Understanding the Solar System
Welcome to today’s seminar on the solar system. We will begin by discussing the Sun, which is the center of our solar system. The Sun is a star that provides light and heat to the planets orbiting it.
Next, we will move on to the inner planets, which include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are relatively small and rocky.
After the inner planets, we will cover the outer planets, which consist of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Unlike the inner planets, these are larger and mostly made of gases.
Finally, we'll conclude with the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud, which contain many small icy bodies and comets, marking the edge of our solar system.
