and very hot. The
atmosphere
completely hides the
surface and traps the
heat.

4. Earth

the sun.

moons.

6. Jupiter
 The Great Red Spot,
a huge storm of
swirling gas that has
lasted for hundreds of
years.
 Jupiter does not have
a solid surface. The
planet is a ball of
liquid surrounded by
gas.

7. Saturn
 Saturn is the second largest planet and the sixth
from the sun.

water. If you could fit Saturn in a lake, it would
float!

8. Uranus
 Uranus is the third
largest planet and the
seventh from the sun.
 Uranus is one of the
giant gas planets.
 Uranus is blue-green
because of the
methane in its

largest planet and the
eight from the sun.
 Because of the orbits,
from 1979 to 1999,
Neptune was the
