Lily found herself floating in space, surrounded by planets of different sizes and colors. The first planet she visited was Mercury, the closest planet to the sun. It was so hot that she had to put on a special suit to protect herself.

Lily's next stop was Mars, the red planet. She imagined what it would be like to live on Mars and tried to find signs of life. Even though she didn't find any aliens, she discovered that Mars has the tallest volcano and deepest canyon in the solar system.

Jupiter, the largest planet in the solar system, was next on Lily's adventure. It had a swirling storm called the Great Red Spot, which fascinated her. Lily wondered why Jupiter had such a huge storm and if it ever went away.

Saturn, with its beautiful rings, amazed Lily. She thought it looked like a giant hula hoop in the sky. Lily tried to imagine what it would be like to jump through the rings and explore the other side.
