Our Solar System
Know that there are other planets besides Earth and that our group of planets orbiting the Sun is called the solar system — and that space is the vast area beyond Earth's sky
What a learner can do afterwards
- State that Earth is a planet and there are other planets too
- Use the term 'solar system' to describe the Sun and the planets that orbit it
- Explain that space is the area beyond the Earth's sky, where the planets and stars are
The lesson
Earth is a planet. It is not the only one. Many other planets exist too. All of them circle around the Sun.
Leo asks his dad a question. 'What do we call the Sun and its planets?' Dad says, 'That group is called the solar system.'
Space is very big. It is beyond Earth's sky. That is where planets and stars are.
Earth and other planets circle the Sun in our solar system.
