Hey Earth!
Hey Big J!
How are you?
Fantastic
Wow! Each time I see you, I remember just how big you are.
Is he big or are you little though?
Venus! I'm literally the same size as you!
Actually I'm a little bit bigger than you.
So you say...
No it's me that...
Anyway guys the reason I'm here is that I was told an amazing Solar System fact the other day.
What? That isn't bigger than me!
No, that The Earth's moon on average is nearly 239 000 miles away from The Earth.
Apparently you could fit all of the other Solar System planets in between
The earth and The moon.
It's a good thing you're smaller than me Venus.
Come on that was a good one.
So what are you thinking then Jupiter?
Well, why don't we try it?
We can get all the planets together and see if we can do it.
I'll go and get Saturn and Mars you guys get Uranus and Neptune.
Wait, what about Mercury?
Well, he is so close to The Sun, it's hard to get near him without burning up. I'm not sure I want to do it.
Yes very true and I can't lose all my water.
Fine I'll do it then!
Wow Venus. You're braver than I thought!
You're going to risk the fiery heat, that feeling of your very core being on fire.
As you get closer and closer. That never-ending burning that, well, will never ever end.
Yes, those unforgiving sun rays, burning away all your clouds, one at a time!
As you approach the centre of our Solar System!
Oh Venus! That's too risky. No! I'll...I'll...
You'll what?
Okay, I'll miss you.
Well we need Mercury and I'm the gal for the job.
No matter what danger awaits! I will face them head-on!
Goodbye dear friend!
Goodbye? I'm just gonna call him on his new phone.
Hey Merc it's Ve here.
Can you meet us near Earth? So we can test something out.
Yes that's right, the SMALL blue planet.
Okay, send my love to The Sun. Cheerio.
What?
Oh Venus. I'll miss you more than anything.
You're my favourite planet and I love you the most in the universe!
I never said any of that.
That's what I remember.
Well, just remember I'm bigger than you!
Watch out for the asteroid.
Hey Uranus! How are you today?
I'm very happy today.
Are you?
Yes, I haven't stopped smiling since I woke up.
Well you might want to tell your face.
Pardon?
I like what you've done with your place.
Oh...thank you.
Anyway we were wondering if you could do us a favour please?
You want me to tell you one of my hilarious jokes?
Uh no, maybe later. We want to do an experiment.
How big are you Uranus?
Well I am over 50,000 kilometres in diameter.
Perfect. Can you meet this near Earth's Moon please?
You can't miss it, it's bigger than Venus! Haha! High five?
No it's not!
Well okay then. I have to go and cheer up some dwarf planets first, but then I'll be straight over.
Does he think he's funny?
What did you say?
don't you think it's sunny?
Well yes, yes it is.
How do you do that so quick?
Practice.
S...Saturn? Is it you?
Yes dude.
Where's your rings?
Just playing catch.
Catch?
Whoa, neat. I wish I had rings as big as yours.
Try it!
Wow they do look good.
They do dude, they do!
Give me another one Earth.
What do you say to a rabbit on its birthday?
I don't know.
Hoppy birthday!
Haha! That is good.
Oh hey Saturn.
Hey Satur...
Could you meet us near Earth's Moon soon please Saturn?
Sure!
How big are you Saturn? #
Well, I'm over 116,000 kilometres in diameter dude.
Brilliant. Okay catch you later.
Hey Jupiter dude?

I spy with my little eye something beginning with S.
That's easier Earth. Space.
No! S for small Venus.
Oh I am on form today!
You'll be on my naughty list soon.
Well you'll be on my...
What? Do they wait for me or something?
Watch out for the asteroid.
Wait! Who goes there?
Hey Neptune it's only us.
Yeah calm down. What's wrong?
Well Uranus has been over here again trying to tell me more of his jokes.
Are they funny?
They are not!
Being the windiest planet in The Solar System, he tried telling me that my favourite day of the week was a Winds-Day.
Ha! A Winds-Day! Brilliant!
Uranus! No! See he makes me so cross with him!
Never mind. It will all 'blow' over soon.
Bl...blow. Because of the wind...
Do you want me to be cross with you too?
Leave it pal.
Anyway Nep. We were wondering if you can meet us near Earth's Moon? We're trying out an experiment.
Oh sounds exciting!
How big are you Neptune?
I am nearly 50,000 kilometres in diameter.
Excellent. Um, we need to get back quickly and we are near the end of The Solar System.
Can you help us out please Neptune?
Sure, get ready!
thank you
#My name is Mars, I'm rocky and I'm red!
#My surface is dusty...
Oh! Yo Jupiter, yo Saturn. How are you?
That's some good rapping Mars.
Who are you rapping for?
Me.
Oh. Anyway, do you mind coming with us to help us out?
Hey Mars dude. You look cool with my rings on.
What rings?
Oh, yes, I'll help out.
How big are you Mars dude?
Well I'm over 6,700 kilometres in diameter.
Come on then Mars!
Yes come on Mars dude. Bring my rings with you please.
Okay, okay guys. Welcome.
Why are we here?
I'm glad you asked, my windy friend.
That's me!
We were told that you could fit all of you planets
...between the average distance between me and my moon.
Wow! What! I knew it!
Venus?
See here's Earth and here is The Moon.
384,000 kilometres away.
Three circles are us guys. We've got to line up and see if it's true!
Thank you Ve...
And this is a diagram of Earth and I.
Note the BIG difference in size!
Venus! We're about the same....why do I bother?
Anyway! Shall we start?
Okay first in...Venus.
Same size!
Mars, can you go?
Here we go!
Mercury.
Next up, Neptune.
Hey guys!
Next up, Planet Uranus.
What do you call a....
Don't!
Uh, oh it's me next!
He's so big he's going to take all the space up!
um
Nearly there...
There we go! What?
Lastly, it's me dudes!
huh hmm
Hold on...
Budge up everyone!
Hey stop pushing!
Whoa calm it down!
Stop that!
Oh well, it can't be done!
Oh man!
Wait, wait, wait. Don't you see? It can be done!
Look at Saturn. He is much wider than he is tall.
He is almost like a squashed ball.
Just turn sideways a bit.
Wow! It works!
Alright! Well done Uranus!
Now, can I tell you all a fantastic joke?
No!!
