About Planets
Eight planets circle the Sun, and no two are much alike. Mercury is a scorched, cratered world smaller than some moons; Jupiter is a ball of gas with a storm wider than Earth. Saturn's rings are made of countless pieces of ice and rock. Pluto, reclassified as a dwarf planet in 2006, still appears here alongside the comets, asteroids and telescopes that fill out the neighborhood. Every term hidden in the grid names something real above you.
Reach for this page during an astronomy or solar system unit, or when a young stargazer wants something to do before dark.
