The Solar System is the collection of nine planets that orbit our Sun. Apart from planets it also contains moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. The first thing to notice is that the solar system is mostly empty space. The planets are very small compared to the space between them.  The nine planets are:

1.      Mercury: This is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. It was sometimes given separate names for its apparitions as a morning star and as an evening star. Temperature variations on Mercury are the most extreme in the solar system ranging from 90 K to 700 K. Mercury is the second densest major body in the solar system, after Earth. Mercury has no known satellites. Mercury is often visible with binoculars or even the unaided eye, but it is always very near the Sun and difficult to see in the twilight sky.

2.      Venus: Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet. It is the brightest object in the sky except for the Sun and the Moon. Venus has many similarities with earth. Venus is only slightly smaller than Earth (95% of Earth's diameter, 80% of Earth's mass). Both have few craters indicating relatively young surfaces. Their densities and chemical compositions are similar. Venus has no satellites, and thereby hangs a tale. Venus is usually visible with the unaided eye. Sometimes (inaccurately) referred to as the "morning star" or the "evening star", it is by far the brightest "star" in the sky.

Today everyone loves pizza with lots of cheese and different toppings. It's so yummy! But have you ever thought about the origin of Pizza and how it became so famous. Let's discover some of the interesting facts and history about pizza.

Origin of Pizza: Pizza was originally founded by the early Greeks who first baked large, round and flat breads. Eventually the idea of flat bread became famous in Italy where, in the 18th century, the flat breads called Pizzas were sold on the streets and in the markets. At that time Pizza had no toppings and it was enjoyed naturally.

Introduction of toppings: In about 1889, Queen Margherita, accompanied by her husband, Umberto I, took an inspection tour of her Italian Kingdom. During her travels The Queen tasted and loved the bread and would eat it every time she was out amongst the people. Summoning Chef Rafaelle Esposito from his pizzeria to the royal palace, the queen ordered him to bake a selection of pizzas for her pleasure. To honor the queen who was so beloved by her subjects, Rafaelle decided to make a very special pizza just for her. He baked a Pizza topped with tomatoes, Mozarella Cheese, and fresh Basil (to represent the colors of the Italian flag: Red, white, and green).

Easter is the sacred celebration of Christ's resurrection from the dead. Easter recalls the resurrection of Jesus Christ and is a joyous festival that coincides with the arrival of the spring season. The date of Easter varies from March 22 to April 25. Protestants and Roman Catholics observe Easter on the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon, the full moon following the vernal equinox. The English name "Easter" according to the Venerable Bede, comes from the Anglo-Saxon "Eostre", the goddess of fertility and birth. Easter abounds with symbolism. The rabbit, bunny, lamb, cross, lighted candles, eggs and chicks, are all seen as having importance in the celebration of Easter.

Importance of "The Great Fifty Days": The Great Fifty Days begins with Easter Sunday and concludes on the Day of Pentecost. (The word Pentecost actually comes from the Greek word for fifty.) During these fifty days several customs are often observed that assist in highlighting the festivity of the season.

• The paschal candle is moved from its normal place near the baptismal font to a prominent place near the altar. 
• The liturgical color of white is used during the entire fifty days-longer than at any other time of the church year. 
• The "Alleluia," which is omitted during the penitential season of Lent, is restored to the liturgy as the premier expression of joy celebrating Jesus' resurrection. 

The seven weeks that span the time between Jesus' resurrection and the sending of the Spirit are sometimes even called a "week of weeks."
