 Everything in the Solar
System orbits or revolves
around the Sun.
 The larger an object is, the
more gravity it has.
Because the Sun is so large,
its powerful gravity attracts
all the other objects in the
Solar System towards it.
1. A planet is a celestial body that is
in orbit around the sun.
2. It has sufficient mass that its self
gravity forms the body into a
spherical shape.
3. It has cleared the neighborhood
around its orbit.
