3. 1 - Sun
The Sun or Sol, is the star at
the centre of our solar system
and is responsible for the
Earth’s climate and weather.
The Sun is an almost perfect
sphere with a difference of
just 10km in diameter
between the poles and the
equator.

5. 2 - Moon
Saturn is the sixth planet from
the Sun and the most distant
that can be seen with the
naked eye. It is best known for
its fabulous ring system that
was discovered in 1610 by the
astronomer Galileo Galilei

7. 3 - Earth
Earth is the third planet from
the Sun and is the largest of
the terrestrial planets.The Earth
is the only planet in our solar
system not to be named after a
Greek or Roman deity.The Earth
was formed approximately 4.54
billion years ago and is the only
known planet to support life.

9. 4 - Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from
the Sun. Named after the
Roman god of war, and often
described as the “Red Planet”

brightest object in the night sky
after the Moon. Named after the
Roman goddess of love and
beauty,Venus is the second
largest terrestrial planet and is
sometimes referred to as the
Earth’s sister planet due the their
similar size and mass.

13. 6- uranus
Uranus is the seventh planet from
the Sun. It’s not visible to the
naked eye, and became the first
planet discovered with the use of
a telescope. Uranus is tipped over
on its side with an axial tilt of 98
degrees. It is often described as
“rolling around the Sun on its
side.”

15. 7- Neptune
Neptune is the eighth planet
from the Sun and is the most
distant planet from the Sun.
This gas giant planet may have
formed much closer to the Sun
in early solar system history
before migrating to its present
position.

17. 8 - Pluto
Discovered in 1930, Pluto is the
second closest dwarf planet to
the Sun and was at one point
classified as the ninth planet. Pluto
is also the second most massive
dwarf planet with Eris being the
most massive.

19. 9- Jupiter
The planet Jupiter is the fifth
planet out from the Sun, and is
two and a half times more massive
than all the other planets in
the solar system combined. It is
made primarily of gases and is
therefore known as a “gas giant”.

the Sun and the most distant that
can be seen with the naked eye. It
is best known for its fabulous ring
system that was discovered in
1610 by the astronomer Galileo
Galilei.

23. 11- Mercury
Mercury is the closest planet to the
Sun and due to its proximity it is
not easily seen except during
twilight. For every two orbits of
the Sun, Mercury completes three
rotations about its axis and up
until 1965 it was thought that the
same side of Mercury constantly
faced the Sun.
