The picture on your right is an artist's impression of our Solar System.
Pluto is located on the ring furthest from the sun. It is no longer classed as a planet. See if you can find out why. There are eight planets in our Solar System. Each planet orbits the sun on an unseen ring, or orbit. Can you name the planet closest to the sun? Which planet is farthest away? Which is the largest planet? The smallest? I wonder which is the hottest planet. How can you tell? What else can you see that you could investigate? |
