  4. Venus • The second planet from the sun. • This planet is sometimes called Earth’s twin. • This is the closest planet to Earth. • It gets very hot on Venus, so hot it could melt a lead cannonball.

  5. Earth • 70% of Earth is covered in water. • Third closest planet to the sun. • The Earth spins on it’s axis around the sun. It’s tilted axis is the reason we have different seasons.

  6. Mars • Also known as the red planet. • Fourth planet from the sun. • Some pieces of Mars have been found on Earth.

  7. Jupiter • The largest planet in our Solar System. • This planet is so large that all other planets in our Solar System can fit inside it. • Has as many as 63 moons.
