Educational worksheet matching planet descriptions to their correct names and images.

Let’s go step by step to match each description with the correct planet.

---

1. The largest planet in the solar system.
→ That’s Jupiter. It’s bigger than all other planets combined!

2. The sixth planet from the sun in the solar system.
→ Counting from the Sun: Mercury (1), Venus (2), Earth (3), Mars (4), Jupiter (5), Saturn (6) → So, Saturn

3. The brightest planet in the solar system.
→ This is Venus. It shines very brightly in our sky — sometimes called the “Morning Star” or “Evening Star.”

4. The planet with the nickname “Red Planet”.
→ That’s Mars, because of its reddish color from iron oxide (rust) on its surface.

5. The coldest planet in the solar system.
→ Even though Neptune is farther, Uranus holds the record for coldest temperature ever measured (-224°C). But wait — let’s double-check:
Actually, Neptune is farther and should be colder… but Uranus has no internal heat source, so it gets *colder* overall. Most sources say Uranus is the coldest. However, some newer data says Neptune can get slightly colder at times. But for school level, Uranus is often accepted as the coldest. Let’s stick with Uranus unless told otherwise.
Wait — actually, looking at standard curriculum: Neptune is farthest and usually considered coldest. Hmm. Let me check again.

Actually, according to NASA and most textbooks:
- Uranus average temp: -224°C
- Neptune average temp: -218°C
So Uranus is colder! Yes — Uranus is the coldest.

But wait — the worksheet lists both Uranus and Neptune. And question #8 is “farthest”, which is Neptune. So if #5 is coldest, and Uranus is colder, then #5 = Uranus.

✔ Confirmed: Uranus is the coldest.

6. A dwarf planet in the solar system.
→ From the list, only Pluto is a dwarf planet. All others are full planets.

7. The planet closest to the sun in the solar system.
→ That’s Mercury.

8. The planet farthest from the sun in the solar system.
→ Since Pluto is now a dwarf planet, the farthest *planet* is Neptune.

9. The only known planet to support life.
→ That’s Earth. We haven’t found life anywhere else yet.

Now let’s write down the matches:

1. Largest → Jupiter
2. Sixth from Sun → Saturn
3. Brightest → Venus
4. Red Planet → Mars
5. Coldest → Uranus
6. Dwarf planet → Pluto
7. Closest to Sun → Mercury
8. Farthest from Sun → Neptune
9. Supports life → Earth

Note: There’s a typo in the image — “Mecury” should be “Mercury”. But we’ll use the correct spelling.

Also, note that Saturn is shown with rings — that helps identify it visually.

Final Answer:

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