Explanation
A planet is a large round object that moves around a star in space. Planets do not have their own light, but they shine because they reflect light from a star, like the sun. Earth is a planet where humans, animals, and plants live. Other planets may be hot, cold, or made of gas. Planets are part of a larger system called a solar system.
