On a starry night, you glance up to the sky and all you see are little shining specks. Well, really there are tons of things and amazing wonders up there. One of those astonishing concepts are the planets of our solar system, each and every one of those are special in their own way.
The age of planets
All of the planets are about the same age which is 4.6 billion years old. This information was indeed discovered by scientists. But how exactly do scientists get this extraordinary information? The wanted answer is that they study meteorites and other objects that successfully made their way past the Earth's atmosphere to the surface of our planet.
Asteroid belt
Asteroids are just clumps of a combination that contains clumps of gas, dust, and tiny bits of ice. A cool fact about asteroids is that, long ago in 1801, while making a star map, Italian astrnomer Giuseppe Piazzi discovered the first and largest asteroid who's name is Ceres. Also astrnomers indicate that the asteroid belt was created 4.6 billions of years ago.
These 2 sections separated by the asteroid belt, the rocky planets and the gas giants are made of different kinds of materials, which you can possibly tell by the names of the 2 categories. When the planets were forming those small particles gathered up and made the huge planets of our solar system. Also like the rocky planets, the gas giants have a rocky surface deep inside there outer layout.
