1. EARTH is talking about a planet. 'The only good thing I can say about him is that he isn't as dense as the other planets.' Which brother is Earth talking about?

Saturn is the least dense of the planets. Its specific gravity (0.7) is less than that of water.

2. MOON speaking about a certain lady in the Solar System. 'She is so hot!!' Who has got the Moon's attention?

Answer: Venus

Venus suffers from a run-away greenhouse effect which makes her surface hotter than that of Mercury despite being almost twice as far away from the Sun.

3. EARTH about a moon. 'He is the biggest of all the Solar System kids.' Which moon is Earth referring to?

Answer: Ganymede

It was long thought that Titan was the largest satellite but newer observations showed that it is slightly smaller than Ganymede.

Answer: Mercury and Venus

Mercury and Venus are the only planets not to have any moons.

9. EARTH about a moon 'She is a somewhat eccentric girl. Sometimes she is close to her father, at other times quite distant.' Who is Earth referring to?

Nereid's orbit is the most eccentric of any planet or satellite in the solar system. Her distance from Neptune varies from 1,353,600 to 9,623,700 kilometers.

10. MOON about a planet. 'He would be OK if it wasn't for his unusual position.' Who is Moon talking about?

Answer: Uranus

Uranus is distinguished by the fact that it is tipped on its side. This is thought to be the result of a collision with a planet-sized body early in the planet's history.
