<div>The solar system is the sun and all the objects in orbit around the sun.<ref>Freedman, Kaufmann: ''Universe'', 7th edition</ref> Objects orbiting the sun include planets, moons, asteroids, and comets.<br />
<br />
==Planets==<br />
A [[planet]] is defined as an object that orbits the [[sun]], is massive enough that its own gravity pulls it into a nearly round shape, and is dominant enough to clear away objects in its neighborhood. <ref>http://www.nasa.gov/vision/universe/solarsystem/planetsf-20060824.html</ref> There are 8 planets in the solar system. They are, in order of increasing distance from the sun:<ref>The third grade</ref><br />
*[[Mercury]]<br />
*[[Venus]]<br />
*[[Earth]]<br />
*[[Mars]]<br />
*[[Jupiter]]<br />
*[[Saturn]]<br />
*[[Uranus]]<br />
*[[Neptune]]<br />
<br />
The first four planets are [[terrestrial planets]], the last 4 planets are [[jovian planets]]. Terrestrial planets are small in size, have high densities, and consist of rocky materials. Jovian planets are large in size, have low densities, and consist of gaseous materials.<br />
<br />
==Dwarf Planets==<br />
A [[dwarf planet]] is an object that orbits the sun and has a round shape. The crucial difference between a planet and a dwarf planet is that a dwarf planet is not large enough to clear the neighborhood of its orbit. Currently recognized dwarf planets are:<ref>http://www.answers.com/topic/dwarf-planet</ref><br />
*[[Pluto]]<br />
*[[Eris]]<br />
*[[Ceres]]<br />
<br />
==Asteroids==<br />
[[Asteroids]] are irregularly shaped chunks of rocks in the solar system. They exist mostly in 2 places:<br />
<br />
*The [[asteroid belt]], which is between the orbits of [[Mars]] and [[Jupiter]]<br />
*The [[Kuiper belt]], which shares its orbit with [[Pluto]]<br />
<br />
==Comets==<br />
[[Comets]] are chunks of dust and ice. Some are in an [[ellipse|elliptical]] orbit around the sun, meaning that they will return someday. Some are in a [[hyperbola|hyperbolic]] orbit around the sun, meaning that they will only come into the solar system once and will never return.<br />

<div>An [[atom]] is made of three particles, protons, [[neutron|neutrons]], and [[electron|electrons]]. Protons and [[neutron|neutrons]] make up the nucleus of the atom.<ref>Serway, Beichner: ''Physics for Scientists and Engineers'', 5th edition</ref><br />
<br />
<br />
A proton is made up of two up [[quark|quarks]] and one down [[quark]]. According to the [[Standard Model]] of particle physics, quarks are [[fundamental particles]], meaning that they cannot be split into smaller particles.<ref>Krane: ''Modern Physics'', 2nd edition</ref><br />
