In the vast expanse of cosmic dreams,

Where starlight gleams in endless streams,

A symphony of orbs in silent flight,

Our solar system dances in the night.

At the center, a fiery sun ablaze,

A golden heart, a luminous maze,

In its radiant, life-giving embrace,

Planets spin through boundless space.

First Mercury, a world of extremes,

With scorching days and icy dreams,

A rocky sentinel, so close to the sun,

In its harsh embrace, where life's undone.

Venus, the jewel of the morning sky,

Shrouded in clouds, a mystery high,

A cauldron of heat, a world untamed,

Where sultry secrets forever remain.

Earth, a gem of vibrant blue and green,

A cradle of life, where wonders are seen,

Oceans deep and mountains tall,

A precious home, a cherished thrall.

Mars, the red planet, dusty and dry,

A landscape marked by a blood-red sky,

With valleys deep and mountains tall,

It beckons to explorers, a future call.

Jupiter, a giant, king of the skies,

With swirling storms of colossal size,

A gas giant with a regal grace,

A tapestry of colors in endless space.

Saturn, a jewel with rings so bright,

A celestial wonder in the starry night,

A cosmic halo, a dance of grace,

Infinite beauty in a boundless space.

Uranus, a world of icy hue,

A sideways roll in a sapphire view,

Its rings and moons, a cosmic parade,

In the outer reaches of the solar cascade.

Neptune, the distant, azure gem,

In frigid depths, a watery realm,

Winds howl and storms do brew,

In this world of mystery, ever true.

Beyond, in the Kuiper Belt's domain,

Comets and dwarf planets, they reign,

A celestial carnival, a cosmic show,

In the solar system's grand tableau.

Each planet, moon, and shining star,

A testament to the cosmos, near and far,

In this wondrous system, we find our place,

Exploring the mysteries of outer space.
