### sense in the lessons

In science, the solar system is the Sun and everything that goes around it: eight planets, moons, asteroids and comets. Solar energy or solar power is energy from sunlight, collected by solar panels on roofs; it is renewable and clean. A solar eclipse happens when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun; never look straight at the Sun, even in an eclipse. Solar-powered calculators and garden lights work using light.
