1. What is the relationship between the planets and the sun?
By Harry Cummins

2. The beginning
Billions of years ago a big bang took place a bang that gave birth to our Solar System…
Today you will walk out of this room with a new thought on your minds a thought about the planets and how they relate to our nearest star The Sun.

3. The Solar System
Today astronomers are trying to find other galaxies far away by using high Tech. Equipment such as small probes and rockets.
Our Solar System is made up of billions of stars and it is theorized that for each grain of sand on Earth there is a star. Of course there are the planets all 8 of them.
Join me on my journey of the planets and the Sun

16. Conclusion
For a conclusion I have to say that the sun is bigger and hotter than all the planets, just to paint a picture in your head about how big the sun is…
The Sun's mass is about 333,000 times Earth's mass. An object at the Sun's surface would weigh 28 times as much as it does on Earth's surface because it is way bigger so it must have more gravity
