- 3. Listen up Boots. It¡¯s story time. Yay Dora! I love your stories.
- 4. One summer day, Kelly and Mandy went on a adventure in the Solar System Land. As they stroll along Orbit Boulevard, Kelly saw Mercury and Venus hiding behind Earth. Kelly said ¡°Look at the two silly planets hiding behind the big, brave Earth.¡± Mandy said ¡°no Kelly, they are not silly, they are only shy because they do not know us. Lets go and introduce ourselves to them.¡±
- 5. Kelly laughed quietly to herself as she remembers Mercury and Venus hiding behind Earth. She said to herself ¡°cowardly Mercury and Venus, hiding behind the great, big Earth.¡±
- 6. Kelly ran quickly and stand in front of Earth and said ¡°Hello, I am Kelly and this is my big sister Mandy.¡± Kelly laughed and pointed to the two planets hiding behind Earth and said ¡°Are you there mother?¡± Earth smiled and said ¡°No, they are my friends. Their names are Mercury and Venus. We are all apart of the solar system along with five other planets. I will introduce you to the other planets later.¡±
- 7. Kelly was intrigued by all the information as she whisper quietly ¡°can you tell us about the solar system?¡± Kelly turned to Earth and said ¡°Can you tell us about the solar system. Earth said ¡°Sure, lets have a seat in the Milky Way.¡± As they sit down quickly, Earth said ¡°the solar system consist of the sun which is at the centre of it and the eight planets and their moons that revolve around it. With the addition of the meteor, asteroids, and comets.¡± Mercury is the smallest planet and Venus is the hottest planet. Venus is also know as the evening star.
- 8. As Kelly and Mandy sit and listen to Earth they heard a rough, loud and mighty voice calling ¡°Earth, Earth, where are you?¡± Earth shouted ¡°I am in the Milky Way, Mars.¡± Mars came rushing into the Milky Way and said ¡°I have been looking everywhere for you.¡± He paused as he realized that Earth had company.
- 9. Mandy smiled to herself and said ¡°Oh, this is Mars. Hmmm, so mighty and strong.¡±
- 10. Mars turned towards Kelly and Mandy and gave a quick smile and said ¡°Hi, I am Mars.¡± I am the fourth planet away from the sun and I am also known as the red planet. Mandy smiled and said ¡°I can see that your not shy and quiet like Mercury and Venus.¡± Mars snicker as he said ¡°those two are cowards, especially Mercury, he is so tiny than the other planets.¡±
- 11. Earth laughed loudly as he said ¡°Oh please Mars, remember the time when Jupiter and Saturn made you cry?¡± Mars murmur quietly ¡°its because they are bigger than me.¡± Earth laughed and said ¡°Mandy and Kelly, remember I was telling you about the solar system? Jupiter is the largest planet and Saturn is the second largest planet. Mars is also apart of the solar system. Mercury, Venus, Mars and I are known as the inner planets or the terrestrial planets.
- 12. Kelly hold on to Mandy¡¯s hands tightly as she thought ¡°Gosh, Jupiter and Saturn are bullies.¡±
- 13. But before I tell you about the inner planets. Let me tell you about the universe. The universe is incredibly huge! It include the planets, the stars, the galaxies, living things, dust cloud, light, even time and the contents of the intergalactic space. The universe is everything we can touch, feel, sense, measure or detect.
- 14. Kelly looked in amazement as she said ¡°Wow, the universe is unbelievable. I always see meteors but I called them shooting stars.¡± Earth chuckle and said ¡°that¡¯s a funny name, shooting star, haha.¡± As evening draws near, Earth rotates slowly as he said ¡°you will soon get a chance to meet the outer planets. However, the inner planets are playful, caring and friendlier than the outer planets.¡±
- 15. Kelly was intrigued by all the information as she whisper quietly ¡°can you tell us about the solar system?¡± Earth said ¡°the inner planets are smaller than the outer planets. The inner planet as greater density while the outer planets as a lower density. The inner planets are rocky while the outer planets are gaseous and the inner planets spin slowly while the outer planets spin quickly.¡± ¡°Those are some of the differences between the inner planets and outer planets¡± said Earth.
- 16. Kelly and Mandy listened quietly as they try to retain all that information. Earth waited for a few minutes and said ¡°the inner and outer planets also have some similarities. All planets revolve around the sun. All planets orbit on the same plane and all planets are spherical in shape.
- 17. Mandy stutter as she said ¡°Oh my, the outer planets sound scary.¡± Earth grin and said ¡°do not worry about them, the sun is the leader of the solar system and he will protect you.¡± Kelly and Mandy breath a sigh of relief as Earth said ¡°the sun is a big ball of gas comprises mostly of hydrogen and ileum. It provide gravitational pull for the other planets.¡±
- 18. The sun is the main source of energy for all the planets, it provide heat and it sustain life on earth. The sun is at the centre of the solar system an it also help in the process of photosynthesis.
- 19. Mandy said ¡°the sun sounds wonderful but what about you Earth? I can bet that your pretty amazing too! Earth blush as he said ¡°Of course, I am! Not to toot my own horn but I am magnificent! I am the third planet from the sun and I am the most dense planet. I am also known as the blue planet and I am the largest of the four inner planets. Furthermore, I am the only planets that human beings can live on and have liquid water at the surface. I have two major forces which are gravity and magnetism.¡±
- 20. Suddenly four large planets jump from behind the sun and scared the inner planets. Earth shakes his head as he said ¡°Kelly and Mandy I will like you to meet Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, the troublemakers. They are also called the outer planets.¡± The inner and outer planet heard a squeaky sound and turn towards the sound. It was Pluto flowing.
- 21. They all shouted ¡°Poor Pluto, not a planet anymore¡± and they left giggling. Earth pointed to Pluto and said ¡°that¡¯s Pluto, he is now a dwarf planet because he does not have certain characteristics to make it a planet.¡±
- 22. ¡°Wow, today was great¡± Mandy thought to herself. It was great meeting the inner and outer planets especially Uranus and Neptune. Did you know that Neptune is the furthest from the sun?
- 23. Anyway, it is getting late guys but it was lovely meeting both of you said Earth. Kelly and Mandy smiled as they walked away and left the Earth to orbit the sun.
