Solar System

The solar system is made up of 9 planets, one star, one hundred moons, millions of  Asteroids and billions of comets.  The solar system is very dark and has no gravity.  The solar system is made up of two bits.  The two systems are separated by a Asteroid belt.  How long does it take Pluto to orbit once around the sun?

Firstly,  the planets.  The milky way has 9 planets including Pluto.  The planets are Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus and Mercury.  The first part of the solar system are the closest to the sun these are called Terrestrial with the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.  The other half are sometimes called the gas giants with the planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.  Jupiter is the biggest planet.  It has a width of 142,750 kilometres.

Secondly, there are about 7 main moons in the milky way.  The names of the moons are The moon, IO, Phobos, Deimos, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto.  Four of the moons are from Jupiter, two from mars and one Earth.  The largest of all is Ganymede.  Deimos’s two biggest creators are about 1 or 2 kilometres.  The moon was made about 4.5 billion years ago.  The Moon was made because a large object hit Earth, rocks came out and formed a round object to start orbiting around the Earth and thats how the Moon was made.

Thirdly , the sun.  The Sun gives life to the Earth because if the Sun was nothing then the Earth would be frozen and wouldn’t have life.  The Earth would be frozen and there would not be enough photosynthesis and oxygen for humans, animals or anything to live on so that is why we need the Sun.  The sun is actually a star of millions and millions in the milky way. The Sun measures 4.730,005 kilometres around the circuit

Finally, the conclusion. The answer to my initial question (How long does it take Pluto to orbit once around the sun) is 248 years to orbit once around the sun.  The solar system is a enormous space outside of Earth.
