Scientists believe out solar system was formed from these materials.

Space dust and gas

This is a dwarf planet in our solar system that was downgraded from planet to dwarf planet in 2006

Pluto

Energy from the core moves through this zone and surrounds the core.

Radiation Zone

200

This is early light that was created by the big bang theory

Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation

Our sun is described as this type of star.

Medium-sized Star

200

The sun is primarily made of these 2 elements

Hydrogen and Helium

200

There are this many known dwarf planets in our solar system

Hot plasma passes through this zone. It surrounds the radiation zone.

Convection Zone

300

This is a range of electromagnetic Frequencies of visible light

Light Spectrum

300

This is the smallest planet in our solar system

Mercury

This is how the composition of the inner planets is different from the outer planets

Inner planet are made from heavy elements, outer planets are made of lighter elements

Dwarf planets must clear debris from this to be considered a full fledged planet

Clear debris from their orbit

400

This is the second outer layer of the sun. It absorbs energy that passes through and converts it to red light.
