To solve this puzzle, we need to place the names of the planets in the correct boxes based on their order from the Sun.
Step 1: Know the order of the planets
The planets in our Solar System, starting from the one closest to the Sun and moving outward, are:
1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune
Step 2: Match the planets to the pictures
Let's look at the worksheet and fill in the blanks going from the top (closest to the Sun) to the bottom (farthest away).
*
Closest to the Sun: There is a small grey planet. This is
Mercury.
*
Second from the Sun: There is a yellowish-orange planet. This is
Venus.
*
Third from the Sun: There is a blue and green planet with faces (continents). This is
Earth.
*
Fourth from the Sun: There is a red planet. This is
Mars.
*
Fifth from the Sun: There is a very large orange striped planet. This is
Jupiter.
*
Sixth from the Sun: There is a planet with big rings around it. This is
Saturn.
*
Seventh from the Sun: There is a light blue planet. This is
Uranus.
*
Eighth from the Sun (Farthest): There is a dark blue planet. This is
Neptune.
Step 3: Fill in the boxes
Now we just match these names to the empty white boxes next to each planet picture.
Final Answer:
Starting from the top near the Sun and going down/outward:
1.
Mercury (top right, small grey planet)
2.
Venus (second row, right side, orange planet)
3.
Earth (second row, left side, blue/green planet)
4.
Mars (third row, right side, red planet)
5.
Jupiter (third row, left side, large orange striped planet)
6.
Saturn (fourth row, right side, planet with rings)
7.
Uranus (bottom area, left side, light blue planet)
8.
Neptune (bottom area, right side, dark blue planet)
