Direction: I will give you descriptions of each
planet. Study them and describe the characteristics
of the planet shown in the picture.

Neptune is the
farthest planet from
the Sun. It is a deep
blue planet with the
strongest winds in the
Solar System.

Uranus is a blue-
green planet that
spins on its side. It is
very cold and is
called an ice giant.

Mercury is the smallest

planet and the closest to
the Sun. It is a rocky
planet full of craters and
has very hot days and
very cold nights.
 Saturn is famous
for its beautiful
rings made of ice
and rock. It is also
a large gas giant
planet.

Mars is called the Red

Planet because of its
reddish soil. Scientists
study Mars because it
may have had water in
the past.

Earth is the only planet

known to have life. It
has water, air, land, and
a comfortable
temperature for living
things.

Venus is the hottest

planet in the Solar
System. It is
covered with thick
yellow clouds that
trap heat, making it
very hot.

Jupiter is the largest

planet. It is a gas
giant with colorful
clouds and a huge
storm called the
Great Red Spot.
