Planet is a natural celestial body that orbits around a star, and are made up of gas, dust, and rock and have their own gravitational field. There are eight planets in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Each planet has its own unique characteristics such as size and composition. Mercury is the smallest planet while Jupiter is the largest. The inner planets (Mercury to Mars) are composed mostly of rock while the outer planets (Jupiter to Neptune) are composed mostly of gas or ice. All planets rotate on an axis and orbit around the sun in elliptical paths at different speeds depending on their distance from the sun. The study of planets is known as planetary science which includes topics such as geology and astronomy among others.
