The Earth is part of the Sun’s family of planets, known as the Solar System.
The Sun itself is a star and only looks so bright to us because it is so close, compared to other stars in the universe.
There are nine giant planets, including Earth, and thousands of dwarf planets and asteroids in the Solar System and they are all controlled by the Sun.
The larger planets are made up mostly of gases and ice with rocky cores and the smaller, inner, principle planets are more solid. The Earth is the only planet able to support life.
