There are several Internet sites with information about the solar system and space. You should find out all you can about the planet you are researching. The links (blue underlined names) below are good places to start.

"Browse" means to read, look, study, and check it out. Click on buttons. Pay attention to what is on the screen. Look at the pictures. You do not have to read every word but if you don't read anything, you won't know anything.
