The document provides information about the planets and moons in our solar system. It lists and describes the nine major planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. Each planet is briefly characterized, such as Mercury being the smallest planet and closest to the Sun, Earth being the only known planet capable of sustaining life, and Jupiter being the largest planet composed primarily of gas. The document aims to teach learners about the key components of our solar system.

3. PLANETS
A planet is a large,
round heavenly body that
orbits a star and shines
with light reflected from
the star. We know of nine
planets that orbit the sun
in our solar system.

SATURN
URANUS
NEPTUNE

5. MERCURYMERCURY
The smallest planet in the solar
system, after Pluto, and the one
nearest to the sun. Its orbit about the
sun takes 88 days to complete, at a
mean distance of almost 36,000,000
miles..

6. VENUS
Venus is the sixth largest
planet in the solar system and
the second in distance from
the sun. Venus is the brightest
planet in the solar system and
the one that comes closest to
the earth.

7. EARTH
Earth is the largest and densest of the four
inner planets, the only one known to have
current geological activity, like earthquakes
and volcanoes. It is the only planet known to
have life. Its liquid hydrosphere (oceans and
seas) is unique among the terrestrial planets.

8. MARS
Mars is smaller than both
Earth and Venus.
Mars is named after the
Greek God of War. It is
sometimes also called the
red planet, because most of
its surface is covered in
reddish rocks, dust and soil.

9. What is this planet called?

10. Jupiter

11. Jupiter
Jupiter is the biggest planet in
the solar system. It is 2.5 times
the mass of all the other planets of
the solar system put together! It is
a gas giant, rather than a
terrestrial planet, and is made
largely of hydrogen and helium.

12. SATURNS
Saturn is distinguished by
its extensive ring system,
but otherwise has several
similarities to Jupiter. They
are both gas giants.

13. SATURN

14. URANUS
one of the larger planets in the solar system and the seventh in
distance from the sun.
Uranus is the lightest of the outer planets, a type of gas giant that
some scientists call an ice giant. As you can imagine from this
nickname its atmosphere is very cold - the coldest in the solar
system.
.

15. NEPTUNE
Neptune is the outermost planet of the solar system. It
is slightly smaller than Uranus.
Neptune has a mark on it that looks very similar to
Jupiter's great spot. Just like Jupiter, this is caused by
violent storms.

16. PLUTO
Is Pluto a planet? Yes,
Pluto is a planet. The body
that decides the classification
of objects in the solar system,
the International Astronomical
Union (IAU), has no plans to
change Pluto's status as a
planet and has decided
against assigning it a minor
planet number.
