READING
8 Read the passage. Then answer the questions below. 10%

The Solar System and its planets

The Solar System is made up of the Sun and all of the smaller objects that move around it.
Apart from the Sun, the largest members of the Solar System are the eight major planets.
Nearest the Sun are four fairly small, rocky planets - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars.

Beyond Mars is the asteroid belt – a region populated by millions of rocky objects. These
are left-overs from the formation of the planets, 4.5 billion years ago.

On the far side of the asteroid belt are the four gas giants - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and
Neptune. These planets are much bigger than Earth, but very lightweight for their size. They
are mostly made of hydrogen and helium.

Until recently, the furthest known planet was an icy world called Pluto. However, Pluto is
dwarfed by Earth’s Moon and many astronomers think it is too small to be called a true
planet.

Even further out are the comets of the Oort cloud. These are so far away that they are
invisible in even the largest telescopes. Every so often one of these comets is disturbed and
heads towards the Sun. It then becomes visible in the night sky.

1. How many planets are in our solar system?

A. Seven
B. Six
C. Twelve
D. Eight
