Planets - Months

 


MERCURY - January

VENUS - February

MARS - March

EARTH - April

MOON - May

JUPITER - June - July

SATURN - August - September

URANUS - October

NEPTUNE - November

PLUTO - December

 

EARTH is APRIL and MARS is MARCH

Some people may think that should be the other way round, Earth being the third planet and March being the third month, with Mars and April being fourth

This is not based on just the order of the months and planets

Mars and March sound alike of course

Mars is where life has not started, it may never start, or it may go on to realise it’s potential

On Earth Life has flourished

April is the month were Winter is over and New Life literally Springs

Earth is the Spring of the Solar System

 

The MOON is MAY

Closer than Mars, though smaller

And Mars has it’s own two mis shapen moons

 

JUPITER is SUMMER, both JUNE and JULY

Jupiter, June, July

The Season where the Sun rules the sky, the air is hot

Jupiter, almost a sun in it’s own right

Orbitting satellite systems like mini solar systems

 

Some of Jupiter’s larger satellites are the size of Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and the Moon

 

SATURN is AUGUST and SEPTEMBER

The further planet that could be seen at one time, believed to be the edge of the Solar System

Like Jupiter, with a series of huge moons and smaller moons some the size of the smaller planets

The end of SUMMER and the beginning of AUTUMN

It’s huge distinctive rings

 

 

URANUS is OCTOBER

 

NEPTUNE is NOVEMBER

 

DECEMBER is PLUTO

The coldest and furthest place from the Sun

Named after the God of the Underworld

 

 

MERCURY is JANUARY

Small, fast, young

 

VENUS is FEBRUARY
