The task is to label each planet in our solar system based on their positions relative to the Sun. Here's how to solve it:
Step-by-Step Solution:
1.
Identify the Planets: The solar system has eight planets, and they are ordered from the Sun outward as follows:
- Mercury
- Venus
- Earth
- Mars
- Jupiter
- Saturn
- Uranus
- Neptune
2.
Match the Planets to Their Positions:
- The closest planet to the Sun is
Mercury.
- The second planet from the Sun is
Venus.
- The third planet from the Sun is
Earth.
- The fourth planet from the Sun is
Mars.
- The fifth planet from the Sun is
Jupiter.
- The sixth planet from the Sun is
Saturn.
- The seventh planet from the Sun is
Uranus.
- The eighth planet from the Sun is
Neptune.
3.
Label Each Planet:
- The smallest grayish planet closest to the Sun is
Mercury.
- The next planet (slightly larger and orange) is
Venus.
- The blue-green planet with a moon is
Earth.
- The red planet with a smiley face is
Mars.
- The large orange planet with bands is
Jupiter.
- The yellow planet with rings is
Saturn.
- The light blue planet is
Uranus.
- The dark blue planet is
Neptune.
Final Answer:
-
Closest to the Sun: Mercury
- Second: Venus
- Third: Earth
- Fourth: Mars
- Fifth: Jupiter
- Sixth: Saturn
- Seventh: Uranus
- Eighth: Neptune

Explanation:
Each planet is labeled based on its distance from the Sun and its distinctive features (e.g., rings for Saturn, blue color for Uranus). This exercise helps reinforce the order and appearance of the planets in our solar system.
Final Answer:
\boxed{Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune}
