    The solar system is our local cosmic neighborhood, consisting of the Sun at its center and various

    celestial objects bound to it by gravity. Here's a quick overview:

    The Sun

     A massive star made of hydrogen and helium, the Sun provides the energy that sustains life
    on Earth and drives the solar system's dynamics.

    Planets

    There are eight planets, categorized as terrestrial and gas/ice giants:

    1. Mercury: Closest to the Sun, rocky, and has extreme temperature swings.

    2. Venus: Similar in size to Earth, with a thick atmosphere that traps heat, making it the hottest
    planet.

    3. Earth: The only planet known to support life, with liquid water on its surface.

    4. Mars: Known as the "Red Planet," it has the largest volcano and canyon in the solar system.

    5. Jupiter: The largest planet, famous for its Great Red Spot and numerous moons.

    6. Saturn: Known for its stunning ring system made of ice and rock.

    7. Uranus: A tilted ice giant with faint rings, it spins on its side.

    8. Neptune: The farthest planet, known for its deep blue color and intense storms.

    Dwarf Planets

     Pluto, Eris, Haumea, Makemake, and Ceres are classified as dwarf planets.

    Moons

    There are over 200 moons in the solar system, orbiting planets and dwarf planets. For example,
    Jupiter's Ganymede is the largest moon, and Saturn's Titan has a dense atmosphere.

    Asteroids and Comets

     Asteroids: Mostly found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

     Comets: Made of ice and dust, they develop tails when approaching the Sun.

    Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud

     Kuiper Belt: A region beyond Neptune filled with icy bodies and dwarf planets.

     Oort Cloud: A theoretical shell of icy objects far beyond the Kuiper Belt.
