Explanation:
We need to label the planets in order from the Sun outward, based on their positions in the diagram.

The solar system has 8 planets (Pluto is no longer classified as a planet). Starting closest to the Sun and moving outward:

1. Mercury – smallest, grayish, closest to the Sun
2. Venus – yellowish-white, second from the Sun
3. Earth – blue and green (oceans and land), third from the Sun
4. Mars – reddish-orange, fourth from the Sun
5. Jupiter – largest, orange and red bands, fifth from the Sun
6. Saturn – yellow with prominent rings, sixth from the Sun
7. Uranus – light blue/green, seventh from the Sun
8. Neptune – dark blue, eighth (farthest known) planet

Now match these to the labeled lines in the worksheet (from innermost orbit outward):

- The first line (closest to Sun) points to the small gray planet → Mercury
- Next line points to the tan/yellowish planet → Venus
- Next line points to the blue-green planet → Earth
- Next line points to the red/orange planet → Mars
- Next line points to the large striped orange-red planet → Jupiter
- Next line points to the ringed planet → Saturn
- Next line points to the light blue planet → Uranus
- Last line (outermost) points to the dark blue planet → Neptune

So the labels, from top to bottom (as the blank boxes are arranged vertically on the right, matching the planets from outermost to innermost in the diagram), must be filled in reverse order of distance — because the lines go from outer planets down to inner ones.

Looking at the diagram layout:
The top blank box connects to the *outermost* planet (dark blue) → Neptune
Second blank → light blue planet → Uranus
Third blank → ringed planet → Saturn
Fourth blank → striped orange planet → Jupiter
Fifth blank → red planet → Mars
Sixth blank → blue-green planet → Earth
Seventh blank → tan planet → Venus
Eighth (bottom) blank → gray planet → Mercury

Thus, from top to bottom (as the blanks appear), the answers are:

1. Neptune
2. Uranus
3. Saturn
4. Jupiter
5. Mars
6. Earth
7. Venus
8. Mercury

Final Answer:
Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury
