Solar System Worksheets for grade 1-6 - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to label each picture correctly using the word bank.

We have these words to use:
- Saturn
- Earth
- Neptune
- Mercury
- Sun
- Jupiter
- Uranus
- Mars
- Venus

Now, let’s look at each picture one by one and match it with the right name.

---

First row (left to right):

1. Picture 1: A big planet with stripes — that’s Jupiter. It’s the largest planet and has visible bands.
2. Picture 2: A bright blue planet — that’s Uranus. It’s often shown as light blue because of its atmosphere.
3. Picture 3: A reddish-brown rocky planet — that’s Mars, also called the Red Planet.
4. Picture 4: A dark red/orange cratered planet — that’s Mercury. It looks like our Moon but is closer to the Sun.

---

Middle:

5. Picture 5: Big yellow ball with rays — that’s the Sun. It’s not a planet, but it’s in the word bank and clearly the center of the solar system.

---

Bottom row (left to right):

6. Picture 6: Deep blue planet — that’s Neptune. It’s farther out than Uranus and usually darker blue.
7. Picture 7: Blue and green planet with continents — that’s Earth. Our home planet!
8. Picture 8: Striped tan planet — wait, this looks similar to Picture 1? But actually, this is Jupiter again? Wait — no! Let’s check: Picture 1 was Jupiter. This one is smaller and less detailed? Actually, looking closely — this might be meant to be Venus? No — Venus is usually shown as cloudy yellow/white. Hmm… Wait — maybe I made a mistake earlier.

Wait — let’s double-check:

Actually, Picture 8 (bottom row, third from left) — it’s a tan planet with faint stripes — that’s likely Venus? But Venus doesn’t have stripes. Or maybe it’s Earth? No, Earth is already Picture 7.

Hold on — let’s reassign carefully.

Looking again:

Top row:
- Pic 1: Jupiter ✔
- Pic 2: Uranus ✔
- Pic 3: Mars ✔
- Pic 4: Mercury ✔

Middle:
- Pic 5: Sun ✔

Bottom row:
- Pic 6: Neptune ✔ (deep blue)
- Pic 7: Earth ✔ (blue/green)
- Pic 8: ??? Tan with stripes — could it be Venus? But Venus isn’t striped. Maybe it’s Saturn without rings? No — Saturn has rings.

Wait — Picture 9 (last one on bottom right) has rings — that’s definitely Saturn.

So Picture 8 must be Venus? But Venus is usually depicted as yellowish-white or orange due to clouds. The image shows a tan planet with some banding — perhaps it’s meant to be Venus? Or maybe it’s a duplicate?

Wait — let’s count how many pictures there are.

There are 9 pictures total.

Word bank has 9 names: Saturn, Earth, Neptune, Mercury, Sun, Jupiter, Uranus, Mars, Venus → exactly 9.

So we need to assign each once.

Let me list them again with better matching:

✔ Picture 1 (striped large): Jupiter

✔ Picture 2 (light blue): Uranus

✔ Picture 3 (red rocky): Mars

✔ Picture 4 (dark red cratered): Mercury

✔ Picture 5 (yellow sun): Sun

✔ Picture 6 (dark blue): Neptune

✔ Picture 7 (blue/green globe): Earth

✔ Picture 8 (tan with faint stripes): This is tricky. In many worksheets, they show Venus as a plain orange/tan sphere. But here it has stripes? Maybe it’s a misdrawn Venus? Or perhaps it’s meant to be Venus anyway.

Wait — actually, looking at common educational images:

Sometimes Venus is shown as a smooth orange ball. But here Picture 8 has horizontal lines — which is more like Jupiter or Saturn. But Jupiter is already used.

Another thought: Maybe Picture 8 is Venus, and the stripes are just artistic? Or perhaps it’s Earth without clouds? No, Earth is already Picture 7.

Wait — let’s look at Picture 9: Has rings → Saturn

That leaves only Venus unassigned for Picture 8.

But Venus shouldn’t have stripes. Unless... maybe the worksheet made a mistake? Or perhaps in this context, they’re showing Venus with atmospheric bands? Unlikely.

Alternative idea: Maybe Picture 8 is Venus, and Picture 3 is something else? No, Picture 3 is clearly Mars.

Wait — let’s check online standard representations:

- Mercury: gray/brown, cratered → matches Picture 4
- Venus: yellowish-white, cloudy → but here Picture 8 is tan with stripes? Not matching.
- Earth: blue/green → Picture 7
- Mars: red → Picture 3
- Jupiter: striped → Picture 1
- Saturn: rings → Picture 9
- Uranus: light blue → Picture 2
- Neptune: dark blue → Picture 6
- Sun: yellow → Picture 5

That leaves Venus for Picture 8 — even though it’s drawn with stripes, perhaps it’s an error, or perhaps in this worksheet, they’re representing Venus differently.

Maybe Picture 8 is meant to be Venus, and the stripes are just shading? Or perhaps it’s Earth viewed from space without oceans? No, Earth is already assigned.

I think we have to go with:

Picture 8 = Venus (even if imperfectly drawn)

Because all other planets are accounted for.

Alternatively — wait! What if Picture 8 is Jupiter and Picture 1 is something else? No, Picture 1 is clearly Jupiter.

Perhaps the worksheet has two Jupiters? But word bank has only one Jupiter.

No — let’s count the images again:

Row 1: 4 images

Row 2: 1 image (Sun)

Row 3: 4 images

Total: 9 images

Words: 9 words

So each word used once.

Final assignment:

Top row:
1. Jupiter
2. Uranus
3. Mars
4. Mercury

Middle:
5. Sun

Bottom row:
6. Neptune
7. Earth
8. Venus ← despite the stripes, it must be Venus
9. Saturn

Yes, that uses all words.

Even though Venus is typically not striped, in this worksheet, Picture 8 is labeled as Venus by process of elimination.

Perhaps the artist added stripes by mistake, or it's stylized.

So we’ll go with that.
