Problem Description:
The task involves labeling the planets in the solar system and answering questions related to the solar system. The image shows a diagram of the solar system with the Sun labeled as "A" and six other positions labeled from 1 to 6, representing the planets. The goal is to identify which planet corresponds to each label.
Solution:
#### Step 1: Understand the Solar System Order
The planets in our solar system, ordered from closest to farthest from the Sun, are:
1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune
#### Step 2: Match the Labels to the Planets
From the diagram, we can see that there are six positions labeled from 1 to 6. These correspond to the first six planets in order (Mercury to Saturn). Let's match them:
-
Position 1: This is the closest planet to the Sun. It is
Mercury.
-
Position 2: The second planet from the Sun. It is
Venus.
-
Position 3: The third planet from the Sun. It is
Earth.
-
Position 4: The fourth planet from the Sun. It is
Mars.
-
Position 5: The fifth planet from the Sun. It is
Jupiter.
-
Position 6: The sixth planet from the Sun. It is
Saturn.
#### Step 3: Answer the Questions
Now, let's answer the questions based on the information provided:
1.
The sun is at the center of the universe...
-
False. The Sun is at the center of our solar system, but not the entire universe. The universe is much larger, and the Sun is just one star among billions in the Milky Way galaxy.
2.
The moon orbits around the earth...
-
True. The Moon orbits the Earth as its natural satellite.
3.
The largest planet in our solar system...
-
Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in terms of size and mass.
4.
The smallest planet in our solar system...
-
Mercury. Mercury is the smallest planet in terms of size.
5.
The Earth is the only planet in our solar system that has life...
-
True. As of now, Earth is the only known planet in the solar system to support life.
6.
The closest planet to the sun is...
-
Mercury. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
#### Final Answer:
The planet labeled as "6" in the diagram is
Saturn.
Boxed Final Answer:
$$
\boxed{\text{Saturn}}
