FOUR RIDDLES

1)
Seven sons she has, this loving mother;
One is aloof, the other with a temper.
Four are gifted with rings of wonder,
The last, to his Mom, none is closer.

She also has two daughters,
Who gather like twins, close to each other;
We know one for her air and laughter,
Hot, dazzling and beautiful, the sister.

2. We're a family of ten. We all look alike. We live in an alley.
3. What's harder to break once it's been broken?
4. Five brothers sharing a common plate. What is it?

Answers:

1. The sun is the mother. Her seven sons are the planets Pluto (aloof), Mars (with a temper),
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, (all gifted with planetary rings), and Mercury (closest to the sun). The two daughters are Earth (air and laughter) and Venus (hot and beautiful). 

2. Bowling pins 
3. A record
4. Human hand
