We think of the world as a big place, but when you think that it is only one planet in our solar system, and that the galaxy and the universe beyond are even bigger, Earth suddenly seems quite small. more
There are seven other planets in our solar system: until very recently, there were nine, but astronomers decided in 2006 to reclassify Pluto as a dwarf planet, as there are other bodies in the solar system of the same size. Other than Earth, all the planets are named after Roman or Greek gods. For example, Mercury is named after the fleet-footed messenger of the gods because it moves so fast.
Light up your children’s imagination with solar system crafts. They can enhance their studies of our place in space by creating their own stars, planets, moons and orbits!
