	Flying from the Sun to the Stars


	An easy song

There are nine planets in our solar system. These planets orbit - or go round - the Sun. The Sun is at the centre. Earth is one of the nine planets. Can you name the nine planets in our solar system? Can you put them in the right order? What do you know about each of the planets?

We’re flying from the sun to the stars
Through this solar system of ours
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars
Flying from the sun to the stars

Mercury’s hot and Venus is bright
Earth is where we live and Mars is red at night
Flying from the sun to the stars

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune
Last of all is little biddy Pluto
