All about the Solar system

what is Solar System? the collection of eight planets and their moons in orbit round the sun, together with smaller bodies in the form of asteroids, meteoroids, and comets.

1.what planet is the closes to the sun? Mercury





2.what is the planet that has rings around it? the planets in the Solar System have rings. They are the four giant gas planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Saturn, which has by far the largest ring system, was known to have rings for a long time. It was not until the 1970s that rings were discovered around the other gas planets




3.Are the asteroids the remains of a planet which broke apart?Astronomers think that the asteroid belt is made up of material that was never able to form into a planet, or of the remains of a planet which broke apart a very long time ago. The asteroids in the asteroid belt come in a variety of sizes. Some are very small less than a mile across while others are quite large.





4.Do asteroids hit the Sun? Image result for Do asteroids hit the Sun?
The corona, though very hot, is too thin to transfer much heat. Instead, the intense glare of solar radiation sublimates ices into gas that escapes into space or causes the comets to crack apart. But recently observed comets have made it closer to the sun's surface than ever before.



How did asteroids form and what is the difference between an asteroid and a comet? The main difference between asteroids and comets is their composition, as in, what they are made of. Asteroids are made up of metals and rocky material, while comets are made up of ice, dust and rocky material. Both asteroids and comets were formed early in the history of the solar system about 4.5 billion years ago.

Here is a picture of the Solar System and all the planets.
