The earth is not the only body that travels around the sun. With it are eight other planets(行星), fellow members of the sun's family.

　　Two of them are nearer while the other six are farther from the sun than the earth is. The farther they are, the longer trips they make around the sun. People noticed long ago that these made travelling bodies move around in the sky in definite(一定的) paths.

　　We know that every little bit of matter in the universe pulls upon every other bit of matter. There exists(存在) a pull between the earth and the moon, which keeps the moon travelling in its orbit(轨道) around our planet, the earth. The gravity(重力) holds you to its surface, and pulls back to it the ball which you throw into the air. Of course the ball also pulls on the larger earth, but the earth is so much larger that the pull is not noticed.

　　Now remember that large bodies exert (施加) a greater pull on any body than smaller ones which contain(含有) less material (原料，材料). But each object in the universe, no matter how small, pulls on all other objects to some degree(某种程度).
