Solar System

Solar system, higher than the birds, pass the clouds and far then the moon a whole host of fascinating objects spanning outer space. We called it solar system because everything is being centered around the sun.

Mercury is the smallest planet in the system much smaller than Earth and one of the five planet which can be seen from the naked eye from Earth. Earth is the only planet which is enrich with all the natural resources and is the only planet which has a health life.
