Meet the different planets and learn a little bit about them!

Meeting the Planets

Stars pattern

What's up? The names Venus. A lot of people say me and Earth are like twins, just because we are almost the same size and have the same land structure with mountains and stuff... I don't see it. For one, I'm the hottest planet in the solar system, and one day on me is way longer than on Earth, 243 Earth days to be exact. Take that! Anyways, you're pretty cool, see ya later!

Huh? Who's there?! Oh, hi. I'm Mars. My friends call me the Red Planet, because of all the iron on the ground that makes the dirt and rocks look red. Oh you just met Earth? Well I'm just as good as Earth, I've got seasons and everything! Ugh, never mind. Nice to meet you, and hey, you can call me red planet if you want...

Hey hey hey! I'm Earth! You look familiar... Do you live on me? Nice to finally meet you face to face! I'm sure you already know, almost 8 billion people live on me, it gets hard to keep track of everyone. A little bit about me... I am the only planet with liquid water! In fact, that water makes up most of my surface! Anyways, I gotta go, but I'll see you later! Peace out!

Hello, I'm the Sun! I am technically not a planet, but I am the center of the solar system. I'm made completely out of gas and can get as hot as 27 million degrees Fahrenheit. Because of that, humans will never be able to visit me... but that's okay! I have the other planets, stars, and moons to keep me company! Nice to meet you! Tell Mercury I said hi!

Greetings. My name is Neptune. To what do I owe this pleasure? Ah, you have met Uranus? Yes we are a bit similar, we both look blue because of the Methane. I am the furthest planet from the Sun, so the two of us don't talk very much. Humans call me an "ice giant." It is very dark, cold, and windy on me. I hope that will not be a problem. It was a pleasure to meet you. Do come again. Good day.

Hey, my name is Mercury! I am the smallest planet in the solar system, but I am also the fastest! No planet is faster than me! I'm the closest to the Sun, we are like best friends! I hope you and I can be best friends too! Bye!

I hope you had fun meeting all the planets! They asked me to tell you to make sure you visit again sometime soon! If you're ever back here in space, come and find me! I can introduce you to the moon and some of my star friends! Bye!

Hi-ya! Yup, I'm Jupiter. No, I don't have a solid surface, but I am the largest planet in the solar system. Yeah, I'm pretty buff if I do say so myself. You see that red spot? That's my big storm, been going on for hundreds of years. Humans call it the Great Red Spot. Pretty cool right? Anyways, I'm gonna bounce, it was super cool to meet you little dude. See ya!

AAAAHHH! Oh! H- Hello! I- I didn't think you'd actually come to see me, I got scared. My names Uranus. Sometimes people think that I'm weird because unlike the other planets that rotate East to West, I like to rotate on my side... You think it's cool? Really? Thanks! Methane in my atmosphere is the reason I look so blue, but now I don't feel blue anymore. Thanks for coming to see me! You've made my year!

Howdy! My names Saturn! I'm the second largest planet, right after Jupiter. I am also made of gas and don't have a solid surface like Jupiter too. Oh, you like my rings? Thanks! I've got 7 of them, they're made out of ice and rock. Well, I'll let you go meet the last two planets. So long!

Hello! I am a star! I am just one of billions and billions of others in space. My friends told me that you guys haven't met the planets yet! They are awesome! Let me introduce you!
