At certain times of the year and depends on where you live, we hope you will enjoy outside on sunny days and starry sky. After the long winter months there will be many opportunities to explore our outer world in relative comfort. If we look at the sky, most of us are surprised at its beauty, but have not an idea of ??what we want or less. So, if time permits, go out and to share in the vastness of the sky.

As a parent and child begin their journey into the solar system, remember, it should be fun. There could be as many stars in the sky you want to start simple and you build your way. Astronomy for children must not confusing or intimidating. It can just have fun and bonding!

Although the night sky imaged and extremely fascinating, but also complex. To generate long memory of conversations and moments to share with a few simple search for planets that start with the naked eye: Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn.

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The best opportunity to observe Mercury is when it is at its height in the sky. Mercury is sometimes visible in the evening. In this case, you can watch the sunset shortly after Mercury, but you have less than an hour, until the planet below the horizon. At other times Mercury is visible in the morning. You can use the mercury up to one hour before sunrise and can be seen, until the light of the rising sun, he observed drowns.

Venus is the second closest planet to the sun. Whenever Venus is visible, it is much brighter than anything in the sky except the Sun and the Moon.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun. If Mars is brilliant, it is bright red when it is weak, it is a pale pink (sometimes it can be difficult to see any color at all). Mars goes from dark to bright-light every two years.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is lost in the glare of the sun. Yet it is there, just on the other side of the Sun from the Earth and 580 million miles from Earth. She returned to look after the middle of January, in the morning sky.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun. Saturn is pale yellow to the naked eye. Although never as bright as the other planets disclosed, it is always clear if the location is found.

Mercury, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn are brighter than anything else, as Venus, the sun or moon, Sirius and Canopus.

Once you are identified and mapped to any evidence, research deeper. You may find that the night sky as much as your child have fun!
