

    A BRIEF ANALYSIS
    COMPONENTS OF SOLAR SYSTEM
    PLANETS AND
    SUN
    SATELLITES

    DWARF PLANET ASTEROID

    INTERPLANETARY
    COMET
    MEDIUM
    SUN
    The Sun is  the star at  the  centre 
    of  the Solar  System.  It  is  a 
    nearly  perfect  sphere  of 
    hot plasma,  with 
    internal convective  motion  that 
    generates  a magnetic  field via 
    a dynamo  process.. It  is  by  far 
    the  most  important  source 
    of energy for life on Earth.  Its 
    diameter  is  about  1.39  million 
    kilometres
    PLANETS

    A planet is an astronomical
    body orbiting a star or stellar
    remnant that is massive
    enough to be rounded by its
    own gravity, is not massive
    enough to
    cause thermonuclear fusion,
    and has cleared its
    neighbouring
    region of planetesimals.
    8 PLANETS

    PLANETS
    SATELLITES
    A natural  satellite or moon is,  in  the 
    most  common  usage,  an astronomical 
    body that orbits a planet or minor 
    planet (or  sometimes  another small 
    Solar System body).
    In  the Solar  System there  are  six 
    planetary satellite  systems containing 
    175  known  natural  satellites. 
    Four IAU-listed dwarf  planets are  also 
    known  to  have  natural 
    satellites: Pluto, Haumea, Makemake, 
    and Eris. As of October 2016, there are 
    over 300 minor planets known to have 
    moons
    EARTH
    Earth is the planet we live on. It 
    is the third planet from the sun. 
    It  is  the  only  planet  known  to 
    have life on it. Lots of scientists 
    think  the  earth formed  around 
    4.5  billion  years  ago.   It  is  one 
    of  four rocky  planets on  the 
    inside of the Solar System. The 
    other  three 
    are Mercury, Venus and Mars.
    DWARF PLANET
    A dwarf planet is a planetary-mass 
    object that  is  neither  a planet nor 
    a natural  satellite.  That  is,  it  is  in 
    direct  orbit  of  a  star,  and  is 
    massive  enough  for  its  gravity  to 
    compress  it  into  a hydrostatically 
    equilibrious shape  (usually 
    a spheroid),  but  has  not cleared 
    the  neighbourhood of  other 
    material around its orbit.
    ASTEROID
    Asteroids are minor planets, especially those
    of the inner Solar System. The larger ones
    have also been called planetoids. These
    terms have historically been applied to any
    astronomical object orbiting the Sun that
    did not show the disc of a planet and was
    not observed to have the characteristics of
    an active comet. As minor planets in the
    outer Solar System were discovered and
    found to have volatile-based surfaces that
    resemble those of comets, they were often
    distinguished from asteroids of the asteroid
    belt.
    COMET
    A comet is an icy small Solar
    System body that, when passing
    close to the Sun, warms and
    begins to release gases, a process
    called outgassing. This produces
    a visible atmosphere or coma,
    and sometimes also a tail. These
    phenomena are due to the
    effects of solar radiation and
    the solar wind acting upon the
    nucleus of the comet.
    INTERPLANETARY MEDIUM
    The  interplanetary  medium  includes 
    interplanetary dust, cosmic  rays and  hot plasma from 
    the solar  wind.  The  temperature  of  the  interplanetary 
    medium  varies. For dust particles within the asteroid belt, 
    typical temperatures range from 200 K (−73 °C) at 2.2 AU 
    down  to  165 K  (−108 °C)  at  3.2 AU.   The  density  of  the 
    interplanetary  medium  is  very  low,  about  5  particles  per 
    cubic centimetre in the vicinity of the Earth
