Every morning, the Sun wakes up and smiles at her eight children, the planets. First, she greets Mercury, who's closest and smallest. Then Venus, the hottest. She says hello to Earth, our home, with its moon. Mars, the red planet, is next. Jupiter, the biggest, Saturn with its rings, Uranus, and Neptune get their turns. Last, she waves to distant twinkling stars, Earth's far-off cousins.
