EXAMPLE

• Universe consists of planets. 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 orbits 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 gives name to some of the planets. Tile word
planet comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer if a person wanders, this 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
