Earth: is formed from 4.6 billion year ago. It`s formation is related to the solar system.Some
scientists believe that the sun, planets and other smaller
bodies in the solar system were formed from a large flammable of hot
swirling gases. The flammable was loosely packed gases, largely made up
of hydrogen and helium, and dust particles. Gradually, the gases and dust
particles drew together because of gravitational pull and formed a thin disc.
Through time, the disc split into rings and kept spinning.
In our solar system, there are eight planets, sun, and other smaller bodies like
asteroid, meteoroid and dwarf planets.
Planets: comes from Greek word “Planetia” which means “wanderers”. the
planets revolve around the sun this path is called Orbit. Orbit is a path or way it is
elliptical in shape, when an object revolve on another object the path is called
Orbit.
