XII. Read the passage and do the tasks.
The solar system consists of the sun and everything that orbits, or travels around, the sun.
This includes the eight planets and their moons, dwarf planets, and countless asteroids,
comets, and other small, icy objects. However, even with all these things, most of the solar
system is empty space.
The solar system itself is only a small part of a huge system of stars and other objects
called the Milky Way galaxy. The solar system orbits around the centre of the galaxy about
once every 225 million years. The Milky Way galaxy is just one of billions of galaxies that in
turn make up the universe.
The solar system was formed about 4.7 billion years ago. It probably started as a loose
cloud of gas and dust. Scientists think that a force called gravity pulled parts of the cloud
together into clumps. The largest clump was squeezed together so tightly that it got very hot.
This clump eventually became the sun. Over millions of years the other clumps became the
planets. The sun's strong gravity eventually pulled the planets into their orbits. Over time
some of the leftover clumps became asteroids, comets, and other small, icy objects.
The solar system is also known as a planetary system. Since the 1990s scientists have
found many planetary systems beyond our solar system. In these systems, one or more
planets orbit a star - just as the eight planets in our solar system orbit the sun. These planets
are called extrasolar planets. Finding other planetary systems is not easy, however, because
extrasolar planets appear much dimmer than the stars they orbit. As space probes travel
farther away from Earth, they are likely to discover more extrasolar planets.
A. Match the words or phrases with their meanings.
1. asteroid
a. relating to a planet or planets
2. make up
b. one of many large rocks that circle the sun
3. clump
c. to put something together from several different things
4. planetary
d. located outside our solar system
5. extrasolar
e. a solid mass of something such as soil
B. Decide whether the following statements are TRUE or FALSE.
1. The moon of the Earth does not belong to the solar system. ________
2. The centre of the Milky Way galaxy orbits around the solar system. ________
3. It was gravity that pulled everything together in the solar system. ________
4. Earth and other planets in the solar system were formed by the largest clump. ________
5. Extrasolar planets are hard to be found because they are not as bright as the stars they
orbit. ________
