The Universe is an enormous, 13.8 billion year old, never ending world where we lie in a lonesome galaxy: the Milky Way. Deep in this galaxy is our Solar System; this system houses our planet of Earth. Earth is far from alone in our Solar System with the Moon revolving around us as well as Earth itself revolving around the Sun. In total, there are seven other planets with Pluto being a dwarf planet.
