Solar System Planets Worksheet: Free Printable PDF for Kids - Free Printable

Let’s solve this step by step.

We are given a diagram of the Solar System with planets labeled by numbers 1 through 8, starting from the Sun and going outward. Some planets are already named: Earth is #3, Mars is #4, Saturn is #6. We need to match each planet name (Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune) with its correct number based on their order from the Sun.

Here’s the order of planets from the Sun:

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

Now let’s match each planet in the worksheet to its number:

- Mercury → should be #1
- Venus → should be #2
- Jupiter → should be #5
- Uranus → should be #7
- Neptune → should be #8

Now look at the options given for each planet in the worksheet:

→ For Mercury: options are 3, 1, 5 → Correct answer is 1

→ For Venus: options are 1, 2, 8 → Correct answer is 2

→ For Jupiter: options are 5, 7, 3 → Correct answer is 5

→ For Uranus: options are 2, 1, 7 → Correct answer is 7

→ For Neptune: options are 8, 3, 2 → Correct answer is 8

Double-checking against the diagram:
- Planet #1 is closest to Sun → Mercury ✔
- Planet #2 is next → Venus ✔
- Planet #5 is big striped one → Jupiter ✔
- Planet #7 is light blue with rings? Wait — actually in the diagram, #7 is light blue without prominent rings, that’s Uranus ✔
- Planet #8 is dark blue farthest out → Neptune ✔

All matches are correct.

Final Answer:
Mercury: 1
Venus: 2
Jupiter: 5
Uranus: 7
Neptune: 8
