III.Read the passage and decide these following sentences are True or False orNS (Not stated).
People used to think that there were six planets moving in a circle around the Sun. Mercury was
the nearest to the Sun and Saturn was the furthest away. Most scientists knew that the Earth was
the third nearest planet to the Sun, between Venus and Mars, and that Jupiter was between Mars
and Saturn. We have now discovered that there are three more planets – Uranus, Pluto and
Neptune. These others are farther from the Sun, and Pluto is the farthest one.
From its time of discovery in 1930 Pluto was considered to be the ninth planet in solar system. In
2006 the IAU (International Astronomical Union) changed the definition of ‘planet’, so that Pluto is
not a planet, but the second largest dwarf planet in solar system. So there are eights planets, not
six or nine and the largest is in the middle of them, the fifth away from the Sun.
