remove the Y and + IES in the third person

My name is___________ .I am the second planet from the Sun. I am the hottest planet, with temperatures as high

brightest object in the sky after the Sun and the Moon,”
I am _______. I think you know me pretty well. I am the third planet from the Sun. You are sitting on me right now!
You surely know that I have one moon. Lots of amazing plants, animals, and wonderful children live on me, and
hopefully take care of me! Have a nice day!”

special because Earth people always wonder if there is life on ________. Hey children, do you want to know
whether or not there is life on ________? Lean forward, and I’ll tell you. Closer. Closer. Nope, I am just kidding. I
want to keep it a mystery, so you will keep visiting me with your rovers and I can get to know you better!”
I’m __________, my orbit is the fifth from the Sun, and I am super special. I am the largest planet. I also have the
most moons—more than 60! In fact, one of my moons is larger than Mercury and Pluto, no offense. A lot of Earth
people think that only the planet Saturn has rings, but I have rings also— three of them. They are hard to see, but

Hi, _________ here. I am currently the ninth and last planet from the Sun, but as you heard I am a small planet.

Times newspaper thought I should be named Minerva. An 11-year-old girl thought I should be named Pluto. I am
glad the little girl won! Some Earth people think that I shouldn’t be called a planet, because my orbit is different
from all the other planets, and I am so small. They say I may be a member of a body of small objects on the outer
edges of our solar system.
Hi , I am __________, and I am the seventh planet from the Sun. My name is pronounced ‘YOUR a nus’ in case
