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.

The increasing employment of Indonesian women workers
comes mostly from middle-and-upper-income families.
This is because many of them have got higher education.
Today more than half of all women college graduates are
employed, compared to four out often high school
graduates, three out often elementary school graduates, and
only two out often among those with less than grade five
in school. Most of the working girls in the 1980s were
unskilled, but today's working women have considerably
more education than those who do not work. Among the
working women only three fourths are high school
graduates and less than 10 percent have not been to high
school at all.
Most well-educated middle class working women hold
white collar or professional jobs. Although many other
kinds of work are offered to college graduated women,
clerical work and teaching are mostly preferred. About
three fifths of the girls who are graduated from high
schools take clerical jobs.
