4. Hi kids.. Today we are going to explore our Solar System. You will learn about the major planets of the solar system. They are divided into two groups the terrestrial planets which are composed of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars while Gas giant planets are Jupiter,Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, because of this, we can fully understand our solar system. So…let’s begin GUIDECARD1GUIDECARD1

5. CELESTIAL ESCAPADE Let’s begin the journey Major planets are composed of big and small planets they are called terrestrial and gas giants.Terrestrial planets are small rocky and inner planets.Gaseous giant-big no lithosphere and outer planets Direction: Cut out pictures and paste it on its proper position in the solar system.
