3. Ladies and gentlemen,
I am Lanvin Philippe Morco
and I am your host for today at
Chiang Kai Shek class of 7-F,
our guest today plays a very
vital part of our existence today
I am so pleased to be with you
today and to have the chance to
introduce our guest, Sun.
4. Finally, He / She is also just
a fascinating and we're all
in for a treat today.
Without further ado,
please join me in
welcoming Sun.
He / She is one of the main
sources of life. He / She has
been one of the main
proponents of the solar system
for several years, and it a true
stand out in this field. He / She
has a great understanding of the
program and a great
appreciation of what it takes to
truly make.
Besides that, He / She has been
with us since life started here on
earth.
5. Good morning Sun,
firstly I would like to
thank you for being
here giving me this
opportunity, to know
you better.
The privileged is mine, as will
be a good opportunity to
impart some of me to you.
As we all know your
also a star right?
Yes I am a very active star. No matter when or
where you look, there I am always doing
something interesting. One of my most
dramatic properties of my activity is the
existence of a solar cycle, which is best seen in
the pattern of sunspot.
Yes tell us more
about the sunspot.
When the Sun is viewed through a solar telescope
dark spots can be observed on the surface. These
spots appear dark to the eye because they are
cooler than the surrounding gas although they are
still quite hot! The photosphere has a temperature
of about 5500 degrees Celsius and a typical sunspot
has a temperature about 3900 degrees Celsius.
A sunspot's lifetime can be as short as an hour or
two or as long as several months. The number of
sunspots that can be seen on the surface of the Sun
increases and decreases in a regular pattern, known
as the solar cycle, with a maximum number of
sunspots occurring every 11 years. Fascinating! One of the most
obvious signs that you are not
just sitting there is the rotation.
Tell us more?
I do rotate on my axis about once every 26
days. Because I am made of gas the rotation
is quite different from that of, say, a basketball
spinning on your finger. Different parts of the
Sun rotate at different speeds with the fastest
rotation rate occurring at the Sun's equator.
The higher the latitude (north or south) the
slower rotation. The Sun's Polar Regions have
a rotation period greater than 30 days. This is
known as differential rotation and is similar to
the phenomenon which produces the distinct
bands on the planet Jupiter.
It has often been said that
the Sun is a fairly
mediocre star in a fairly
boring neighborhood of
the Galaxy.
This is true if you ignore the fact that I am the only
star we know of which supports life. However, it is
still illustrative to compare me with other stars in
order to understand how stars form, evolve and
eventually die. I am about half way through my
prime and will not change significantly as a star
for another 5 billion years.
Over the course of human
history the Sun has been
feared and worshipped.
Rightfully so. What our
ancestors knew on a
fundamental level was
that the Sun provides a
vital ingredient for most
of the life on Earth, how
can you react to that?
Well:
1. The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in the
solar system.
2. Over one million Earth’s could fit inside the Sun.
3. One day the Sun will consume the Earth.
4. The energy created by the Sun’s core is nuclear
fusion.
5. The Sun is almost a perfect sphere.
6. The Sun is travelling at 220 km per second.
7. The Sun will eventually be about the size of Earth.
8. It takes eight minutes for light reach Earth from the
Sun.
9. The Sun is halfway through its life.
10. The distance between Earth and Sun changes.
11. The Sun rotates in the opposite direction to Earth.
12. The Sun rotates more quickly at its equator.
13. The Sun has a powerful magnetic field.
14. Temperatures inside the Sun can reach 15 million
degrees Celsius.
15. The Sun generates solar winds.
16. The Sun is classified as a yellow dwarf star.
17. The Aurora Borealis and Aurora Australis are
caused by the interaction of solar winds with Earth’s
atmosphere.
We have such an interesting talk
today and we certainly learn a lot
from Sun, Thanks very much for
taking the time to talk with us
today. I really appreciate the
discussion; we hope someday we
can have the opportunity to guest
you again.

10. Venus Poem
Venus doesn't listen well,
Forgets what other planets
tell,
Counter-clockwise,
How we spin,
Said the others,
Jump right in!
But Venus stopped,
And spun clockwise,
The brightest object in night
skies,
The second planet from the
sun,
Spins the other way for fun…

Martians are coming,
Martians are here,
They're from the 4th planet,
Oh-my and oh-dear!
Their planet looks red,
From iron oxide,
What should we do?
Run, fight, or hide?
Their planet's named Mars,
Half of Earth’s size,
But those Martians look giant,
Have lasers for eyes!
Martians are here,
A fact we can’t hide,
They came in a spaceship,
A long, long, long ride!
But news is now out,
From Fiji to France,
Martians are friendly,
They came here to dance!

16. Jupiter Poem
Big bright bully,
Of the sky,
This planet is a real tough guy,
5th planet placed,
From the sun,
It's really huge,
The biggest one,
300 times,
The size of Earth
He likes to tease,
And use his girth!
All other planets,
Put together,
Not even half,
This planet's measure!
Twice as large,
As them combined,
He gives them trouble,
All the time,
"I’m so great!
Red spot’s so shiny!
63 moons!
You’re so tiny!"
Mercury looked,
And gave a laugh,
"At least I’m not,
Made of gas..."

I spin on my side!
That’s what I do,
My face is face down,
Whoop-a-dee-do!
I never stand straight,
That’s really no fun,
My number is 7,
Away from the sun…
My orbit's real slow,
I never shift gears,
Around the sun?
87 years!
If you were born here,
Truth must be told,
You'd be like way-less,
Than 1-whole-year old!
The most-coldest planet,
In the whole sky,
My name’s Uranus,
Just wanna' say hi...

I'm Neptune,
I'm last!
It’s not really fun,
Now I’m the farthest,

Pluto was last,
But she disappeared!
I don’t want to be last,
There used to be 9!
But now number 8,
Is 'end of the line,'
Last for dessert,
Last for my snack,
Last for my dinner,
Unless Pluto comes back!
I don’t want to be last
It’s never too fun,
My name is Neptune,
I’m 8th from the Sun...

24. Pluto Poem
Is Pluto a planet?
Apparently not!
NASA called it a planet,
But now it does not!
A planet one time,
The 9th from the sun,
But now it's demoted,
Its title undone,
Hard rock and cold ice,
Found deep in dark space,
With Eris and Ceres,
It shares a strange place,
It’s called a dwarf planet,
Orbits the skies,
But not a true planet,
Based on its size!

26. Ever since the discovery of Pluto in 1930, kids grew up learning about the nine planets of our
solar system. That all changed starting in the late 1990s, when astronomers began to argue
about whether Pluto was a planet. In a highly controversial decision, the International
Astronomical Union ultimately decided in 2006 to call Pluto a “dwarf planet,” reducing the list of
“real planets” in our solar system to eight. But many kids (and adults) cling to the notion of nine
planets.
Regardless of your view, here’s the order of the eight larger planets, starting nearest the sun and
working outward through the solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune
If you insist on including Pluto, then that ninth world would come after Neptune on the list;
Pluto is truly way out there, and on a wildly tilted, elliptical orbit (two of the several reasons it
got demoted). Interestingly, Pluto used to be the eighth planet, actually.

One day, the boy had an opportunity to have a conversation with the Sun.
Boy: Hello! May I know who you are?
Sun: I am a yellow dwarf star.
Boy: How old are you?
Sun: I am 4.5 billion years old already.
Boy: What are you made of?
Sun: I am made up of Hydrogen, Helium and 1% on other gases.
Boy: What happens when you reach 11 billion years old?
Sun: I will become a red giant star.
Boy: What happen next after you become a red giant star?
Sun: I might become a black hole.
Boy: How bright are you?
Sun: I bright up all the planets just don’t look at me because you might get blind.
Boy: What is your hottest layer?
Sun: My hottest layer is the core.
Boy: Where is the core located?
Sun: The core is located in the center of my body.
Boy: What will happen without the Sun?
Sun: Without me the world will be cold and dark, many people will die; all the plants
will die without me.
Boy: Thank you for your time to this interview.
Sun: You’re welcome!
Boy: I’ll ask you another question again next time.
Sun: OK, no problem.
And this is the very best day for the boy because he had a chance to interview the Sun.

The Sun And The Nine Planet
In a galaxy called Milky Way, There was a dwarf star called Su, and the nine
planets. The nine planets are called Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto.
Proxima Centauri visited Milky Way and went to see the Sun. The Sun said, Who
are you and why are you here?? Proxima Centauri said,I come here to conquer this galaxy.
The Sun said, I won’t allow you to conquer my precious galaxy… I want to challenge
you to a fight. Proxima Centauri said, Fine!! Winner will take the galaxy and the loser
dies. They went 3 Astronomical Unit(AU) away from Milky Way and fought
Finally, The sun won and evolved into a red giant star. Then Sirius came to
conquer Milky Way. The Sun was almost deafeted but luckily Pollux help the Sun.
Pollux killed Sirius and the Sun is alive. Pollux said, you have a great heart,you have a
spirit of a warrior, heart of a leader. The Sun said, Thanks…Your welcome to visit us any
time.

Waynes Wayner Santos
Once upon a time in a Milky Way galaxy there were 9 planets and 1Yellow Dwarf Star.
Of all the planets Jupiter is the largest. And the second largest planet is Saturn. And the
smallest planet is Pluto. Jupiter always bullies Pluto because Pluto is the smallest of all of
them. Jupiter also bullies the 4 more planets that are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
He doesn’t bully Uranus and Neptune because they are also big. One day Jupiter saw the
Yellow Dwarf Star that is bigger than all of them. Jupiter is afraid of him so he ran to
Saturn, Saturn is the second biggest planet . Then Jupiter tell Saturn about the Yellow
Dwarf star, But Saturn didn’t believe Jupiter so Saturn said to Jupiter to go their . And at
last Saturn believe that there are larger things than them. And the Yellow Dwarf Star
said to them to stop bullying the 5 planets that are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars,
especially Pluto. After that discussion the Yellow Dwarf Star go to the 7 planets to
introduce him And said to them that starting this day I will be the one to light up your
Solar System.
35. Earth’s: Do you ever feel lonely, sun?
Sun: No, I don't. I have other stars to accompany me. In
fact, I belong to a family of G2 stars. I just happen to be a
lot closer to your planet so I appear bigger and brighter.
Earth’s : Can you describe to me your structure?
Sun: I am completely made of gas and no solid can be
found within my surface. I am consists of the Core, the
Radiative zone and the Convective zone which keeps my
structure definite.
Earth’s : Before I say goodbye, I would like to thank you for
giving us warmth and light which keeps us alive. The light
from you that helps plants grow to give us fruits and
vegetables. The heat of the you can also be converted into
electricity called the solar energy.
Sun: My pleasure. It is my job to keep your planet
habitable to be able to sustain life.
37. In a village, there is a little girl named Annie.
Annie is a shy girl, she doesn't have much of a friend.
Her favorite thing to do is to look at the stars in the
sky at night.
One night, Annie was lying on the lawn as before.
Unconsciously she fell asleep.
She dreamed that she had come to a planet. "Why it
is so hot here?" She asked.
Suddenly there was a laugh "Little girl you are
really funny, I was closest to the sun planet, if you
stand on my planet, you do not feel hot, it's strange!”
38. "What?? You are the planet Mercury?"Annie asked
" Yeah, I am" Mercury answered.
"Oh my god, I just have something to ask you , you
said you are the planet Mercury so you can answer
my questions right?"Annie asked.
"Right , what question you want to asked me?"
Annie:"How close are you to the sun? “
Mercury:" I am the closest planet to the Sun with an
orbital period of 88 days. Because of my close
proximity to the sun, I can reach up to 800 degrees
Fahrenheit."
39. Annie:" What other characteristics do you
have? "
Mercury:" I have no moons, no rings, and a
very thin atmosphere."
Annie:"Now I believe you are the planet
Mercury, thank you for answering my
questions . If I asked my parents these
question they will not answered me."
41. Saturn spins faster than any other planet
except Jupiter, completing a rotation roughly
every 10-and-a-half hours.
This rapid spinning causes Saturn to bulge at its
equator and flatten at its poles — the planet is
8,000 miles (13,000 kilometers) wider at its
equator than between the poles.
Saturn's most recent curiosity may be the
giant hexagon circling its north pole, with each of
its sides nearly 7,500 miles (12,500 km) across —
big enough to fit nearly four Earths inside.
Thermal images show it reaches some 60 miles
(100 km) down into the planet's atmosphere. It
remains uncertain what causes it.
43. Pluto are considered a dwarf planet. Because
of that many plant laughing at Pluto. But Pluto are
doesn't care what the other planets say.
Someday Sun asked Pluto:"Pluto, why you are
not care what about other planets said? Why don't
you get angry when you're a dwarf planet? "
Pluto said with a smile:"They say the truth, I
can't refute. I am a dwarf planet because there
many objects with similar size and mass to me
jostling around in my orbit. I am proud of that."
Sun give Pluto's answer to other planets,
when the other planet hear the answer of Pluto,
they feel very embarrassed. They find Pluto for an
apology.
The whole solar system has become peaceful.
45. Uranus, the first planet discovered i
n modern times, was discovered by Willia
m Herschel while systematically searching
the sky with his telescope on March 13, 17
81.
It had actually been seen many tim
es before but ignored as simply another st
ar (the earliest recorded sighting was in 16
90 when John Flamsteed cataloged it as 34
Tauri). Herschel named it "the Georgium S
idus" (the Georgian Planet) in honor of his
patron, the infamous (to Americans) King
George III of England; others called it "Hers
chel".
47. The Earth is crying. But nobody ignores her.
God could not bear to see the earth has been
crying, he asked the reason why the earth crying.
Earth said:"I gave human place to live and I gave
them natural resources, but they do not know how to
cherish me. They cut off my hair , my luxuriant hair
becomes sparse, They soiled my clothes , they always
throw garbage into the water, They pollute the air harm
my face became dirty again, I think I'm becoming more
and more ugly than before."
48. After listening God feel very angry. He put all of
humanity caught up, let them see the Earth now.
When people see the earth now, they were
shocked and embarrassed. They cried to the earth
for an apology. Looking at the crying human, Earth
is also very sad. Listen to human apology, Earth
decides to forgive mankind.
Since then, man has begun to be kind to the
earth, and no more pollution to the environment nor
cutting down trees.
Slowly, the earth restored to her natural beauty.
50. The planet Venus, named for the roman goddess of
love, is often referred to as Earth's Twin or Earth's
Sister. But, Venus does not bare much of a visual
resemblance to Earth, so why is it called Earth's sister?
From a strictly physical perspective Venus is roughly
the same size, density and composition as our planet.
It orbits at a similar distance from our Sun, and at its
creation would have appeared nearly
indistinguishable from Earth.
52. The solar system is the home of the planets.
The solar system is the home of the planets, so he is
the boss in the family.
The other planets are not convinced that. They all want
to be boss.
Because every planet wanted to be the boss, so the
solar system is noisy and protest all day.
Two planet during the argument, accidentally put the
solar system out of a big hole. God was very angry when he
heard this. He told all of the planets in the solar system if
who could fix the big hole, then who would be the boss of
the solar system.
53. Except Jupiter, the other planets are eager to
think about it, but they can't make up for it. Jupiter
stood out as if there were no one at all. He said he
thought of a way but not sure that could make up for
the big hole, he would like to try.
After his unremitting efforts and persistence,
finally, the big hole of the solar system to repair good.
After this event, all planets Jupiter is the default, no
one wanted to rush to do the boss.
55. Neptune is similar in composition to Uranus, and bot
h have compositions that differ from those of the larger g
as giants, Jupiter and Saturn. Neptune's atmosphere, like
Jupiter's and Saturn's, is composed primarily of hydrogen
and helium, along with traces of hydrocarbons and possi
bly nitrogen; it contains a higher proportion of "ices" suc
h as water, ammonia, and methane. Scientists sometimes
categorise Uranus and Neptune as "ice giants" to empha
sise this distinction.The interior of Neptune, like that of U
ranus, is primarily composed of ices and rock.Traces of m
ethane in the outermost regions in part account for the p
lanet's blue appearance.
57. "For humans ,except Earth, Mars is the second of them
can live on the planet." Mars smiled when you heard this.
"Stupid human ah, he is not much worse than the
earth, but his environment is too bad day and night
temperature difference."Mars think.
He began to think that if human moved to his planet,
what will happened:"Humans in general only in the interior
of the indoor life, if you want to go out, you want to wear a
class of space suits. Maybe they think that the harsh
environment on Mars can be changed by planting crops.
Very few of the twenty degrees of oxygen during the day,
How do humans live? There will certainly be a lot of people
died on my planet, who told them not to cherish the earth
it is to give them the punishment."
59. MERCURY
THE CLOSEST PLANET TO THE SUN, MERCURY IS ONLY A BIT
LARGER THAN EARTH'S MOON. ITS DAY SIDE IS SCORCHED BY
THE SUN AND CAN REACH 840 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT (450
CELSIUS), BUT ON THE NIGHT SIDE, TEMPERATURES DROP TO
HUNDREDS OF DEGREES BELOW FREEZING. MERCURY HAS
VIRTUALLY NO ATMOSPHERE TO ABSORB METEOR IMPACTS,
SO ITS SURFACE IS POCKMARKED WITH CRATERS, JUST LIKE
THE MOON. OVER ITS FOUR-YEAR MISSION, NASA'S
MESSENGER SPACECRAFT HAS REVEALED VIEWS OF THE
PLANET THAT HAVE CHALLENGED ASTRONOMERS'
EXPECTATIONS.
DISCOVERY: KNOWN TO THE ANCIENTS AND VISIBLE TO THE
NAKED EYE
NAMED FOR: MESSENGER OF THE ROMAN GODS
DIAMETER: 3,031 MILES (4,878 KM)
ORBIT: 88 EARTH DAYS
DAY: 58.6 EARTH DAYS
60. VENUS
THE SECOND PLANET FROM THE SUN, VENUS IS TERRIBLY HOT, EVEN
HOTTER THAN MERCURY. THE ATMOSPHERE IS TOXIC. THE PRESSURE
AT THE SURFACE WOULD CRUSH AND KILL YOU. SCIENTISTS DESCRIBE
VENUS’ SITUATION AS A RUNAWAY GREENHOUSE EFFECT. ITS SIZE AND
STRUCTURE ARE SIMILAR TO EARTH, VENUS' THICK, TOXIC
ATMOSPHERE TRAPS HEAT IN A RUNAWAY "GREENHOUSE EFFECT."
ODDLY, VENUS SPINS SLOWLY IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF MOST
PLANETS.
THE GREEKS BELIEVED VENUS WAS TWO DIFFERENT OBJECTS — ONE
IN THE MORNING SKY AND ANOTHER IN THE EVENING. BECAUSE IT IS
OFTEN BRIGHTER THAN ANY OTHER OBJECT IN THE SKY — EXCEPT
FOR THE SUN AND MOON — VENUS HAS GENERATED MANY UFO
REPORTS.
DISCOVERY: KNOWN TO THE ANCIENTS AND VISIBLE TO THE NAKED

61. EARTH
THE THIRD PLANET FROM THE SUN, EARTH IS A
WATERWORLD, WITH TWO-THIRDS OF THE PLANET
COVERED BY OCEAN. IT’S THE ONLY WORLD KNOWN TO
HARBOR LIFE. EARTH’S ATMOSPHERE IS RICH IN LIFE-
SUSTAINING NITROGEN AND OXYGEN. EARTH'S SURFACE
ROTATES ABOUT ITS AXIS AT 1,532 FEET PER SECOND (467
METERS PER SECOND) — SLIGHTLY MORE THAN 1,000 MPH
(1,600 KPH) — AT THE EQUATOR. THE PLANET ZIPS AROUND
THE SUN AT MORE THAN 18 MILES PER SECOND (29 KM PER
SECOND).
DIAMETER: 7,926 MILES (12,760 KM)
ORBIT: 365.24 DAYS
DAY: 23 HOURS, 56 MINUTES
62. MARS
THE FOURTH PLANET FROM THE SUN, IS A COLD, DUSTY PLACE. THE
DUST, AN IRON OXIDE, GIVES THE PLANET ITS REDDISH CAST. MARS
SHARES SIMILARITIES WITH EARTH: IT IS ROCKY, HAS MOUNTAINS AND
VALLEYS, AND STORM SYSTEMS RANGING FROM LOCALIZED
TORNADO-LIKE DUST DEVILS TO PLANET-ENGULFING DUST STORMS. IT
SNOWS ON MARS. AND MARS HARBORS WATER ICE. SCIENTISTS THINK
IT WAS ONCE WET AND WARM, THOUGH TODAY IT’S COLD AND DESERT-
LIKE.
MARS' ATMOSPHERE IS TOO THIN FOR LIQUID WATER TO EXIST ON THE
SURFACE FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME. SCIENTISTS THINK ANCIENT
MARS WOULD HAVE HAD THE CONDITIONS TO SUPPORT LIFE, AND
THERE IS HOPE THAT SIGNS OF PAST LIFE — POSSIBLY EVEN PRESENT
BIOLOGY — MAY EXIST ON THE RED PLANET.

63. JUPITER
THE FIFTH PLANET FROM THE SUN, JUPITER IS HUGE AND
IS THE MOST MASSIVE PLANET IN OUR SOLAR SYSTEM. IT’S
A MOSTLY GASEOUS WORLD, MOSTLY HYDROGEN AND
HELIUM. ITS SWIRLING CLOUDS ARE COLORFUL DUE TO
DIFFERENT TYPES OF TRACE GASES. A BIG FEATURE IS
THE GREAT RED SPOT, A GIANT STORM WHICH HAS RAGED
FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS. JUPITER HAS A STRONG
MAGNETIC FIELD, AND WITH DOZENS OF MOONS, IT LOOKS
A BIT LIKE A MINIATURE SOLAR SYSTEM.
DISCOVERY: KNOWN TO THE ANCIENTS AND VISIBLE TO
THE NAKED EYE
NAMED FOR: RULER OF THE ROMAN GODS
DIAMETER: 88,730 MILES (428,400 KM)
ORBIT: 11.9 EARTH YEARS
DAY: 9.8 EARTH HOURS
64. SATURN
THE SIXTH PLANET FROM THE SUN IS KNOWN MOST FOR ITS RINGS.
WHEN GALILEO GALILEI FIRST STUDIED SATURN IN THE EARLY 1600S,
HE THOUGHT IT WAS AN OBJECT WITH THREE PARTS. NOT KNOWING
HE WAS SEEING A PLANET WITH RINGS, THE STUMPED ASTRONOMER
ENTERED A SMALL DRAWING — A SYMBOL WITH ONE LARGE CIRCLE
AND TWO SMALLER ONES — IN HIS NOTEBOOK, AS A NOUN IN A
SENTENCE DESCRIBING HIS DISCOVERY. MORE THAN 40 YEARS LATER,
CHRISTIAAN HUYGENS PROPOSED THAT THEY WERE RINGS. THE
RINGS ARE MADE OF ICE AND ROCK. SCIENTISTS ARE NOT YET SURE
HOW THEY FORMED. THE GASEOUS PLANET IS MOSTLY HYDROGEN
AND HELIUM. IT HAS NUMEROUS MOONS.
DISCOVERY: KNOWN TO THE ANCIENTS AND VISIBLE TO THE NAKED
EYE
NAMED FOR: ROMAN GOD OF AGRICULTURE
DIAMETER: 74,900 MILES (120,500 KM)
ORBIT: 29.5 EARTH YEARS
DAY: ABOUT 10.5 EARTH HOURS
65. URANUS
THE SEVENTH PLANET FROM THE SUN, URANUS IS AN ODDBALL. IT’S
THE ONLY GIANT PLANET WHOSE EQUATOR IS NEARLY AT RIGHT
ANGLES TO ITS ORBIT — IT BASICALLY ORBITS ON ITS SIDE.
ASTRONOMERS THINK THE PLANET COLLIDED WITH SOME OTHER
PLANET-SIZE OBJECT LONG AGO, CAUSING THE TILT. THE TILT CAUSES
EXTREME SEASONS THAT LAST 20-PLUS YEARS, AND THE SUN BEATS
DOWN ON ONE POLE OR THE OTHER FOR 84 EARTH-YEARS. URANUS IS
ABOUT THE SAME SIZE AS NEPTUNE. METHANE IN THE ATMOSPHERE
GIVES URANUS ITS BLUE-GREEN TINT. IT HAS NUMEROUS MOONS AND
FAINT RINGS.
DISCOVERY: 1781 BY WILLIAM HERSCHEL (WAS THOUGHT PREVIOUSLY
TO BE A STAR)
NAMED FOR: PERSONIFICATION OF HEAVEN IN ANCIENT MYTH
DIAMETER: 31,763 MILES (51,120 KM)
ORBIT: 84 EARTH YEARS
DAY: 18 EARTH HOURS
RELATED:
66. NEPTUNE
THE EIGHTH PLANET FROM THE SUN, NEPTUNE IS KNOWN FOR
STRONG WINDS — SOMETIMES FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF SOUND.
NEPTUNE IS FAR OUT AND COLD. THE PLANET IS MORE THAN 30 TIMES
AS FAR FROM THE SUN AS EARTH. IT HAS A ROCKY CORE. NEPTUNE
WAS THE FIRST PLANET TO BE PREDICTED TO EXIST BY USING MATH,
BEFORE IT WAS DETECTED. IRREGULARITIES IN THE ORBIT OF
URANUS LED FRENCH ASTRONOMER ALEXIS BOUVARD TO SUGGEST
SOME OTHER MIGHT BE EXERTING A GRAVITATIONAL TUG. GERMAN
ASTRONOMER JOHANN GALLE USED CALCULATIONS TO HELP FIND
NEPTUNE IN A TELESCOPE. NEPTUNE IS ABOUT 17 TIMES AS MASSIVE
AS EARTH.
DISCOVERY: 1846
NAMED FOR: ROMAN GOD OF WATER
DIAMETER: 30,775 MILES (49,530 KM)
ORBIT: 165 EARTH YEARS
DAY: 19 EARTH HOURS
67. PLUTO (DWARF PLANET)
ONCE THE NINTH PLANET FROM THE SUN, PLUTO IS UNLIKE OTHER PLANETS
IN MANY RESPECTS. IT IS SMALLER THAN EARTH'S MOON. ITS ORBIT CARRIES
IT INSIDE THE ORBIT OF NEPTUNE AND THEN WAY OUT BEYOND THAT ORBIT.
FROM 1979 UNTIL EARLY 1999, PLUTO HAD ACTUALLY BEEN THE EIGHTH
PLANET FROM THE SUN. THEN, ON FEB. 11, 1999, IT CROSSED NEPTUNE'S
PATH AND ONCE AGAIN BECAME THE SOLAR SYSTEM'S MOST DISTANT PLANET
— UNTIL IT WAS DEMOTED TO DWARF PLANET STATUS. PLUTO WILL STAY
BEYOND NEPTUNE FOR 228 YEARS. PLUTO’S ORBIT IS TILTED TO THE MAIN
PLANE OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM — WHERE THE OTHER PLANETS ORBIT — BY
17.1 DEGREES. IT’S A COLD, ROCKY WORLD WITH ONLY A VERY EPHEMERAL
ATMOSPHERE. NASA'S NEW HORIZONS MISSION PERFORMED HISTORY'S
FIRST FLYBY OF THE PLUTO SYSTEM ON JULY 14, 2015. [RELATED: NEW
HORIZONS' PLUTO FLYBY: LATEST NEWS, IMAGES AND VIDEO]

70. One day Venus was playing with sun with a
ball .When sun missed Venus said.
Venus: Ha! Ha! Ha! Even though you have a
crown , I still win.
Sun: Hmm! Don’t be so boastful , I will win
next round.
Later Venus tells jokes to slow sun down .
He said:
Venus: This is a ball of mucus.
71. Then sun said:
Sun: Eww!
Then sun doged the ball and Venus
laughed and said more jokes. After , Sun
laughed too hard that he pooped . Venus
said:
Venus: Ha! You pooped.
Sun: Argh!
Earth passed by and his holding some
72. Earth: sorry! I poured it!
Venus: ah its ok , its just a poop
The poop suddenly had eyes and looked
at the sun. the three are suprised and
Venus hid at Earth’s back. Sun named the
cute poop Merury , and Mercury said:
Mercury: Hi!
Then they became happy.
74. After Mercury was borned Earth baked a
pie. And Venus ? his playing a ball
Mercury was with Venus. Sun is watching
television . Earth said:
Earth: Pie is ready!
Venus: Yum!
Later Venus speeded towards Earth and
tripped , then his face hitted the pie . He
said
Venus: Hmm! Pie but I cant see!
75. After that he hitted the wall and
Mercury’s towel fell. Sun him shout
then saw what happened Sun cutted
the cloth so Venus can see , but the
pie is sticky so the cloth cant budge
He will stay ike this forever.
77. Before Venus got covered with cloth and pie
Earth is very near at the sun this faithful clay
Sun is reading a book . Earth on the other
hand was drawing Sun reading his book There
dirt and rust everywhere cuz Mars passed by
Sun: I’ll clean it!
Earth: ok!
Later sun sneazed blowing Earth away from
him
Earth: Whoa! Ahh!
79. Before Mercury exists, Mars was made up
of iron. When he walks past by Earth.
Earth complains:
Earth: You smell like metal and you are so
shiny.
After Earth said that they argued. Sun said.
Sun: No need to fight, its no ones fault.
Mars: She said it first that I’m stinky!
80. After that Mars keeps on taking many
baths, he gained many water and the iron
on him is starting to rust. Months later, he
become red. His iron completely turned to
rust. Earth said:
Earth: You’re putting rust everywhere.
Mars replied:
Mars: At least I’m not shiny anymore!
82. Before Mercury is there, Jupiter is as big
as Earth and Uranus. Until this day after
Earth and Mars argue with each other.
Jupiter is stressed from the two fighting in
front of him and said:
Jupiter: Hey ! Guys stop, its been 3 years
from now and you are still fighting! Stop it!
Mars: She started it!
Earth: No! He did!
83. Jupiter is so stressed that he ate a box
full of chewing gum, he forced it into his
mouth and his gonna make a giant bubble
to scare and stop the two from fighting.
But when Jupiter blew it, its too thick so he
tried even harder.
Instead of blowing the bubble, he blew
himself and became larger. Earth and
Mars now stopped fighting cause they got
85. After Jupiter became large or extra large,
Saturn joined the dance competition
along with the other like Uranus and
Neptune against many contestants or even
each other.
They all met at the dancing room where
their gonna practice. Later Uranus saw
Saturn smiling and asked:
Uranus: Why are you smiling?
Then Saturn said:
Saturn: I dance gracefully so I will win.
86. Later while their on a break, they coach said:
Coach: Alright, we’re changing in the ice
dancing room after break.
Then Saturn accidently spill water all over
her tutu and wore jacket so it wont freeze until
it dries.
Now in the ice dancing room, Saturn is next
to dance. She spins around too fast that her
jacket flew away from her then her tutu isn’t
dry yet so it freeze.
88. Uranus, before is a white planet until Earth
came by. It all started when Uranus is eating,
some of the food got to his white body or they
call it shirt. And said:
Uranus: Argh! What messy! I must clean it up!
When he put it in the washing machine, Earth
passed by and she put her blue clothes on
Uranus’. When they are cleaned Uranus saw
his cloth turned to pale blue. He shouted:
Uranus: Ah!
When he saw Earth’s clothes, he got mad.
90. Once before then, Uranus is still young, he
came back from buying things. He forgot to
close the door. After he played with his favorite
blue ball, he left the blue ball on the floor
nearby a gravity magnet, then the magnet
penetrated inside the ball in the middle.
Uranus forgot to close the door. The rain fell
very hard that the water got inside and the
magnet pulled the water on the ball making it
larger.
91. And eyes poped, the water guy wore
some of Uranus’ clothing. And became
his twin. After that, Sun named him
Neptune, God of the sea, for his blue
looks.
93. After all planets are there, the 9th planet or
Pluto came from a mysterious place. It all
started when the eight planets were playing.
They saw a mysterious little planet watching
them. They call the little planet but the little
planet wont come. Then they walked near but
Pluto walked further until he is not seen
anymore.
The next day, Pluto came too close that the
planets caught him saying that he is too small
for the team.
94. But Sun looks him differently. He said that
Pluto is a lucky planet. He ask him:
Sun: Where are you from?
The Pluto said:
Pluto: I don’t know. I am a planet that goes
anywhere, I don’t have a home.
Sun: Now you have a family, us!
Starting from now Pluto became part of
the family.
96. Hello! My name is Sun and I lived in Milky Way Galaxy Solar
System .If your asking my age I’m actually in the middle age .
I have a lot of sisters the moons , Our mom said we should be
responsible in budgeting our light. But my sisters can’t budget
light because they don’t have light and because they are also
satellites so that’s why give them some of my budgets as in
“I let them use my light” .That’s okay cause I got a lot of light
because I have a job , that job is keeping our Solar System
warm .I’ am also in love with “VEGA’ as in Vega Star because
she is one of the biggest and hottest star but her siblings
Sirius and Rigel don’t like me because they said I’ am to small
for their sister Vega .But up to now I’ am still pleasing them by
keeping our Solar System warm.

98. Hi ! Everyone I’ am Mercury and I’ am full of craters.
I’m actually the second smallest planet in the Solar
System next to Pluto .My best friend is Venus
because she is by my side all the time.Really literally
she’s by my side .Some times I’am hot sometimes
I’m cold that’s why I keep on listening on Spotify
Katy Perry’s song Hot and Cold cause I can really
relate to it .Yeah I won the title “fastest runner
around the Sun” in the Solar System , but I lose in
the game “Turn on your axis” , but anyway I wanna
forget that because it was a total downer .Yes I have
dated a lot of asteroids a.k.a. shooting stars , but
they ended up breaking me , that’s the reason why I
have a lot of craters in me .

100. Hi ! Everybody I’ am Venus also known as the Hottest
Planet in the Solar System .My Best Friend is
Mercury . She’s so cute cause she’s small .While she
is addicted to the song Hot and Cold , I’ am addicted
to the song Dessert because when it’s hot especially
in my place we eat desserts ! Cold desserts to be
exact .I have a collection of clouds but!! They aren’t
ordinary clouds ! they are made with “sulfuric acid”
that’s the the reason why my planet is yellowish .In

you people can live is Mars the planet next to me .I
have both part land and water .

104. Hello ! I’m Mars a.k.a. the “RED PLANET” . I won that
title in the Solar System Olympics .Actually before I
was gray or silver but I’m composed with iron and
water and what happened is that , the iron
absorbed the water and through time it became
rusted that’s why I’m red .Same as Mercury I have
dates Asteroids and Comet , and they also broke up
with me as in literally they broke me .

124. SUN GOD THOSE WHO WORSHIPED
THE SUN WE'RE RIGHT TO HONOR
MAJESTY AND POWER TO SEEK WHAT
TRULY GIVES US LIFE BUT THE
SORROW OF THEIR SONG WHAT THEY
DEEMED AS DIVINE WAS ONE SMALL
PART OF ONE FIERY WORD THAT BLEW
OUT FROM THE LIPS AND MIND OF
THE TRUE CONSUMING FIRE A
TRAGEDY STARTING AT THAT LITTLE
ORB DID BLIND THEM TO THE TRUTH
128. • Venus doesn't listen well Forgets what
other planets tell Counter clockwise
How we spin Said the other Jump
right in But Venus stopped And spun
clockwise The brightest object in night
skies The second planet from the sun
Spins the other way for fun
130. • Mother Earth The earth is a lovely gift
of God to us Save the earth before if
melts down because of the global
warming. Clean it help it, it is a
wonderful gift of God help it before it
melts it has life
132. • Mars I am the third planet Mars
wrathful raging through the stars I'm
full of hate and hot and dry with my
might I magnify all who please me and
I will glorify those who war and kill my
house the scorpion and the ran id
there is conflict there I am in the goat
I'm lifted high in the crab lose
strength and die the twelve signs I
travel through not in one year but in
two
134. • Jupiter Great Jupiter is now my name
the second planet strong in fame i am
moist and truly warm by nature I can
do no harm two signs I have their
houses mineacher and fishes which

your way when in the crx I'm lifted
high weaker in the goat I sigh my
passage round the twelve signs is in
the twelve long years accomplished
136. • Saturn is My name I'm first of planets
high above the earth I am by nature
dry and cold and may works are
manifold I in my houses firmly stand
the goat and the waterman i do much
damage by my might on sea and Land
by day and night my exaltations in the
scales but in the ram my power fails
its thirty years harsh and malign ere I
come again to the same sign
139. WE KNOW.
ROUND AND ROUND THE SUN
THEY GO.
MERCURY, VENUS, EARTH, AND
MARS,
THESE ARE THE PLANETS NEAR
OUR STAR.
JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS, TOO.
NEPTUNE, PLUTO, WE CAN'T SEE YO
THESE ARE THE NINE PLANETS THAT
KNOW.
140. MERCURY
"Pass the sun-block!
sun block
Can’t you see,
It’s really bright,"
Cried Mercury...
I’m so close,
To the sun,
sun
And that’s not always,
Too much fun...
141. VENUS
Venus doesn't listen well,
Forgets what other planets
tell,
Counter-clockwise,
How we spin,
Said the others,
Jump right in!
But Venus stopped,
And spun clockwise,
The brightest object in
night skies,
The second planet from
142. EARTH
It's the spinning,
Little rock,Flying through the
air,
Third planet from the big bright
sun,
A place we all do share!
babies
Only planet with known life,
From birds, to bears, and
bees...
birdpanda
So many types of living things,
From forests,
To blue seas...
143. MARS
Martians are coming,
Martians are here,
They're from the 4th planet,
Oh-my and oh-dear!
Their planet looks red,
From iron oxide,
What should we do?
Run, fight, or hide?
Their planet's named Mars,
Half of Earth’s size,
But those Martians look giant,
Have lasers for eyes!
144. JUPITER
Big bright bully,
Of the sky,
This planet is a real tough guy,
5th planet placed,
From the sun,
It's really huge,
The biggest one,
300 times,
The size of Earth
He likes to tease,
And use his girth!
All other planets,
Put together,
Not even half,
This planet's measure!
145. SATURN
Rings for sale!
Rings right here!
They're floating
outside my
atmosphere...
Not gold, not silver,
But really quite nice,
rings
No diamonds here,
But cold, cold ice…
146. URANUS
I spin on my side!
That’s what I do,
My face is face down,
Whoop-a-dee-do!
I never stand straight,
That’s really no fun,
My number is 7,
Away from the sun…
My orbit's real slow,
I never shift gears,
Around the sun?
148. PLUTO
Is Pluto a planet?
Apparently not!
NASA called it a planet,
But now it does not!
A planet one time,
The 9th from the sun,
But now it's demoted,
Its title undone,
Hard rock and cold ice,
Found deep in dark space,
With Eris and Ceres,
It shares a strange place,
It’s called a dwarf planet,
Orbits the skies,
But not a true planet,
Based on its size!
