My favorite chapter in science is the solar system. I like space because it is a lot of fun. Mercury is the smallest planet in space. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The next planet in the solar system is Venus. Venus is the second planet from the sun. Venus is made of carbon dioxide and nitrogen. The next planet in our solar system is Earth. Earth is also called the blue planet and is third from the sun. Earth has life, plants, and water. Mars is our next planet and is the fourth from the sun. Mars is sometimes called the red planet. Mars has 2 moons. The next planets called the outer planets or gas planets. The first gas planet is Jupiter. Jupiter is the fifth from the sun and has a great big red spot on it. The next gas planet is Saturn or the sixth planet from the sun. Saturn has rings around the planet and is made up of water ice and something else. The next planet is Uranus or the seventh planet from the sun. Uranus has rings that sometimes appear around the planet. The last planet is Neptune or the eighth planet from the sun. Neptune is the last of the gas planets or outer planets. Neptune contains ice and water and much more in the planet.
