A  planet  is  a  body  in  space  that  revolves  around  a  star.  There  are  nine  planets  in  our  solar

system,  and  these  nine  planets  travel  around  the  sun.  The names  of  the  planets  are Mercury,

Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.

          Planets  travel  in  orbits around  the  stars.  All  of  the planets  of the  solar  system  revolve  in

elliptical  orbits.  In  other  words,  their  orbits  are  like  large,  flat  circles.  The  time  that  it  takes  a

planet to make one revolution around the sun is called a year.

          The Greeks were the first people to recognize and give names to some of the planets . Tile

word  planet comes from  a Greek word meaning  wanderer  If  a  person wanders, this means  that

he goes from one place  to another and does not have  a home. The  Greeks thought that planets

"wandered" in the sky. However, modern scientists can predict the movement of the planets  very

accurately.

         There are millions of plants  and animals living in the sea. Most of the plants and animals

living in the oceans are extremely small and float near the surface of the water in their

thousands. They are food for huge numbers of small animals that also live near the surface.

Together, they are all known as plankton.

          Many fish feed on this plankton, including one of the larges t, the whale s hark. Despite

their great s ize, certain whales live entirely on plankton.

          The blue whale is the largest animal ever to live. It grows  to a length of over 100 feet. The

humpback whale is a smaller kind and has long flippers. It can jump right out the water. The

Californian grey whale makes long migrations every year - it spends the summer feeding in the

Arctic but swims south to the warmer waters off the coast of Mexico in the winter. The females

give birth in the shallow, warm water there.

          Many of the fish in the sea may be eaten by other meat-eaters. Shark s, for example, area

some of the fastest hunters, although not all of them eat other fish.

          Deep down in the oceans live many strange fish. It is so dark  down there that many of

these fish have "light" on them, whic h are used for attracting smaller fish for the larger ones to

eat.

          Jellyfish are peculiar-looking creatures ranging in size from a fraction of an inch to 6 feet

across. They don't really s wim but drift in the currents of the open oceans. Although they contain

a powerful sting, they are often eaten by turtles . Turtles are reptiles that spend most of their

eggs on sandy beaches.
