Jaryl's Drawing - 9 Planets

A house and 9 Planets above it


Last night, Jaryl started his board drawing and Mary Jean (name of our maid) was asked to join him. Here's their 'masterpiece'..... If you were to realised there are ten planets instead of nine in the drawing. Therefore, I did found out the order of planets is based on distances from the Sun. Moreover, I had read that astronomers have demoted Pluto so there are now only eight planets.

If you are interested to know more about 9 Planets, there are some useful websites for you.
