There are NINE planets in the solar system. This is the order they appear from the sun: Mercury , venus , Earth , Mars , Jupiter , Saturn , Uranus , Neptune , Pluto. An easy way to remember the order in an interesting way is to make up a little sentence using the first letter of each planet , here is an example: My Very Educated Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas.-Try making up some on your own , it could be fun!

Ever since the beginning of time people have been curious about the other far off planets in the solar system. Something that we have thought of is that, there is DEFINATELY life on earth because humans and animals live on earth , So could there be life on OTHER planets? Some scientists believe there could be. At the same time-other scientists say it could never be possible! it sure does look possible to people who have seen or at least said they saw: U.F.O's (Unidentified Flying Objects). But how could we be sure when nobody has actually seen an extra terrestrial(alien). So I guess it looks like the answer to the question is: Nobody knows for sure if there is or isn't life out there!

Jupiter is an orangish-reddish planet, it has a dark red spot on it. this spot is known as: jupiter's great red spot. This "Great Red Spot" is a huge hurricane - 10 times as big as any hurricane on earth!!!!! Uranus is a light blue planet and scientists believe that it has rings forming , and someday it will have rings as big as the planet Saturn...... Scientists believe that the way saturn got its rings was from a huge asteroid collision, and the rings are made from bits and pieces of asteroids floating around the planet , the collision happened thousands of years ago.......
