Solar System [information over pictures] [2]

The Earth is one of eight planets in our Solar System.	It is called a Solar System because a sun is at its centre.	The other seven planets in our Solar System are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
You can remember the order of planets out from our Sun with a mnemonic [a silly sentence]. My Very Easy Method Just Soaks Up Names.	This picture is to show the size of our Sun compared to all of the other planets. It also shows the position of the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.

Look at all of the pictures in turn. As you hover over each one a blue screen appears with an explanation of what the picture shows. Important words are underlined. If you are certain that you know about the picture click on it and it will disappear. As you go through all of the pictures you will get rid of all those which you know about and be only left with those you may be unsure of. In some cases you may get rid of all of the pictures in which case you are ready to move on to other activities which will test your knowledge on that particular topic.
