PPPFFFTTT!

“Now for something a bit more difficult” says André. “Astronauts have to learn which planets orbit our sun.” He points at the planets on the ceiling.

“Which ones do you know?”

Scarlett jumps up. “I know them all, I just don’t know which order they’re in.”

“I’ll help you,” says André.

“Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars… …Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.”

“And that’s the dwarf planet, Pluto,” Scarlett says. She points at the small planet that is furthest from the sun.

“Well done!” says André. “But... where’s the moon?”

“I’m not falling for that,” Scarlett grins. “The moon isn’t a planet! The moon belongs to our Earth!”

André walks over to the globe in the corner of his room. He places his hand on it and spins the globe around.

“This,” he says, “is our Earth. It’s not only beautiful, but also very special. It hangs up there in the dark universe like a bright, blue orb.

Scarlett springs up. “The blue parts are all water, right?” she asks.

“That’s right,” André says. “Without water, we wouldn’t be able to survive here.” André points to the green and brown parts on the globe. “These parts are land, where all of the people on Earth live,” he says.

“Where do we live?” Scarlett asks. André points to where they are. “I’d like to learn where all the different countries are,” says Scarlett “When I’m up in the rocket and look down at Earth, I know exactly where I am!” André says.
