Jez raised her hand again. "The planets in our solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto is now classed as a dwarf planet." No, Jez didn't feel sorry for Pluto. It was a planet, a far-off ball of rock that didn't support life. No biggie. "Most of the planets are named after Roman gods, such as Venus, goddess of love, or Mars, god of warfare." Just some background info there.
