What is the solar system for Grade 6?
WHAT IS THE SOLAR SYSTEM? Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity. Eight giant planets, smaller dwarf planets, and millions of pieces of rocks and ice orbit the Sun. Moons can also be found within the solar system; they are held in orbit around planets by gravity.

What is the difference between a star and a planet ks2?
The main difference between stars and planets is that stars have high temperatures compared to planets. Stars undergo nuclear reactions—usually they burn hydrogen in their cores, releasing massive amounts of energy. Planets do not generate their own energy through nuclear reactions.
What is the dark spot on the Sun?
Sunspots are darker, cooler areas on the surface of the sun in a region called the photosphere. The photosphere has a temperature of 5,800 degrees Kelvin. Sunspots have temperatures of about 3,800 degrees K. They look dark only in comparison with the brighter and hotter regions of the photosphere around them.
Why Pluto is not a planet BYJU’s?
Q2. Pluto was demoted from the status of a planet to that of dwarf planet in 2006 because it: (I) does not have sufficient mass. (II) has not cleared the neighbour around its orbit.

A planet is a large celestial body that revolves around the sun in fixed orbits. Planets do not have any light of their own but reflect the light of the sun. Planets also do not twinkle like stars because they are much closer to us.
Can a star turn into planet?
Yes, a star can turn into a planet, but this transformation only happens for a very particular type of star known as a brown dwarf. Some scientists do not consider brown dwarfs to be true stars because they do not have enough mass to ignite the nuclear fusion of ordinary hydrogen.
What is a planet for Class 2?
A planet is an object that: Revolves around the sun. Has almost a spherical shape. Has sufficient gravity so that the space near its orbit can be free from other objects like rocks, asteroids, comets, etc.
