A lot would depend on the age of the kid.
There are a few facts that should not be missed. Sun (most massive body in the neighborhood and contains something on the order of 99.8% of the total known mass of the solar system) is a star, and is a fusion machine where gravity and fusion are in an equilibrium. It's a big ball of plasma. Planets from closest to farthest are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto was "demoted" to "dwarf planet" recently. Possibly (probably) because another small dwarf planet was discovered outside Pluto's orbit (which slips inside the orbit of Neptune for a bit on each lap Pluto makes around the sun. The closer the planet is to the sun, the higher its speed of rotation about the sun. Farther away means a slower orbit of the sun. Solar system has been around for billions of years.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are "gas giants" and have small solid cores. The asteroid belt lies between Mars and Jupiter. There are comets on long elliptical orbits from "far out" to close in. Sometimes big space rocks hit the planets or their moons.
It would be a good idea to say a little something about each planet and what it is like as regards mass, surface features, atmosphere, satellites and such.
