The solar system is a complex and fascinating collection of celestial bodies, including asteroids, comets, planets, and the sun. Asteroids, primarily found in the belt between Mars and Jupiter, are rocky objects with over a million identified, the first being Ceres, discovered by Giuseppe Pazz.
scientist think that there are over one million asteroids in the belt
are similar to comets

comets
a comet is made out of 4 components
a iron tail
a coma
a dust tail
nucleus
there are over 3,000 known comets today
orbits around sun
are made out of ice dirt balls
the brightest comet can be seen with the naked eye on earth
are in the outer solar system
takes less them 200 years to orbit around the sun
shaped like asteroids
Main topic
moons
one day is 27 earth days
the moon makes earth more livable
from 1960 to 1980 NASA sent nine missions to the moon
only six of the nine missions landed on the moon
distance from earth is 239 000 miles
the max temperature is 253 and
the min temperature is -387
from earth the moon apers to change shape. the moon auchly doesn't change shape the Moon orbits Earth. ... As it moves around Earth, more and more of the lit side comes into view on the sun. Then it begins to disappear again. It takes 29.5 days for the Moon to orbit Earth.
sun
the heat of the suns core is about 27 million degrees Fahrenheit
Made out of gass
the other 0.5% is made up of small amounts of many other elements such as neon, iron, silicon, magnesium and sulfur.
Carbon, nitrogen and oxygen make up 1.5%
about 70% hydrogen
about 28% helium
when the Sun dies it will glow red and grow so big and swallow all the other planets and then shrink into a white dwarf planet
the sun is 4.5 billion years old
the temperature of the sun is 10,000 degrees
Fahrenheit
the sun is a yellow dwarf star
without the suns energy and heat there would be no life on earth
the sun doesn't have rings
Is a star
inner Planets
Mercury
Takes 59 earth days for on full rotation
Is a Terrestrial planet
Takes 88 earth days for one year
slightly bigger then earths moon
Earth
