What Are The Planets Like?

 

The Planets that orbit our sun are divided into two groups, the inner planets and the outer planets.

Inner planets: (Say it in French! les planètes intèrieures)

Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They lie between the sun and the asteroid belt. Just like a belt to hold up your pants is in the middle of your body, the asteroid belt is in the middle of the planets.

Outer planets: (Say it in French! les planètes extérieures)

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. They are made up of mostly gases and are often called gas giants. Gas giants (Say it in French! les géants du gaz): The planets that are mostly spheres of gases.
