The text: our solar system : A solar system is made up of a star, the planets that orbit (or circle) it, and everything else that is held in by the gravity of the star. Our solar system is made up of the sun, the planets, and millions of smaller objects. Such as asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. Our solar system is one of many solar systems in the universe. Astronomers have found at least fifty other solar systems so far. The sun comprises only gases. Gas, such as air, is matter that has no shape. The middle, or core, of the sun contains hydrogen gas, which comes from the chemical hydrogen. Hydrogen goes through fusion to make a different 3

4 kind of gas, called helium. Fusion gives off heat and light energy, this energy is so powerful that the core of the sun has a temperature of about 15 million degrees Celsius(27 million degrees Fahrenheit ). Everything that lives on Earth needs the heat and light of the sun in order to survive. In our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the inner planets. They are the closest planets to the sun. they are a group of rocky planets. The inner planets are surrounded, or circled, by a large ring of asteroids, called an asteroid belt. Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are the outer planets. They are farther away from the sun. they probably do not have solid surfaces. They have thick outer layers of gas. Thin rings of dust, rock, and ice surround each of the outer planets. Most of the planets have at least one moon. Pluto is the planet farthest from the sun. Pluto is a tiny, solid planet with a strange orbit. The path it makes around the sun is not like the paths of the other planets. Most astronomers do not think of Pluto as a very important planet. Many smaller objects orbit the sun. Asteroids are the largest of these objects. Most astronomers are found in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. The largest Known asteroid, Ceres, is about 925 kilometers (575 miles) across. Comets are made of ice and rock. Comets come from the coldest parts of our solar system. Objects in this part of the solar system are sometimes pushed into new orbit. As a comet gets close to the sun, the ice in its core turns to gas. It leaves a trail of glowing dust and gases behind it, called a tail. 4

5 The other objects in our solar system break off from asteroid,comets, and moons. These broken chunks of rock and metal are called meteoroids. Sometimes one of these space rocks lands on Earth. When this happens, it reminds us that there are other objects in our solar system. تسخ ت اى ص : ظب ب اىش ع : ظب ا طمظ ٠ تى و اوت ا د ا ت تذ س, ر ه و ش ء آخش ا ز ٠ مب ف خط سح ا د. ٠ تى ظب ب ا ش غ ا ش ظ ا ى اوت ا ال ١٠ االخغب ا صغ ١ شح ث ا زثزثبد ا ى ٠ ىجبد ا ١ بصن. ظب ب ا ش غ ازذ ا ؼذ ٠ ذ ا ظب ا ش غ ف ػ بء ا ف ه ا ى خذد بال ٠ م ػ خ غ ١ ظب ش غ اخش زت اال. ا ش ظ تتى ا غبصاد ث ا اء, ا غأ خ ا ت ١ ظ ب شى. عػ ا خ ش ا ش ظ ٠ ست ػ غبص ا ١ ذس خ ١ ا ت تأت ا ١ ذس خ ١ ا ى ١ ١ بئ ١ خ, ا ١ ذس خ ١ ٠ ز ت خالي اال ص بس دؼ ع خت ف ا غبص, ٠ ذػ ا ١ ١. اال ص بس ٠ ؼط لجب خ ا سشاسح ا طبلخ ا خف ١ فخ. ز ا طبلخ ل ٠ خ خذا خ ش ا ش ظ ذ ٠ دسخخ زشاسح ز ا ١ 15 دسخخ ئ ٠ خ. و ب ٠ ؼ ١ ش ػ األسض ٠ ستبج زشاسح ظ ء ا ش ظ أخ ا جمبء ػ ل ١ ذ ا س ١ بح. ف ظب ب ا ش غ ا ضئجك ف ١ ط األسض ا ش ٠ خ ا ى اوت ا ذاخ ١ خ زت الشة ا ى اوت ا ا ش ظ ف د ػخ ا ى اوت ا صخش ٠ خ تس ١ ػ ا ى اوت ا ذاخ ١ خ ا سبغخ ثذائشح ز مخ وج ١ شح ا ى ٠ ىجبد تذػ زضا ا ى ٠ ىجبد. و وت ا شتش, صز, ا سا ط جت ا ى اوت ا خبسخ ١ خ زت اثؼذ ا ش ظ فإ ب سث ب ال ت ه األعطر ا ص جخ ا ت ذ ٠ ب غجمبد خبسخ ١ خ ع ١ ىخ ا غبص, ز مبد سل ١ مخ ا صخ س ا غجبس ا د ١ ذ تس ١ ػ و ا ى اوت ا خبسخ ١ خ ؼظ ا ى اوت ذ ٠ ب ل ش ازذ ػ األل. ث ت ا ى وت االثؼذ ثب غجخ ش ظ. ث ت ص ت صغ ١ ش ا ى وت غ ذاس غش ٠ ت, ا طش ٠ ك ا ز ٠ دؼ ز ي ا ش ظ ١ ظ ث غبساد ا ى اوت األخش. ؼظ ػ بء ا ف ه ال ٠ فىش ف ث ت ثبػتجبس ب خ خذا ى وت وث ١ ش االخغب أصغش ذاس ا ش ظ. ا ى ٠ ىجبد اوجش ز ا ىبئ بد, خذد ؼظ ا ى ٠ ىجبد ف زضا ا ى ٠ ىجبد ث ١ ا ش ٠ خ ا شتش اوجش و ٠ ىت ا ؼش ف ع ١ ش ٠ ظ ز ا 925 و ١ تش ػجش ا زثزثبد ص ػخ ا د ١ ذ ا صخ س تأت اثشد خضء ظب ب ا ش غ, فإ االخغب ا خ دح ف زا ا دضء ا ظب ا ش غ تذفغ أز ١ ب ب ا ذاساد خذ ٠ ذح. و ب ا زثزة ٠ سص ػ مشثخ ا ش ظ, ا د ١ ذ ف خ ش ب ٠ تس ي ا غبص ٠ تسشن ع خ ا غجبس ا غبصاد ت دخ ساء ر ه ٠ ذػ ر ٠. 5
