The Space always charms people from ancient times to nowadays.
From ancient times people looked up to the sky and had lots of questions about the Space. The ancient people didn't know that our Earth was a planet and it turned around the Sun. They thought the Sun turned around Earth. Also they believed that Earth was situated on three huge elephants which were situated on a huge tortoise.
And now people often look up at the sky and ask different questions like these:
how many stars are there in the Space?
which planet is the hottest one?
which planet is the coldest one?
which planet is the smallest one?
which planet is the biggest one?
Our Solar System consists of a huge hot star the Sun and nine planets with their moons:
Mercury
Venus
Earth
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
Uranus
Neptune
Plutohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sD1-rS_TM2ohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=libKVRa01L8
The planet nearest to the sun is Mercury. It's the fastest planet. It goes around the sun very quickly. But it is not the hottest planet.
Venus is the hottest planet and it is the second nearest one to the sun.
The third planet is Earth. It's the most beautiful planet in the solar system.
The next planet is Mars. It's smaller than Earth. The first four planets are made of rock.
Next to Mars is the biggest planet, Jupiter. It's made of gas, not rock. Jupiter hasn't got one moon like Earth, it's got sixteen large moons and many small ones!
Saturn has got lots of moons, too! It's the sixth furthest planet from the sun and there are many colourful rings round it. They're rings of ice!
Next is Uranus. It's four times bigger than Earth.
Then comes Neptune. It's blue and beautiful. There are often storms on Neptune.
The last planet, the furthest from the sun, is Pluto. Pluto is the smallest planet. It's smaller than our moon and it's the coldest planet too. Some people think Pluto is not a planet because it's very small.
The Moon is not a planet. It goes aroud our planet Earth. It's made of rock. There are seas on the moon but there isn't any water in the seas. There isn't any weather on the Moon. It isn't windy there and it never snows or rains. The Moon is smaller than Earth. Sometimes it looks big, sometimes it looks small. When it's big and round, it's called a full moon. When it's very small, it's called a new moon. The first men on the Moon were Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin. They landed on the Moon on July 20th 1969 and they walked around for two hours.
