1. What is gravity?
  Gravity makes planets, moons and all objects in  space. Gravity is the force that keeps us on the earth and makes us not fly away. For example if there was no gravity we would be floating right now.

2. What is the position,motion and components of our solar system?
   The sun is the middle of our solar system. The sun has a strong gravitation pull so all planets orbit around it. That includes dwarf planets like Pluto, astroids and big planets like Venus. Each day we travel around the sun 1,598,400 miles. The major components of our solar system are the planets. There are 2 types of planets: The gas giants which include Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The terrestrial planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

3. Interesting facts about space
 Pluto is smaller than the U.S.A. Pluto was considered a planet until 2006 when scientists made a category 'dwarf planets' where Pluto is now.
 Mars is named after the Roman god.

4.Compare the environment of Earth VS your planet

 The fastest speed of wind on Saturn is about 1,500 km/h, while the fastest speed of wind ever on Earth was 408 km/h. Also the atmosphere on Saturn is made up of hydrogen and helium and, on the Earth it is made out of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, 0.9% argon, 0.03% carbon dioxide and water vapor. Saturn has an average temperature of -178 Celsius, and Earth has an average temperature of 15 Celsius. If a human were to land on Saturn they would sink until the bottom and then get crushed like an egg. But when astronauts enter Earth's atmosphere they would live. Saturn is the 6th planet from the sun and Earth is the 3rd. Did you know Saturn is named after the Greek god Kronos and Earth is named simply after the ground
