The task in the image is to
identify and label the planets in our solar system in order from the Sun outward. The worksheet shows the Sun at the center, with concentric orbits representing the paths of the eight planets. Each planet is illustrated with its distinctive features (like Earth's blue and white, Jupiter’s bands, Saturn’s rings, etc.), and there are blank boxes next to each orbit where you need to write the name of the corresponding planet.

Step-by-step Solution:
We will go from
closest to the Sun to
farthest, identifying each planet based on its appearance and position.
1.
First planet (closest to the Sun)
- Color: Grayish, small, rocky
- This is
Mercury
→ Write
Mercury
2.
Second planet
- Orange-red, rocky surface
- This is
Venus
→ Write
Venus
3.
Third planet
- Blue and white with clouds, recognizable as Earth
- This is
Earth
→ Write
Earth
4.
Fourth planet
- Reddish-orange, has a rusty appearance
- This is
Mars
→ Write
Mars
5.
Fifth planet
- Large, with visible bands and a Great Red Spot
- This is
Jupiter
→ Write
Jupiter
6.
Sixth planet
- Has prominent rings (tilted)
- This is
Saturn
→ Write
Saturn
7.
Seventh planet
- Blue with faint stripes, no rings
- This is
Uranus
→ Write
Uranus
8.
Eighth planet (farthest)
- Deep blue, slightly tilted
- This is
Neptune
→ Write
Neptune

Final Answer (from innermost to outermost):
1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars

✔ Tip: A common mnemonic to remember the order is:
"My Very Eager Mother Just Served Us Nachos"
(Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune)

Now, fill in the blanks in the worksheet in this order from bottom to top (closest to farthest from the Sun).
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of label the solar system worksheet.
