• The Consisting 9 Members of the Solar System are The Sun, Comets, Meteoroids, Meteor, Meteor Shower, Meteorites, Asteroid, Planets and Dwarf Planets
• The Sun is a star and a Huge ball of hot gases
• The Sun is the center of the solar system and is the source of energy for the solar system.
• Celestial bodies which is too small to be considered as planets is called The Dwarf Planets
• A Comet is made up of dust and rock particles. Comets also revolves around the sun and a comet consists of 4 parts
• 4 parts of a comet is: Nucleus, Ion Tail, Coma and Dust tail
• Meteoroids are pieces of dust and rocks that break from comet's nucleus
• Meteors are Meteoroids that are burning rocks that enters the Earth's atmosphere
• Meteor shower is when more meteors are seen in the atmosphere of the Earth
• Meteorites are meteors when they hit the Earth's surface
• Asteroids are also known as planetoids. These are small pieces of rocks and metals that orbit around the Sun, Between Mars and Jupiter
• Planets are celestial bodies that revolves around the sun and consists of 8 of them
• The Nebular Theory is a theory that describe how sun and planets formed from rotating disk
• A region in the solar system where asteroids can be found oribiting between the orbit of Mars and Jupiter is known as the Asteroid Belt
