Earth is the third closest planet to the Sun in the Solar System. It's the only planet whose English names, the World or the Earth, don't come from Roman or Greek mythology English and Germanic but from Old It is also referred to as the Blue Planet, or the Blue Marble because it's the only planet that has water in liquid form on the surface. In fact, seventy-one per cent of Earth's surface is covered with water, which is vital for all known forms of life. Earth is the only planet that is capable of hosting any known form of life. It is home to millions of species of plants and animals, including a global population of humans. Life on Earth is supported and nourished by its biosphere and minerals.

Our sun is actually an orange, dwarf star. Although it is not nearly the ........(hot) star known, its surface temperature is about 10,000'F and that of its interior is thought to be in the range of 20,000,000'F. We ........... (common) think of the sun as burning, yet it's too hot to burn and is composed of elemental gases.
The sun is 865,000 miles in diameter and has a mass one-third of a million times ..........(great) than the Earth's. Scientists believe that it's two billion years old and, instead of cooling, is still getting hotter. Perhaps, within the next two billion years, it will reach a temperature of sufficient intensity to destroy the Earth.
The sun's corona is almost as hot as interior. Solar prominences-tongues of hot gas-leap outward a half million miles from the sun's surface at speeds reaching 250,000 miles an hour. ...........

VI. Read the text and classify the following statements.
There are eight other planets that travel around the sun. These planets, in order, include Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Earth is located between Venus and Mars. The path the planets use when traveling around the sun is oval-shaped and is called its orbit. Each of the planets in the solar system take a different amount of time to orbit the Sun.
Earth takes 365 days or one year to orbit the Sun. The other planets take more or less time to orbit the Sun. It takes Mercury 88 days to travel around the Sun, which is the shortest orbit time compared to other planets. The planet taking the longest time to go around the Sun is Neptune. It takes Neptune almost 165 years to travel around the Sun.
Normally, planets located closer to the sun are hotter than planets farther away. Mercury is the planet nearest the sun, and it can have a temperature of 427°C– much hotter than an oven. Venus is not the planet nearest the sun, but it is the hottest, because it has thick clouds. These clouds let the sun’s heat in, but do not let it out. The temperature on Venus can be 460°C.
The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are made of rock containing many different minerals. The four outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are mostly made up of different gases. Jupiter is made mainly of helium, hydrogen, and water. The four outer planets also have rings that encircle them, with Saturn having the most rings.
Other objects in space include the moons of these six planets. A moon is a celestial object (object in space) that orbits another body in space. There are approximately 173 moons throughout the solar system. Earth has a single moon, Mercury and Venus have none, and the planet with the most moons is Jupiter with 63. Not far behind Jupiter is Saturn with 62 moons.Mars has 2 moons named Phobos and Deimos.
Classify the following statements (1-12) as they relate to the given planets. Write the names of the planet next to the statements.
Mercury | Earth | Jupiter | Uranus |
Venus | Mars | Saturn | Neptune |
