I'm the planet that everyone calls “Red,” But really my soil is rust-colored instead. Look up and you may spot me in the sky, I'm the orange-colored dot, way up high.
Mars
With over 63 moons, you might say I have a lot. Look with a telescope to see my big, red spot. The spot is a wind storm, swirling around. High in the night sky is where I can be found.
Jupiter
I'm blue and green and a little brown. I'm a small planet with life all around. They call me the third rock from the sun. I don't have many moons - just one.
Earth
No matter how hard you look, you'll never find me, Unless you have a telescope to help you see. I was once called a planet, but not any more. Now I'm just a “Dwarf Planet,” but too important to ignore.
