Our solar system is fascinating! Did you know that our sun is really a star? It takes 8 minutes 17 seconds for light to travel from the Sun to Earth?
Here are some more interesting facts about the solar system:
Uranus rolls on its side like a barrel, while the other planets spin upright like a top.
Venus spins in the opposite direction of the other planets.
The most volcanic activity in our Solar System takes place on Io, one of Jupiter's moons.
Pluto lost its planet status in 2006. It is now considered a dwarf planet because the ratio of its mass to that of everything else within its orbit is not big enough.
