who were fathered by Zeus.

The sun and moon as well used to be considered as planets seen with the naked eye‚ hence making

They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun. Scientists believe the solar system began about 5 billion years ago‚ perhaps when

there conclusions are challenged on a daily basis whenever new discoveries are made. A good example is the solar system. All along it was known that the solar system has nine planets. Nevertheless‚ in 2006 a research carried out by International Astronomical Union changed all this‚ when they excluded Pluto from the nine planets. The main reason being that there were new rules that defined what to be called a
