      “My very educated mother just serves us noodles” – is a good way to remember the order of our planets: Mercury, Venys, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

      In the Solar System, we have the inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars), and the outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). In between these, we have an asteroid belt – lots of asteroids that orbit around the Sun! So that sits between Mars and Jupiter. If you mean for humans in space – we don’t know yet, getting to Mars is a long way off even! Let’s get back to the Moon first!
