Welcome to an exciting space adventure! We have a special mission for you. Are you ready to explore the solar system and gather all the amazing facts about it? Let’s hop on our spaceship and blast off into outer space!
Wow, look at the solar system! It’s a part of a huge galaxy called the Milky Way. Our solar system has a big, bright star called the Sun and eight wonderful planets. There are also moons, which are like little friends that circle around the planets. The Sun is super important because it gives us the energy we need to live on Earth.
Let’s start with the closest planet to the Sun, Mercury. It’s small and gray. Next is Venus, which is a lot like Earth in size. Then, there’s our home, Earth! You probably know a lot about it already. After Earth, we have Mars, the red planet. Mars is smaller than Earth and doesn’t have any water, but it has two moons.
Now, let’s meet Jupiter, the biggest planet in our solar system. It’s made mostly of gas and liquid, with a rocky center. Saturn comes next, famous for its beautiful rings made of rocks and asteroids. It’s the second biggest planet and is also made of gas.
Then we have Uranus, the ice giant. It’s chilly and has 27 moons! Finally, there’s Neptune, the farthest planet from the Sun. It’s the coldest planet because it’s so far away.
All the planets travel around the Sun, and this journey is called a revolution. This movement helps create day and night and changes the seasons. Planets also spin around themselves, which is called rotation. This affects how long a day is and the temperature in different places. For example, a day on Earth is 24 hours, but on Venus, it takes 243 Earth days for one day!
You’ve done an amazing job exploring the solar system! Now it’s time to head back to Earth and share what you’ve learned. Great work, space explorer!

Create Your Own Solar System Model: Gather some craft supplies like colored paper, scissors, glue, and string. Create a model of the solar system by cutting out circles for each planet and the Sun. Use different colors to represent each planet. Arrange them in order from the Sun and hang them with string to see how they orbit. Discuss with a friend or family member why the planets are placed in that order and what makes each one unique.
Planet Rotation Experiment: Use a flashlight to represent the Sun and a small ball to represent Earth. In a dark room, shine the flashlight on the ball and slowly spin the ball to see how day and night occur. Try this with different speeds to understand how rotation affects the length of a day. Discuss how this experiment helps you understand why we have day and night on Earth.
Observation Journal: Keep a journal for a week and observe the sky each day. Note down the position of the Sun at different times and how the sky changes from day to night. Draw pictures of what you see and write a few sentences about your observations. Think about how the Sun’s position affects the temperature and light during the day. Share your journal with your class and discuss how these observations relate to the movement of Earth around the Sun.
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Welcome to Houston! We need you to complete the mission that the UN has given us. Are you up for it? You have to investigate the solar system and collect all the information possible. The mission is in your hands—get onboard and take off!
You are in outer space! Look how beautiful the solar system is. The solar system is part of a galaxy called the Milky Way. It is made up of a great star called the Sun and eight planets. There are also moons or satellites that rotate around the planets. The Sun is the star in the solar system, and all of the planets orbit around it. The energy that it gives off is necessary for life on Earth.
The closest planet to the Sun is called Mercury. It is gray and the smallest planet in the solar system. The next planet is Venus, which is the most similar to Earth; they are almost the same size. And here we have Earth, where we come from. I think you already know a lot about it. Let’s move on to Mars, known as the red planet. Mars is smaller than Earth and doesn’t have water. It has two moons.
This one here is Jupiter, the biggest planet in the solar system. It is gaseous, made up of gas and liquid, except for its core, which is rocky. Here we have Saturn, the ring planet. It is the second biggest planet and is another one of the gaseous planets. The rings are made of rocks and asteroids.
Next is the ice giant Uranus, which is also made up of gases and liquids. It has 27 moons. Finally, we have Neptune, the planet furthest from the Sun. Because of its location, it is the coldest planet of all.
The planets spin around the Sun, and this movement is called revolution. Thanks to this, the length of a day and night changes, and there are different seasons. They also spin around themselves, which is called rotation. This movement affects the length of a day and night as well as the temperature of each area. Each planet makes two movements at different speeds and distances around the Sun. Because of this, a day lasts 24 hours on Earth and 243 Earth days on Venus.
That’s it! You completed the mission. It’s time to go back to Earth to explain your discoveries about the solar system. Great job!
