Reply To: Module 2 – The Moon, the Earth and the Sun

Thanks for sharing these captioned videos of solar system songs. I think with your actions from the Planet activity you could discuss with the children if the planets ever do line up on one side of the Sun as implied in the video.

When planets do line up it is referred to as a conjunction. Conjunctions of 2 planets are reasonably common, three or more quite unusual. Mars and Jupiter will be in conjunction in August in the morning sky.
