Based on the analysis of the image, the task is to cut out the planets shown at the bottom of the worksheet and paste them into the correct orbits on the diagram above, using the number guide.
Here is the solution:
1.
Orbit 1 (closest to the Sun): Place the small, grayish planet with a heavily cratered surface. This is
Mercury.
2.
Orbit 2: Place the yellowish planet with a thick, cloudy atmosphere. This is
Venus.
3.
Orbit 3: Place the blue and white planet with visible continents and oceans. This is
Earth.
4.
Orbit 4: Place the reddish planet with visible surface features. This is
Mars.
5.
Orbit 5: Place the large planet with prominent bands and a Great Red Spot. This is
Jupiter.
6.
Orbit 6: Place the planet with a prominent ring system. This is
Saturn.
7.
Orbit 7: Place the pale blue-green planet. This is
Uranus.
8.
Orbit 8 (farthest from the Sun): Place the deep blue planet. This is
Neptune.
By matching each planet's visual characteristics with its correct position in the solar system, you can successfully complete the worksheet.
