Planets in the Solar System

I’m the planet that everyone calls “Red,”

But really my soil is rust-coloured instead.

Look up and you may spot me in the sky,

I’m the orange-coloured dot, way up high.

• Mercury

• Earth

• Mars

• Jupiter

With over 63 moons, you might say I have a lot.

Look with a telescope to see my big, red spot.

The spot is a wind storm, swirling around.

High in the night sky is where I can be found.

• Mars

• Jupiter

• Neptune

• Saturn

Unless you have a telescope to help you see.

I was once called a planet, but not anymore.

Now I’m just a “Dwarf Planet,” but too important to ignore

• Venus

• Pluto

• Neptune

Look very close to the Sun and you’ll spot,

A tiny, cratered planet that’s very hot.

• Saturn
