As I mentioned in the last part of this article that there are areas called where a star pulls many planet with its gravitational field. As of our solar system it is made up of a star—the Sun—eight planets, 146 moons, a bunch of comets, asteroids and space rocks, ice, and several dwarf planets, such as Pluto. The eight planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

Planets

Jupiter

Jupiter as mentioned in the last part of this article is the largest planet in the Solar System. It is a gas giant so you can't land on its surface. But it still has strong gravitational field. And fun fact is that on it is a storm that is going on for years, decades or even centuries.

Saturn

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine and a half times that of Earth. Its rings are beautiful and large but they are thin. Some information came from Wikipedia.

Uranus

Often mispronounced Ur-anus it's pronunciation is actually Ur-an-us. And it also has rings. It is an ice giant and has a solid surface. It's atmosphere is like of Saturn's and Jupiter's because of its primary composition consists of hydrogen and helium.

Neptune

The last but not least Neptune. The planet orbits the Sun once every 164.8 years at an average distance of 30.1 AU (4.5 billion km; 2.8 billion mi). It is named after the Roman god of the sea and has the astronomical symbol ♆, representing Neptune's trident. This information is also from Wikipedia.
