      Think


      Today, experts agree that there is no single place that can be considered the centre of the universe.

      But there were different theories in the past.

      What parts of the Solar System are described?

      1. These small, rocky fragments can be found in the Kuiper Belt, beyond Neptune.

      2. It is made up of hydrogen and helium. Its surface temperature is about 6,000 degrees Celsius.

      3. Comets come from here. It surrounds the Solar System.

      4. Many asteroids are found in this part, that lies between Mars and Jupiter.

      5. This group consists of Mercury, Venus, the Earth and Mars. They orbit close to the Sun.
