The Solar System Song

A song about the solar system for very young children. Lyrics are included below. Permission is granted to use this song for educational purposes.
The sun is the center of our Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
The sun is the center of our Solar system,
The Planets orbit round it.

Mercurys a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
Its closest to the sun and has no air,
and orbits round the Sun.

Venus is a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
Venus is hot with poison clouds,
and orbits round the Sun.

Earth is a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
Earth is our home. Its a comfy planet.
and orbits round the Sun.

Mars is a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
Mars is red with a big volcano,
and orbits round the sun.

Jupiters a planet the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
It has a red spot and lots of moons,
and orbits round the Sun.

Saturn is a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
Ice and dust form rings around it,
and orbits round the Sun.

Uranus is a planet in the Solar System,
Solar system, Solar system.
Uranus is green and tipped on its side,
and orbits round the Sun.

Neptune is a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
It has the fastest winds in the Solar system,
and orbits round the Sun.

Pluto is a planet in the Solar system,
Solar system, Solar system.
Pluto is the tiniest planet of them all,
and orbits round the Sun.

REPEAT FIRST VERSE

the video says we move in a circular motion. Don't we move in an egg shaped elipcical orbit?

[sciencebabe]

@westbelfast100 Yes, very slightly off from circular. It's not an extreme egg shape.Since this was done for children, we kept it simple to focus on the concept.

9 planets? It's eight, without Pluto.... Pluto's a Dwarf Planet

@MissCosmicDanceGirl , yep it sure is. This song (and about every book about the solar system available) is out of date!

Pluto was stripped of its planet status and reclassified as a dwarf planet. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) currently recognises two other dwarf planets, Eris and Ceres.

Great song. You should post it on klablab.com which is a new free site for teachers and students. Our goal is to make learning fun!
