DisclosureGroup is a view that's used to show or hide content based on the state of disclosure control. It takes two parameters: a label to identify its content and a binding that controls whether the content is visible or hidden. Let's take a closer look at how it works by creating an app that shows and hides content in a disclosure group.

1. Below the ContentView struct, add a state property called showplanets:

struct ContentView: View {
  @State private var showplanets = true
  // the rest of the content here
}

1. In the ContentView struct, replace the content of the body variable with a VStack and a DisclosureGroup view that contains two Text views with planet names...
