The splendid solar system

Our solar system is so wonderful,so magnificent
It has created an impression on me,rather a dent
Our galaxy is called the Milky way
It's shape is spiral,it's colour is grey
The big bang was how the universe was formed
Not a faint sound came,though you might think it was like the world bombed
Let's start of with the blazing hot sun
Getting even a thousand kilometres close to it wouldn't be fun
The sun is a glowing ball of gases and the biggest star
Plans for getting near it in the future are very far
Ask Icarus,the Greek god who went close to the sun and ended up dying
I wouldn't trade his wax wings,not even trying
Th 450 c Mercury is named after the Roman god of speed
An year only takes 88 days,from what I read
Venus has more volcanoes than any other planet
Reaching there and getting boiled wouldn't be great
Our home,Earth is where we can only survive
The only place with water and probably the best place to swim and dive
Mars,called the Red planet because of it's iron
With a gigantic volcano,Mount Olympus and a place where there can be an alien
Jupiter,the largest planet with 63 moons
Has a storm bigger than Earth,raging for 350 years an enough to leave the Earth in ruins 
Saturn is beautiful because of it's rings
Looks like a huge planet floating with wings
Uranus's color is a pale blue
Discovered in the 1800s,which compared to the other planets is new
Neptune,a freezing planet,from the sun it's very far
While blistering winds roar at 3000 kilometres per hour
The asteroid belt is between Mars and Jupiter
Looks like a doughnut made of litter
Constellations are patterns of stars that can be easily remembered
Constellations are usually animals,people,objects or a bird
Comets are made of rock,ice and dust and are small in size
Meteors are like asteroids and have showers,so they are easily recognised
I hope a new planet can be discovered in some time
But for now,this is the end of my rhyme
