Mooning around
The Solar System comprises of eight planets – Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It also has dwarf planets like Pluto, many moons, asteroids, comets and meteorites.
The word ‘planet’ is derived from an ancient word that encompasses science, history, astrology, mythology and religion. A planet is a celestial body that orbits the sun and carries enough mass to be circled by its own gravity. Many planets have moons. While some have just one; others have many.
Can you match the moon to its planet?
