A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star. There are nine planets in our solar

system, and these nine planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are Mercury, Venus,

Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Planets travel in orbits around their stars . All of

the planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large,

flat circles. The time that it takes a planet to make one revolution around the sun is called its year.

The Greek were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets. The word

planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer. If a person wanders, this means that he goes

from one place to another and does not have a home. The Greek thought that the planets

“wandered” in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets very

accurately
