10 worlds to read about at three levels

Every one of these is ours: Peabody's world pages, written at Little, Middle and Big levels with NASA's numbers. Ordered out from the Sun.

How it's ordered: Ours, from the Sun outward; Pluto is the eleventh and sits just past this list.

☀️ Sun (ours) · Ours. The Sun spins too: about once every 25 days near its middle, slower near its poles.
🪨 Mercury (ours) · Ours. A day on Mercury lasts longer than its year.
🌕 Venus (ours) · Ours. On Venus the Sun would rise in the west.
🌍 Earth (ours) · Ours. From space, Earth looks blue because oceans cover most of it.
🌙 Moon (ours) · Ours. Footprints on the Moon can last millions of years, because there is no wind to blow them away.
🔴 Mars (ours) · Ours. Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, both lumpy like potatoes.
🟠 Jupiter (ours) · Ours. Jupiter spins so fast that its middle bulges out.
🪐 Saturn (ours) · Ours. Saturn would float in water, if you could find a bathtub big enough.
🔵 Uranus (ours) · Ours. One season on Uranus lasts about 21 Earth years.
🌀 Neptune (ours) · Ours. Neptune was found with math before anyone saw it.

Rows marked Ours are Peabody's own pages and tools. We list them because they fit, and we say so.
