It’s known as the red planet because of its atmosphere It is the fourth planet from the Sun, and the seventh largest Scientists think people could live on Mars There are 2 special robots exploring the surface of Mars It has 2 moons Jupiter is a giant gas planet it is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest of all nine planets It's 318 times bigger than the Earth It’s the third brightest object in the night sky. Only Venus and the Moon are brighter It has 67 moons Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun, and the second largest of the nine planets is a giant gas planet It's most famous for its beautiful rings It has 60 moons Saturn is the root of the English word "Saturday.
