The planets can be divided into two groups, namely: the

inner planets and the outer planets. Generally, the inner
planets are smaller and are composed of rocks. They
have few or no natural satellites or rings circling them.
The outer planets, on the contrary, often have dozens of
natural satellites and rings. They are composed mostly of
gases. Planets do not produce their own light and heat.
They shine because they reflect the sunlight that falls on
them. They moved around the sun in an elliptical pathway
called an orbit. As they revolve around the sun, they also
spin and rotate. Each planet has an orbit of different
length around the sun. The further the planet from the
sun, the longer its orbit.
