Our Solar System 

We are going to talk about our Sun, our Moon, our planet Earth and the other planets.
First we start with a song about the eight planets, the names of the planets are:
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune,
together ​with the Sun they form our Solar System.
Click on the "The Planet Song" below and try to sing along with the music.


Okay, now lets have a look at our planet Earth where we live

Time for another short song about the eight planets

Let's have a look at our Sun which is in the center of our Solar System

Time for another song about. . . . . . .
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Close your eyes and try to say the planet names aloud.
​Now sing along softly with the following song.

So we talked about the Sun and the Earth, but let's not forget . . . . . . . the Moon.
The eight planets orbit around the Sun but the Moon orbits around the Earth.
Therefor the moon is not a planet but a moon!
​
Until now we only looked at the Sun, planet Earth and the Moon but there
are eight planets in the Solar System, so let's have a look.

Our Solar system is part of the Milky Way

So... how big is the Universe? It's big... really big... no, bigger than that... it's BIG
