How many planets are there inside our skies?A question that we all would like to realise,We know that there's one star that's shining bright,Around it, other eight planets revolve and delight.Mercury is closest to the sun, it's oh so hot,Venus follows with a thick atmosphere, it's quite the spot,Earth is the one we call home, it's the place to be,Mars is red and dusty, although it's still so dreamy.Jupiter is the biggest, with giant storms and moons,Saturn's rings are beautiful, like cosmic silver spoons,Uranus and Neptune are way out there, it's true,Together, they complete the planets in our view.So now we know the answer to the question asked,Eight planets spin around the sun, it's quite a cast,Now we can gaze up and marvel at the sight,Of all the stars and planets shining bright.
