Tell me about other people's planets

Tonight before bed you asked me to "Tell me about other people's planets." You have been asking a lot about the sun and outer space lately. You are so curious! I think there are only 8 official planets now. Scientists kicked Pluto out several years ago. Don't ask me why! I've started to teach you the planet song I learned in second grade from Mrs. Gartner, my teacher who drew her eyebrows on and taught me cursive. Anyway, the song goes like this:
Mercury, Venus, the earth and Mars
These are the planets that dwell near the stars
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus, too
Neptune and Pluto,
I know them do you?

I guess we'll have to change the end to that one...
