Our solar system consists of the sun, planets, dwarf planets, asteroids, moons, meteoroids and comets.

The sun's temperature is about 5, 500°C at the surface and about 15, 000.000°C at the core.

The outermost layer of the sun is the corona. The corona is visible only during a total solar eclipse.

The outer planets are much larger than the terrestrial planets and are made up of gases hence, they are called gas giants.

Mars is similar to Earth as Mars is a rocky and dusty planet with polar ice caps like Earth.
