SCIENCE CONCEPTS:
• There are eight planets in the solar system: Mercury,
Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
• The four inner solar system planets (Mercury, Venus,
Earth, and Mars) fall under the category of terrestrial
planets;
• Jupiter and Saturn are gas giants (giant plants composed
mostly of hydrogen and helium) while
Uranus and Neptune are the ice giants (containing mainly
elements heavier than hydrogen and helium).
• Pluto, a dwarf planet, was classified as one of the
solar system planets when it was first discovered
by Clyde Tombaugh.
• However, it is now considered to be one of the
largest known members of the Kuiper Belt — a
collection of icy bodies on the outer fringes of the
solar system.
• Pluto was demoted from its planetary status in
2006 when a body of scientists decided a
formalized definition for the term “planet.”
According to the
International Astronomical Union's definition, a planet
is: “a celestial body that
• (a) is in orbit around the Sun,
• (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to
overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a
hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and
• (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.”
• Because Pluto is part of the Kuiper Belt, and
therefore has not met the third criterion, it is no
longer considered a planet.
• Instead, it is classified as a dwarf planet. Other dwarf
planets include Ceres, Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.
• With an atmosphere, stark surface features, and
at least five moons, Pluto is the most complex dwarf planet
we know, and one of the most surprising solar system
planets. New Horizons flew by our favorite dwarf planet in
July 2015 and scientists continue to uncover
surprising details about this faraway world.
 Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and the smallest
planet in the solar system — it is only a little larger than
Earth's moon.
• Mercury zips around the sun in only 88 days and because
it is so close to our star (about two-fifths the distance
between Earth and the sun).
