1) Red planet- Mars(It is red because the soil looks like rusty iron)
2) Blue planet- Neptune( A small amount of the gas methane makes Neptune appear blue.)
3) Coldest planet- Uranus (The gases are slightly frozen on Uranus and therefore called as ICE GIANT.)

asteroids or shattered moons.)

The phases of the moon are the changes in the amount of the surface of the
moon that are lit up over the course of a month, as viewed from earth. And,
the light we see coming from the moon isn’t moonlight at all — it's sunlight!
The moon does not emit any light itself. The Sun’s light is reflected from the
surface of the Moon to us. Because the positions of the Earth, Moon, and
Sun vary throughout the course of the month, the amount of the moon’s
surface that we can see changes a little bit every night.
