    Our solar system consists of nine planets that orbit the Sun. The planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Earth. Earth is the only planet that supports life and has one moon. The other planets have unique characteristics such as Venus having a thick atmosphere, Mars having seasonal changes, and Jupiter being the largest planet composed mostly of hydrogen and helium. The Sun is at the center of the solar system and provides heat and light to the planets.
