If you want to teach your kids about space, you might want to read the following facts about the Solar System. The solar system is composed of trillions of stars. Some of these star systems are believed to be home to life. Here are some of the most fascinating facts about the Solar System. Hopefully, this book has helped to spark your child's interest in space! Here are some fun facts about our own planets. The planets in our solar system are made of solid matter. The gas giants do not have solid surfaces. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. These pieces of rock and dust make up the asteroid belt. Some are small enough to fit in a grain of sand, while others are so huge they have their own moons. Learning about the planets will make them more interested in space. The Sun is the star at the center of our solar system. It is composed of hot gas, providing abundant light and heat. The Earth orbits the moon. There are also eight planets in our solar system. The smallest is Mercury, and the largest is Jupiter. The planets rotate on their axis as they move around the Sun. One rotation of our planet is equal to a revolution of the Earth. This means that the earth would have to travel 450 years to travel the same distance as Usain Bolt.
