The sun is the star, just one of billions of stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Although it is very huge
and can fit around 1,400,000 earths inside it, the sun is smaller than the other stars.

Do you know how the sun shines? The sun consists almost entirely of hydrogen and helium gas.
At its centre, the temperature is very high and it helps in turning hydrogen into helium. This produces
a lot of energy which keeps the sun shining. The sun lies at the center of the solar system and there
are eight planets in the solar system. Among these planets, the earth is the only planet which has
water, which is needed for life to exist. The earth’s distance from the sun produces exactly the right
temperature range needed for living organisms to survive.

Jupiter is the largest of all the planets. It is big enough to contain all the other planets together.
Jupiter is also known as a ‘gas giant’, because of its thick Gassy outer layer. Saturn is the second
largest planet. It has many bright rings around it. Saturn has a large number of moons like Jupiter.
