World Almanac for Kids
This site provides facts about the nine planets that travel around the Sun and, all together, make up the Solar System. The site is informative and easy to understand. I like the "planetary dictionary" that defines terms you may need to know. It has a great diagram of our Solar System that you can click to get statistics. The planet fact sheets are also very helpful.Recommended by Terrence Cheromcka
