Coding Task: 06.04 Your Solar System

The Solar System refers to our neighbourhood of space; the planetary system formed by the Sun, the Earth and all the other planets you’re probably familiar with. There are 8 planets, 4 dwarf planets and over 200 moons in the Solar System, as well as many other celestial objects.

Your Task

In the editor below, write a program that asks the user to type in the name of their favourite planet (all lowercase) and then, depending on what they typed, display at least one the following facts:

You can research your own facts on the official NASA website if you want!

Requirements

• The program should run without any errors.
• The program should ask the user to enter a planet or other celestial body in our Solar System. If the user types a planet the program recognises, it should print out a relevant fact about that planet, either from the table above or from your own research. The program should loop unless the user types quit.
• Hint: You’ll have to use label and goto to create the loop. You can name your label whatever you want, but make sure your goto statement is exactly the same!
