It’s so interesting to talk about space. And everyone dreams to go to space, meet alien friends and fly around the planet in cool spaceships. I think it’s so exciting to travel all the planets! And do you know that our planet Earth went round the Sun. Nicolaus Copernicus was the first person who said it. Earth is the third planet in order from the Sun. And Mercury is the nearest planet to the Sun. It is 58 million km from the Sun. It’s the smallest and very hot planet. It orbits the sun very fast. Venus is the second nearest planet from the sun. It is 108 million km from the sun. Its yellow, cloudy and super hot. People call it the “ Evening Star”. Mars is the fourth planet in order from the sun. We called it the Red Planet and it’s 228 million km from the sun. A day in Mars is 24 hours and 39 minutes long, a bit longer than a day on Earth. Mars has got 4 seasons like Earth, but they are different and the largest mountain in the solar system is on Mars. And it hasn’t got any oceans or green land.
Jupiter is the largest of all planets and the brightest planet. It’s the fifth planet and it has got over 63 moons. Saturn is the second largest of all the planets. It’s the sixth planet from the sun and it is known for many bright rings that go around it. Saturn is a giant gas planet. Uranus is also a cold gas planet and it’s far away in the distance. Neptune is very similar to Uranus in size. It’s the eighth planet in order from the sun. It was named for the Roman God of the Sea. Pluto is the ninth planet and the smallest planet. It’s only 5.9 km from the sun and it’s so hard to look and to find this planet without telescope. We call it “ Drawt Planet.
