Hi Gulalay,
What a clever girl you are. Well done! Your answers are correct.

Such a fantastic effort certainly deserves a 'Blog Comment of the Week' certificate.

I'll post up a new challenge towards the end of the week.

Bye for now,
Mrs Clift

hi mrs clift
i think i know some of them i will try my best.
1.Venus because it is similer to the earth.
2.Jupiter is a biggest planet of all.

3.Uranus is made out of gas and ice.

4.saturn because Jupiter is bigger and saturn is a bit smaller.
5.MURCURY i think becuase the sun moves fast and murcury is near the sun so it moves fast.
6.Earth because it has more countrys

p.s i have some more pages to submint!

hi mrs clift is it okay that i talk about the solar system.

The Solar System is made up of the Sun and all the things that travel around it.SOLAR System is so big that it is hard to imajine.But compard to the rest the Universe,it is just a tiny speck.The times it takes a planet to go round the sun is equal to one year on that planet.It takes around 365 Earth days for the Earth to go around the Sun.A year on Murcury, the planet nearest the sun. is just 88 EARTH days.
A year on pluto, the planet nearest the Sun, is mor than 90,000 EARTH days.Our star The Sun is the largest body in the solar system. like all stars, it gives off huge amounts of heat and light.The Sun produces a strong pulling force called gravity. The pull of gravity stops all the planets from flying off into outer space.
