Passage:
The solar system is made up of the Sun and everything that orbits around it. This includes eight planets:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The Sun is the center of the solar
system, and its gravity keeps all the planets in their orbits. The Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and it
is the only planet known to have life. The largest planet in our solar system is Jupiter, while the smallest is
Mercury.
