Solar System

Solar System : The Sun and all the bodies that circle around it in space and bound to it by gravity. They include the planet and their moons, the asteroid, the comets and the smaller lumps of rocks that burn up in the Earth's atmosphere as meteors. From one extreme of the orbit of Pluto to the order, the solar system spans a distance of some 12,000 million km

Can you remember the order of the planet?
