Can you remember which planet is closest to the sun? Which is the furthest away? In the column on the left, next to the name of each planet, write a number between 1 and 8 to show where this planet stands in relation to the sun. For example, Mercury is the planet closest to the sun, so is number 1.

In the column on the right, write the best description (or descriptions) for each planet.

In the video, Paxi talked about these three things. Explain what they are.
