The PLANET Song
LYRICS
Twinkle Twinkle little star,
tell me how many planets there are
FIRST comes MERCURY small and fast,
it’s surface is covered with meteorite blasts
TWO is VENUS cloudy and hot,
it has some volcanoes, I almost forgot
THREE is EARTH home to animals and plants,
home to you your mom and your aunts
FOUR is our neighbour MARS,
home to robots and chocolate bars
FIVE is giant JUPITER
it has a great red storm that’s always been there
SIX is pretty SATURN with it’s rings,
made of ice and dust and other things
SEVEN is planet URANUS,
spinnig on it’s side like a platypus
EIGHT is NEPTUNE far and cold,
it is blue and white, so I was told
NINE is a secret planet no one’s seen,
but scientists have calculated where it has been
We all orbit our STAR we call the SUN,
spinnig all around, oh what fun

it's rings are on on average only 10m thick.
The gaps are caused by small moonlets that are swiping up ice particles on their orbit.
