The Planet Song (to the tune of The Farmer’s in the Dell) Author: Unknown
“The family of the sun,
The family of the sun
There are nine planets in the family of the sun.”
“Mercury is hot & Mercury is small
Mercury has no atmosphere
It’s just a rocky ball.”
“Venus has thick clouds
That hide what is below
The air is foul the ground is hot and it rotates very slow”
“We love the Earth our home,
It’s oceans & it’s trees
We eat its food we breathe it’s air, so no pollution please “
“Mars is very red,
It’s also dry & cold
Some day man might visit Mars if he is very bold”
“Great Jupiter is big,
We’ve studied it a lot
We’ve found that it has 16 moons and a big red spot!”
“Saturn has great rings,
We wondered what they were
Now we know they’re icy rocks, which we saw as a blur.”
“Uranus & Neptune,
We don’t know much about
Maybe you can study them & then we’ll all find out”
“Pluto’s last in line
It’s farthest from the Sun
It’s small and cold and icy too, to go there wouldn’t be fun.”
“The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun
There are nine planets in the family of the Sun”
Gravity Author: Unknown
The planets in their galaxy,
brightly dotted stars I see.
In a pattern one by one,
revolving fast around the sun.
While the earth is spinning,
I stay firmly on the ground.
Gravity keeps me in place,
as I spin around in space.
Planets Song (to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star") By: Cassie Sherman
I know the planets one by one
Starting with the one that's closest to the sun.
Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,
Are the first four among the stars.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune
Are the next planets in my tune.
Pluto's the farthest one from the sun.
I know the planets one by one.
Solar System (to the tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star) Author: Unknown
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh so bright and oh so far.
In the sky, a tiny dot.
Glowing gas that's very hot!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh so bright and oh so far.
Beaming, beaming, gleaming moon,
Like a giant white balloon,
Round and round the Earth you spin,
Through the month, new shapes you're in.
Beaming, beaming, gleaming moon,
Like a giant white balloon.
Glowing, glowing, red-hot sun.
Shining light on everyone.
Earth goes round you once a year.
You're a star with atmosphere!
Glowing, glowing, red-hot sun,
Shining light on everyone.
Zoom, Zoom! Author: Unknown
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon!
If you’d like to take a trip
Come aboard my rocketship.
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon.
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon!
We are flying all around
In the place where stars are found.
Zoom, zoom, zoom
We’re going to the moon.
Stars (to the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star")
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
I know what you really are:
Giant ball of glowing gas,
One of billions in a mass!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh, how big you really are!
Twinkle, twinkle, giant star,
Larger than the Earth by far!
Since your distance is a lot,
You look like a tiny dot.
Twinkle, twinkle, giant star,
Very bright, yet very far!
Stars are twinkling, every one,
Some are bigger than the sun!
Just a twinkle in the sky,
Just because you're oh, so high!
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
Oh, how big you really are!

The Family of the Sun (to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell") Author: Unknown
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun,
Here are nine planets in
The family of the Sun.
Mercury is hot
And Mercury is small.
Mercury has no atmosphere.
It's just a rocky ball.
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun,
Here's another planet in
The family of the Sun.
Venus has thick clouds
That hide what is below
The air is foul, the ground is hot,
It rotates very slow.
(Repeat Refrain)
We love the Earth, our home,
Its oceans and its trees.
We eat its food, we breathe its air,
So no pollution, please.
(Repeat Refrain)
Mars is very red.
It's also dry and cold
Some day you might visit Mars
If you are really bold.
(Repeat Refrain)
Great Jupiter is big.
We've studies it a lot.
We found that it has 16 moons
And a big red spot.
(Repeat Refrain)
Saturn has great rings.
We wondered what they were.
Now we know they're icy rocks
Which we saw as a blur.
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun,
Here are two more planets in
The family of the Sun.
Uranus and Neptune
We don't know much about
Maybe you will study them
And then we'll all find out.
(Repeat Refrain)
Pluto's last in line.
It's farthest from the Sun.*
It's small and cold and icy too.
To land there won't be fun.
The family of the Sun,
The family of the Sun,
There are nine planets and
Now our journey's done.
* Every 248 years, Pluto's orbit brings it inside Neptune's orbit for a period of 20 years. From 1979 to 1999, Neptune will
be farthest from the Sun. (From Exploring the Planets Gallery, National Air and Space Museum, Smithsonian Institution)
Rockets Author: Unknown
Rockets flying out in space,
Rockets flying every place,
Rockets from Earth
to Venus and Mars,
to silver moons and shining stars.
Rockets to galaxies far away,
I think I'll build a rocket some day.
I'll fuel it first,
I'll fly it away.
I'll land in time
for Christmas day.
On Pluto, Neptune,
Saturn or Mars.
On a silver moon,
Or a shining star.
