Jupiter

Lets start with a space joke.

Why was every planet concerned when they saw Jupiter at the space party?

Because it had a big red spot.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from sun. It is more than a thousand times bigger than planet earth. It is also a very colorful planet. The red spot that we see in Jupiter is a big storm. Jupiter's clouds make bright stripes across the planet. Jupiter has 5 moons.

Lets draw Jupiter.

• Write a big O and two small O one on each side.  Write a flat O inside this big O to make our red spot.
• Write a lot of crooked sleeping Is and sleeping Ys inside this O.
• Color it with bright yellow, orange, red, brown , tan.
• Color its moon with grey.

Jupiter is ready for our space party.

Earth

Why did every one envy Earth in the Space Party?

because it was full of LIFE. :-)

We live in planet Earth, the third planet from sun and the only planet in the solar system that is know to have life. It looks like a blue and green ball from space.

Lets draw our planet Earth.

• Start by writing O and then write another small O on one side of the planet.
• Start making land. Write 3 on left side of earth and w on the top side of O.
• Lets make the continent now. Start by writing M and L as in the picture.

• Now write 3 starting at the free end of 3 and then write a bent V. Our North America and Canada are almost done. We draw panama canal by writing 11.
• We then write 3 to make one side of South American Continent. We write turned around 7. Our South American Continent is now done.
• Color !

Our pretty planet is all done.

Shooting Star

Coming soon

Pluto

Our planet joke first.

Why was Pluto not happy in the Space Party?

Because the other planets teased it as it was a dwarf planet.

Pluto is the ninth planet in our solar system. It is very different from the other planets. It is not a gas 

giant or a rocky planet. Instead it is mostly made of ice and since it is so far from the sun it is always very cold.

Pluto is a very small planet. In fact some moons around other planets are bigger than Pluto.

Lets draw Pluto now.

• We write a big O. We then write number 9 on one side and then fill O with lots of crooked i and distorted Os.
• Color with brown, tan , cream.

Pluto is ready to spin!

Fun Fact:

Pluto was named after the Roman God of underworld.

Uranus

Another space joke.

Why did the planet laugh when Uranus joined the space party?

Because Uranus was spinning the wrong way. :-)

Uranus is seventh planet from the sun and it has its north pole and south pole alternatively towards the sun unlike the other planets. It has more than 20 moons traveling around it , five of them are large and other are small.

Lets draw Uranus now.

Coming soon

Neptune

Another space joke first.


Why did all the planets shiver when Neptune came to the Space party?
Because it was full of storms. :-)


Neptune, the eighth planet from sun is the stormiest planet. One storm on Neptune had winds that blew upto 1200 miles per hour. Neptune has eight moons and it has a lot of incomplete rings that bare better called arcs around it.


Lets draw Neptune.

• Write a sleeping I , then upside down U on top and C at the ends.
• Write another set of C on both ends of semi circle and join its ends with sleeping I.
• Write U at the bottom to finish our planet.

• Write a lot of sleeping Is inside this planet and then color it shades of  blue , teal and grey.
• Our planet is ready.

Fun Fact
Neptune is named after Roman Sea God.

Saturn

Lets start with another joke.


What did Saturn come with to the space party?
Lots of pretty bright rings. :-)


Saturn is the second largest planet. It has lots of rings around its middle. These rings are made of ice and rock. Saturn is the only planet that can be seen from earth with unaided eyes. This planet has lots of moon- 30 moons. One of Saturn's moon is called Titan.
Lets draw Saturn now.

• Start by writing a sleeping I and then an upside down U over it to make it a semi circle.
• Now write three C on either side as in second picture.
• Join free ends of C with bent Is.
• Now write a big U in the bottom same size as the upper one to complete making our planet.
• We then write a lot of sleeping Is inside our planet.
• We make Saturn's moon by writing O near its rings.

 

• Color and Saturn is all ready for our space party too.

Fun Fact
Saturn is named after Roman God of agriculture.

Mars

Why did everyone started getting hungry once they saw Mars?

Because Mars looked like a big cookie. :-)

Mars, the forth planet from sun.Mars looks like a red ball. It has a dry red soil. Some people think Mars may have water long long ago.

Lets draw Mars now.

• Start by writing a big O.
• Fill this O with lots of small O, some big ones and some small ones. Write Cs inside some of the Os.
• Color and our planet is ready to spin.

Venus

Why could planets not see Venus in the Space Party?

Because it was covered with clouds. :-)

Venus is the second planet from sun and the prettiest planet in the solar system. It is very cloudy. The clouds are so thick that you cannot see it's ground. That makes Venus look very beautiful, but beware the clouds are made from poisonous gases.

Lets draw Venus now.

• We begin by writing O.
• We then write sleeping Y and crooked sleeping Is inside this O.
• Color it with shades of blue , grey and purple . Our pretty planet is ready.

 

Mercury

What did mercury wear to the space party?
A dress with polka dots. :-)


Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. It is a rocky planet and looks like if it is covered with polka dots. The side that faces sun is burning hot and the other side of mercury is freezing cold.
Lets draw mercury now.

• Start by writing sleeping I. Then write upside down U on top of it making it a semicircle(half circle).
• Write two C on either side of this semicircle and join end of these C with another sleeping I.

• Now we write a number of C and U  and O to make our polka dots for mercury.
• Color and our mercury is ready to spin.
