The Solar-System

Here, I decided not to write as much as my previous entries. I will just write about the solar-system as a whole.
The Solar-System as a whole, consists of eight planets and their 172 known moons, asteroids, comets, dust & gas.. And of course, also the dwarf planets & their moons, and other flying bodies.... xp
Most of the bodies of our solar-system travel around the Sun along nearly circular paths, also known as orbits. They all travel in an anti-clockwise direction when you see the whole solar-system from above.
This formation of this solar-system began billions of years ago (that's a VERY long time if you think about it!).. It began when dust & gases came together to form the Sun & other bodies in our solar-system.
