By: Raimer Rojas © 11/1/08 (chorus) In the symphony of the planets Each one spins and also orbits the sun Some are closer, others farther in distance Yet its gravity affects everyone (2x) Forever bound in a celestial dance 1) Mercury lies closest to the sun But surprisingly it’s not the warmest one Next comes Venus, trapping heat with its greenhouse gases Earning the title of hottest planet 2) Earth’s the third planet in proximity to the sun It contains liquid water and supports complex life Mars follows it, “Could it once have held life?” Its claim is two moons and the largest volcano (to chorus) 3) Jupiter is the largest of all the planets It is circled by faint rings and 60 plus moons Saturn, is next, with its wide and bright rings These gas giants follow the inner planets 4) Uranus follows them and then Neptune They have a number of moons and very faint rings Together these four form the outer planets Which are mostly made of hydrogen and helium (to chorus) (bridge) At the center of our solar system lies an average-size star Giving light, warmth, and energy to everything within is reach A fiery furnace rages within its core, Under enormous pressure and extreme temperature Fusing hydrogen atoms to produce helium And releasing great energy as heat and light |
