Some are small enough to fit in a grain of sand, while others are so huge they have their own moons. Learning about the planets will make them more interested in space. The Sun is the star at the center of our solar system. It is composed of hot gas, providing abundant light and heat. The Earth orbits the moon. There are also eight planets in our solar system. The smallest is Mercury, and the largest is Jupiter. The planets rotate on their axis as they move around the Sun. One rotation of our planet is equal to a revolution of the Earth.
