We are the planets of the Solar System. Different sizes for every one. The music never ends we are such good friends and we all orbit the sun. Here comes the Sun rapping first on this track, from the beginning. I'm the center of the solar system, planets be spinning around me, so hot, I'm roasting, ya see? Now I pass the mic to the planet closest to me. Mercury! The smallest planet, small as Earth's moon. I get super hot and cold and I spin very slow. I'm Venus! I've got mountains and volcanoes that spray. I'm the same size as Earth but spin the opposite way. Yeah, I'm Earth, I'm the home to every boy and girl. I'm Mars, the red planet, I've got deserts and ice and I've got two moons - nice - that's like one moon, twice! I'm Jupiter! the biggest planet, I'm humungous, gargantuan
I spin the fastest, rap the fastest, plus I'm handsome. Oh please, I'm Saturn, check out my beautiful rings. Made up of billions of rocks, dust, and other things. I'm Uranus, I say that with pride, okay, I lie- I'm embarrassed 'cause I'm the only planet lying on its side. I'm Neptune, I'm cold, dark, windy and mysterious
I'm very stormy, so bring an umbrella - I'm serious. We're the planets in the Solar System. Different sizes for every one. The music never ends. We are such good friends and we all orbit the sun.

Solar System Myths
Myth #1. There billions of stars in our solar system. False: The sun is the only star in our solar system. It contains 99 percent of the mass of the solar system. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, and Earth is the fifth-largest.
Myth #2. Sun is not a star because it doesn’t shine at night. False: The Sun is the closest star to Earth and provides us with continues energy and light. Earth turns on its axis once every day. When we experience darkness, we are facing away from the Sun. When we experience daylight, we are facing the Sun. We can’t see other stars during the day because the Sun’s light illuminates Earth’s atmosphere.
Myth #3. Spacecraft can land on the surfaces of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. False: These giant planets are made mostly of gas. They may have solid cores, but the temperature and pressure of the gas would increase as the spacecraft moved toward the core. It would be destroyed before it reached that solid surface.
Myth #4. Earth is closer to the sun during our summer. False: Our summers are warm because the Earth tilts toward the sun.
Myth #5. The solar system is made up of only the Sun and eight planets. False: The solar system also contains natural satellites (the planets' moons), asteroids, and comets. Pluto is still part of the solar system but is considers an asteroid because it is too small.
Myth #6. Other stars and constellations are part of the solar system. False: There is only one star, the Sun, in the solar system. Besides the Sun, the solar system consists of planets, moons, asteroids, and comets. The solar system resides in the Milky Way galaxy. Many other stars are outside our solar system, but part of our Milky Way galaxy. About 50 billion galaxies are outside our galaxy. Galaxies contain from tens of millions to trillions of stars.
Myth #7. All the planets have seasons like summer, fall, winter, and spring. False: Only the planets that are tilted have seasons.Planets such as Mercury, Venus and Jupiter which have a tilt near zero or 180 degrees have no seasons. Planets such as Mars, Saturn and Neptune which have a tilt similar to that of the Earth have seasons similar to the Earth. Planets such as Uranus which have a tilt close to 90 degrees, so that they are rotating on their "side" and can have one pole or the other face the Sun for long periods of time, have extreme seasons.
