How did all the planets get
there? How is it only our planet has life? Will we ever travel to
other planets? I often think about these questions. I think our
planet is the best. It looks so beautiful from space with its
mixture of blue and green. The other planets look too strange to
me. Mercury is just a red, hot ball, pretty much the same as Mars.
Saturn looks like a real planet. Its rings give it an extra-special
look. The other planets don’t look that interesting. I don’t really
know much about Venus, Neptune, Uranus and Jupiter. When I was at
school, we learnt that Pluto was a planet. However now it is not.
Scientists have decided there are now only eight planets in our
solar system and not nine. I wonder why they dropped
Pluto.
