I have this thing about planets and dinosaurs; I feel like my knowledge of them peaked at age eight, and now I’m always trying to catch up. It confuses me that we lost Pluto. In any case, I was lying in bed last night, thinking of blogging (I have blog dreams you wouldn’t believe) and I thought I should post planet pictures and see if you visual folks can identify them by sight.
Because, I really could only get the most obvious ones. These images are all from NASA, and accompany the planet pages on Wikipedia. That seemed like the most basic place to find a representative planet portrait, but let me know if I am wrong.
OK- so this is actually a quiz. Be the first to match up the numbers with the letters correctly, and get a prize. Please don’t cheat, that’s lame.
Here are your planet choices, closest to farthest from the sun. Go!
1. Mercury
2. Venus
3. Earth
4. Mars
5. Jupiter
6. Saturn
7. Uranus
8. Neptune
