Yes, but today all Mars water is frozen in the polar ice caps. Long ago, they may have been watering those channels. Those are moons? They look like potatoes with craters. As we came close to Mars, we passed its two moons, which are called fibrous and deimos, compared to our moon, they were tiny, and they weren't even round. Our next stop is Mars, the red planet, fall from the sun, announced the frieze, on our way, will be passing through the orbit of earth, the third planet. Miss frizzle said there might be volcanos around too. The air was so heavy we could feel it pressing down on us. There's no life on Venus class, is too hot. That's much harder than an oven baking cookies. The ground was covered with rocks, and it was hot. Below the clouds, Venus was as dry as it desert. We will be heavy heathen on the moon or mercury, because Venus has more gravity. We're gaining white, and we haven't even had lunch. We will now explore the surface of Venus, said miss frizzle.

Venus was completely covered by a thick, yet layer of yellow ish clouds. Before long we felt ourselves being pulled in by the gravity of Venus, the second planet from the sun. Thus because mercury is so close, too close, let's go. The sun looks twice as big here as it does from earth. There is no water and hardly any air, said the frieze, notice the craters on its surface as we pass by.

We will be seeing all the planets in order class, explain frizzy, mercury is the first one, the closest to the sun. She stayed around to the other side and pulled away. Soul flies a giant storms on the sun's surface. You should never drive a bus directly in the sun, either. You should never look directly at the sun children. We started to receive only in the daytime. Thank goodness, miss frizzle didn't get too close. Jets of super hot gases shot out at us from a surface. Is there a national bragging contest? We zoom toward the sun, the biggest brightest and hottest object in the solar system. So we got back on the bus, we'll start with the sun, the center of the solar system, said the frizz, and we blasted off. It was fun on the moon, we wanted to play, but miss frizzle said it was time to go. That's because the moon has less gravity than the earth. Meteorites are falling chunks of rock and metal. Miss frizzle said the crisis would have formed billions of years ago when the moon was hit by a meteorite. Always saw with dust and rock and lots and lots of craters. There was nowhere no water, no sun and glass. I think I have to go to the bathroom the first said our first stop would be the moon. Notice earth's blue oceans white clouds and brown land is beautiful. Far behind in the black scar, we saw the Planet Earth getting smaller and smaller. Look, it's a U of B a what? And identified flying banana. We were all dressed in spacesuits, and we were larger than feathers, we floated above our seats. When the roar of the rocket stopped, we looked around, everything had changed. I guess we'll be seeing the solar system after all. Children, we are going through the atmosphere. Oh, dear said miss frizzle, we seem to be blasting off, here we go again. The boss started tilting back, and we heard the roar of rockets. On the way back, as we was waiting at a red lock, something amazing happened. When we go to the planetarium it was closed for repairs, class this means we'll have to return to school, said the fruits we were so disappointed, back to school. When the earth spins beside rotates, the earth makes one complete rotation turn every 24 hours. It was just a short drive to the planetarium, but miss frizzle talked fast. As we were driving, miss frizza taught us all about how the earth spins like a top as it moves in its orbit. Who wants a tall school? As usual, it took a while to get the old bus started, but finally we were on our way. Moscow is told of a new school, our swings are better than your swings, more teachers weeded than your teacher. But Janet wasn't interested, she wanted to tell us about herself. We really did, as we got on the school bus, we told her that miss frizzle is the weirdest teacher in school. She's actually nice when you get to know her. My class went to the planetary last G what a show. I know all of you will be nice to our guests, said the frieze. Arnold's cousin Janet was visiting our class of the day. Class, and all that is the path of a planet or other object around the sun. We were going to the planetarium to see a scar show about the solar system. It was trip day again in miss frizzle's class, everyone was excited.
