Across
  1. 3. I’m smaller than a moon and have a heart-shaped tomb, once a planet in line, now a dwarf’s design. What am I?
  2. 4. I spin on my side, so strange and unique, With rings that are faint, and a blue-green mystique. Cold winds whip around in my icy domain, What planet am I? Can you guess my name?
  3. 6. I am the largest of my kind, a giant in the sky, with a Great Red Spot that spins as I fly. My many moons dance around me, a magnificent sight, Who am I, the king of gas, glowing bright?
  4. 8. I’m the closest to the sun, a rocky little gem, With temperatures that soar and a nighttime that’s dim. No moons to call home, I’m small and I’m swift, What planet am I, can you guess this gift?
Down
  1. 1. I wear a crown of rings, so wide and grand, With storms that dance across my band. My swirling gases in colors bright, What am I, visible in the night?
  2. 2. I’m the brightest in the sky, though I’m not a star, Covered in clouds, it’s cold, not warm by far. Named after a goddess, of love and of grace, Which planet am I in this vast cosmic space?
  3. 5. I’m a planet so far, with winds that roar, my color's a mystery, but I'm called the blue door. What am I?
  4. 7. I’m the third from the sun, where life can thrive, With blue oceans and land, I’m alive! I have mountains and valleys, and creatures great and small, What am I that nurtures and supports us all?
  5. 8. I’m the fourth from the Sun, with a surface so bare, Red dust and canyons, I’m quite the affair. Though I’m cold and I’m dry, my moons number two, What am I?
