The moving planets
Definition:
Planets are big round objects in space that keep moving around the Sun in fixed paths.
Main Points:
All planets move—they never stay still.
They move around the Sun in orbits (special paths like loops).
They also spin on their own axis like a top.
Different planets move at different speeds.
Earth moves too—that’s why we have day, night, and seasons.
Interesting Points:
The planets don’t crash into each other because each has its own orbit.
Mercury is the fastest moving planet.
Neptune is the slowest because it’s far away from the Sun.
Earth moves so smoothly that we don’t even feel it!
Jupiter is the biggest planet but not the fastest.
Fun Fact
Earth zooms around the Sun at 30 km every second!That’s faster than a bullet!
