Every seven years, the sun comes out for two hours, otherwise, every day is gloomy. One of the girls named Margot moved to Venus when she was four. She used to live on Earth

planets are classified as either terrestrial or Jovian planets, however, these classifications do not apply to Pluto as it is neither. terrestrial planets are the four planets located closest to the Sun. The root cause for Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars to be categorized as terrestrial planets, is that they are all similar in composition.

The California Science Standards state that, “The solar system consists of the sun and the collection of objects, including planets, their moons, and asteroids that are held around the sun by its gravitational pull.” (NGSS, 2017).
