MY OWN PLANET
We have nine planets in our Solar System. These planets circle around the Sun (as I`m sure you know already). This is called orbits. A lot of astronomy people like to think of the Solar System been made up in two parts. We have the Inner Solar System wich has Mercury, Venus, Earth and not forgetting Mars. These are closest to the Sun an are called the terrestrial planets simply beacuse they have very solid rockly surfaces. The Outer Solar System has Jupiter, Saturn, uranus and Neptune. These are sometimes called the gas giants.
Out past Neptune you’ll find the small planet of Pluto which has a solid but icier surface. Many don’t class this as a planet anymore but you can read this on the Pluto page.
These two systems are separated by the asteroid belt.
Our Solar System also contains comets, moons, dust, gas and some minor planets.
This is an example of the bilingual project of students in First Year ESO. Their task is to create a new planet, a planet of their own. We encourage among them originality, own iniciative and team work.
