The Solar System
To begin, the universe is defined as everything that exists. It is not incorrect to state that the universe contains more than 100 billion galaxies. Nonetheless, it is so large that scientists had to construct a new unit to measure it: the Light Year, which is the distance light travels in one year. A galaxy is a massive collection of stars, and Earth is a component of the galaxy that is known as the Milky Way.
The Planets of the Solar System
There are eight countable planets in the Solar System that orbit the Sun.
The Sun is at its exact position, and all planets orbit it.
Aside from that, Pluto is located beyond Neptune. In 2006, it was designated as the eighth planet. However, the scientists have now categorized Pluto as a (dwarf planet).
Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, is the hottest; Jupiter, with 61 moons, is the largest. Furthermore, they do not have their own light and must rely on the light of the Sun. As a result, all planets are said to be non-Luminous. The Sun, on the other hand, is known as Luminous because it emits its own light.
Whenever one planet or moon blocks light from another as the planets follow elliptical paths. The Moon orbits some planets, including Earth.
Only Earth appears to be capable of supporting life in the form that we know it.
Eclipses and the Moon
The Moon is regarded as the Earth’s natural satellite.
It revolves around the Earth in the same way that the Earth and other planets revolve around the Sun. It is known to be the nearest neighbor in space and the only other portion of the solar system explored by mankind.
It rotates once in the time it takes Earth to complete one orbit. This means that the moon always faces the same direction as the Earth. Only from space can one perceive the dark side.
As a result, the moon does not have lightness; rather, the brightness of the Sun is reflected to it. Furthermore, the moon is smaller than the Earth and has a rocky surface.
