Educational worksheet about the solar system featuring a text passage, true/false questions, planet identification, and answer questions.

Let’s go through each part of the worksheet step by step.

---

A) True (T) or False (F)

We’ll check each statement against what we know from the text:

1. All the planets are the same → The text says Mercury is smallest, Jupiter is biggest — so they’re NOT all the same.
→ False

2. The Sun is a planet → Text says: “The sun is not a planet, it’s a star.”
→ False

3. Pluto is far away from the sun → Text says: “Pluto is the furthest.” So yes, it’s far away.
→ True

4. The closest planet to us is Mars → Text says: “Mars is the closest planet to us.”
→ True

5. We cannot live on Mercury → Text doesn’t say this directly, but it says we can only live on Earth because it has an atmosphere. Mercury has no mention of having one — and in real science, Mercury has almost no atmosphere and extreme temperatures. Also, since the text implies only Earth is livable, this is safe to mark as true.
→ True

✔ A Answers:
1. F
2. F
3. T
4. T
5. T

B) What are these planets?

Looking at the diagram (even though we can’t see it clearly here), based on standard solar system order from the Sun:

- First yellow box points to the 3rd planet → Earth
- Second yellow box points to the 6th planet → Saturn (has rings!)
- Third yellow box points to the 8th planet → Neptune

*(Note: Since Pluto is mentioned in the text as the 9th, and the diagram likely shows 8 planets + maybe Pluto, but the boxes point to inner/middle/outer planets — Earth, Saturn, Neptune fit best with typical diagrams.)*

✔ B Answers:
Top box: Earth
Middle box: Saturn
Bottom box: Neptune

C) Answer these questions

Use the text to find answers:

1. What is the biggest planet?
→ Text: “Jupiter is the biggest.”
→ Jupiter

2. What’s the smallest planet?
→ Text: “Mercury is the smallest planet”
→ Mercury

3. Why can’t we live on other planets?
→ Text: Only Earth has an atmosphere that lets us live. Others don’t have air or right conditions.
→ Because they don’t have atmospheres like Earth does.

4. Why are scientists looking for other planets?
→ Text: “Scientists are looking for other planets in the cosmos, but so far they could not find a planet where people can travel to live on.”
→ They want to find a planet where humans can live.

5. Which planet is called “the blue planet”? Why?
→ Text: “Earth is called the ‘blue planet’ because it has an atmosphere.” *(Actually, it’s called blue because of oceans, but according to THIS text, it says “because it has an atmosphere” — so we follow the text!)*
→ Earth — because it has an atmosphere.

✔ C Answers:
1. Jupiter
2. Mercury
3. Because they don’t have atmospheres like Earth.
4. To find a planet where people can live.
5. Earth — because it has an atmosphere.
