The solar system is big. The solar system is made up of the sun, eight planets, satellites, asteroids, meteoroids, and comets. Each of these bodies are held to each other by the force of gravity.
The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Mercury is closest to the sun. Neptune is the farthest. Remember the order of the planets like this:
