About this ebook
One light year is equivalent to 10,000 billion miles. Our solar system is shifting towards Hercules constellation of stars at a speed of 19.3 kilometers per second. The sky of the earth is blue; the sky of Mars is pinkish-orange because of the dust present in the atmosphere. For thousands of years man had no knowledge about the solar system. He had believed that earth alone was the centre point of the universe.
Nicolas Copernicus, Galileo Galilee, John’s Kepler and Isaac Newton well known astronomers by studying about the speed and movements of the planets have today brought to our knowledge that sun is the centre point of the solar system. Among the planets of the solar system only Venus and mercury are not the planets who have their own moons, rather earths one satellite is moon, mars has 2 moons, Jupiter has 63 moons, Saturn has 60, Uranus has 27 and Neptune has 13 moons. The energy that reaches from the sun to the earth, reaches at an electric charge of 1.37 kilowatt electricity per meter.

Our Solar System constitutes of Sun in the centre, and then are the nine planets, more than 60 moons are there, millions of rocky meteors, and billions of frozen comets.

Terrestrial Planets: The four smaller inner planets namely Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are the terrestrial Planets. These terrestrial planets are very dense and are largely composed of rocks, refractory minerals like silicates which form their crusts and mantels, and metals such as iron and nickel which form their cores. Terrestrial planets have few or no moons and no ring systems. Hence the movement of these planets is very slow.
Gaseous Planets: The four outer planets that are gas giants are sometimes also known as Jovian Planets. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the gaseous planets. These planets have ring system and so do they even have several
