Next, we have Venus, often called Earth’s twin. But it’s scorching hot! Consider using vibrant yellows, oranges, and reds to depict its fiery atmosphere. This planet’s coloring is a fantastic opportunity for discussing extreme weather.
Then comes our home, Earth! Show your love for our blue planet by using various shades of blue and green to represent the oceans and continents. Don’t forget to add some fluffy white clouds! Talk about protecting environment and our planet
Don’t forget Mars, the Red Planet. Use shades of red and orange to depict its rusty, dusty surface. It is known as the red planet because iron oxide (rust) on the surface gives it a reddish appearance. Fun to draw and color.
Jupiter, the giant of our solar system! Use shades of brown, orange, and white to create its swirling cloud bands and the famous Great Red Spot. Kids will enjoy using the multiple colors of the largest planet.
Saturn, known for its magnificent rings. Color the planet itself in yellows and browns, and then use different shades to bring its rings to life. Use light yellows or grays for the rings made of ice and rock particles.
Uranus and Neptune, the ice giants! Use shades of blue and green to represent their frigid atmospheres. These planets are further away from the Sun, so their colors can be softer and more muted.
