Solar System for Grade 3


🌞 The Solar System

The Solar System is our “space family.” It is made up of the Sun, eight planets, their moons, and many other heavenly bodies like asteroids and comets.
  • The Sun is at the center of the Solar System.
  • The planets move around the Sun in fixed paths called orbits.
 🌟 Heavenly Bodies

Anything we can see in the sky at night or in space is called a heavenly body.
Examples:

Stars (like the Sun)
Planets (like Earth, Mars)
Moons (Earth’s moon)
Asteroids, Meteors, Comets

🌌 Galaxy

A galaxy is a very big group of stars, planets, dust, and gas held together by gravity.
  • There are billions of galaxies in the universe.

🌠 The Milky Way


Our Solar System is part of a galaxy called the Milky Way.
At night, we sometimes see a cloudy band of light in the sky—that’s the Milky Way!

🪐 Planets in Our Solar System

There are eight planets in the Solar System. They are divided into two groups:
Inner Planets (small and rocky):

Mercury – Closest to the Sun, very hot during the day.
Venus – Brightest planet, also called Earth’s twin.
Earth – Our home, the only planet with life, water, and air.
Mars – Called the Red Planet, has dusty land and big mountains.

Outer Planets (big and made of gas/ice):

Jupiter – The biggest planet, has a big red spot (a giant storm).
Saturn – Known for its beautiful rings made of ice and rock.
Uranus – A blue-green planet that spins on its side.
