A planet is a body in space that revolves around a star.
There are nine planets in our solar system, and these nine
planets travel around the sun. The names of the planets are
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto.
Planets travel in orbit around the stars. All of the planets of
the solar system revolve in elliptical orbits. In other words,
their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes
a planet to make one revolution around the sun is called a
year.
The Greeks were the first people to recognize and give
names to some of the planets. The word planet comes from
a Greek word meaning wanderer. If a person wanders, tills
means that he goes from one place to another and does not
have a home. The Greeks thought that planets "wandered"
in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the
movement of the planets very accurately.

graduates, three out often elementary school graduates,

graduates and less than 10 percent have not been to high
school at all.
