““The Solar System song”The Solar System song”(tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)(tune: “Wheels on the Bus”)

The planets go around the sun,

Around the sun,

Around the sun.

We have 9 planets around the sun

That we know!

First comes Mercury,

Mercury, Mercury, Mercury.

It is the closest to the sun so

It’s very hard to see!

Then we get to Venus,

Venus, Venus.

It is a lot like the Earth

In size and weight.

Now we are at Earth, Earth,

Earth.

We love Earth because it’s our

home every day!

Fourth is Mars,

Mars, Mars, Mars.

Some say aliens live on Mars.

I don’t know!

Fifth is Jupiter,

Jupiter, Jupiter, Jupiter.

It is the LARGEST

And moves very fast,

Oo-oo-oo!

Sixth is Saturn,

Saturn, Saturn, Saturn.

It has 3 rings

That we can see!

Seventh is Uranus,

Uranus, Uranus, Uranus.

This one looks very blue

Because

Of water vapor.

Eighth is Neptune,

Neptune, Neptune, Neptune.

It is blue and has lots of storms,

But that’s okay!

Ninth is Pluto,

Pluto, Pluto, Pluto.

It is very small

And that ends our song!
