How many planets are there in space?

Researchers are: PJ, B.B. & I.P

We found out that …………

There are nine planets in our Solar System. Four of these planets Mars, Venus, Earth and Mercury are the inner planets and they are small and made of rock. The other four planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are the outer planets and called “The Gas Giants” and they are made of gas and ice. The last outer planet is called Pluto and it is a dwarf planet. A dwarf planet means that it is a very, very small planet and you can hardly se it. Some planets have a lot of moons around them.

In other galaxies there are probably other planets but they are too far away to be found by the scientists.
