Planets
- Our Solar System consists of 8 planets, categorized into 2 groups: terrestrial and gas giants.
- Terrestrial planets are dense, rocky, and have a solid surface, comprising Mercury, Mars, Venus, and Earth.
- Gas giants are low-density, composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, and have no solid surface, consisting of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Moons
- There are 193 known moons in our Solar System, which are natural satellites orbiting around planets.
- Moons vary in size, composition, and orbital patterns.
- Notable moons include Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto (Jupiter's largest moons), Titan and Enceladus (Saturn's largest moons), and the Moon (Earth's only moon).
Asteroids
- Asteroids are small, rocky objects that orbit the Sun, mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
- They vary in size and shape, with notable asteroids including Ceres (largest asteroid and now classified as a dwarf planet) and Vesta (second-largest asteroid).
Comets
- Comets are icy bodies that release gas and dust as they approach the Sun, composed of dust, water, and other frozen gases.
- They originate from the outer Solar System, with two main types: short-period comets (taking less than 200 years to orbit the Sun) and long-period comets (taking more than 200 years to orbit the Sun).
Kuiper Belt
- The Kuiper Belt is a region of the Solar System beyond Neptune's orbit, containing many small, icy bodies and other celestial objects.
- It is thought to be a reservoir of short-period comets and is similar to the asteroid belt, but composed of icy material instead of rock.
- Notable objects in the Kuiper Belt include Pluto, Eris, and Haumea, all classified as dwarf planets.
