Did you know?
Matter is made up of atoms, which are the smallest building blocks found in nature and can be as small as one billionth of a meter. The atom is made up of three particles called protons, neutrons, and electrons. The protons and neutrons are in the nucleus of the atom while the electrons orbit around it like planets around the sun.
