Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

Planets travel in orbits around the stars. All of the planets of the solar system revolve in elliptical
orbits. In other words, their orbits are like large, flat circles. The time that it takes a planet to make one
revolution around the sun is called a year.
The Greeks were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets. Tile word planet
comes from a Greek word meaning wanderer If a person wanders, this means that he goes from one

There are millions of plants and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and animals living in the
oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of the water in their thousands. They are food
for huge numbers of small animals that also live near the surface. Together, they are all known as
plankton.

Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the largest, the whale shark. Despite their great size,
certain whales live entirely on plankton.
The blue whale is the largest animal ever to live. It grows to a length of over 100 feet. The humpback
whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The Californian grey
whale makes long migrations every year- it spends the summer feeding in the Arctic but swims south to
the warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females give birth in the shallow, warm
water there.
Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat -eaters. Sharks, for example, area some of the
fastest hunters, although not all of them eat other fish.
Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark down there that many of these fish have
“light” on them, which are used for attracting smaller fish for the larger ones to eat.
Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet
across. They don’t really swim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain
a powerful sting, they are often eaten by turtles. Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their
eggs on sandy beaches.
