Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.Venus has no moons.Earth has air.Mars is made of dust.Jupiter is the biggest planet.satrun has rings.Urans is a cold planet.Neptune is made of water.
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and due to its proximity it is not easily seen except during twilight. For every two orbits of the Sun, Mercury completes three rotations about its axis and up until 1965 it was thought that the same side of Mercury constantly faced the Sun. Thirteen times a century Mercury can be observed from the Earth passing across the face of the Sun in an event called a transit, the next will occur on the 9th May 2016.Mass: 330,104,000,000,000 billion kg (0.055 x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 4,879 Polar Diameter: 4,879 Equatorial Circumference: 15,329 km Known Moons: none Notable Moons: none Orbit Distance: 57,909,227 km (0.39 AU) Orbit Period: 87.97 Earth days Surface Temperature: -173 to 427°C First Record: 14th century BC Recorded By: Assyrian astronomers
Venus is the second planet from the Sun and is the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon. Named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty, Venus is the second largest terrestrial planet and is sometimes referred to as the Earth’s sister planet due the their similar size and mass. The surface of the planet is obscured by an opaque layer of clouds made up of sulfuric acid.
Mass: 4,867,320,000,000,000 billion kg (0.815 x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 12,104 km Polar Diameter: 12,104 km Equatorial Circumference: 38,025 km Known Moons: none Notable Moons: none Orbit Distance: 108,209,475 km (0.73 AU) Orbit Period: 224.70 Earth days Surface Temperature: 462 °C First Record: 17th century BC Recorded By: Babylonian astronomers
Earth Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets. Unlike the other planets in the solar system that are named after classic deities the Earth’s name comes from the Anglo-Saxon word erda which means ground or soil. The Earth was formed approximately 4.54 billion years ago and is the only known planet to support life. Mass: 5,972,190,000,000,000 billion kg Equatorial Diameter: 12,756 km Polar Diameter: 12,714 km Equatorial Circumference: 40,030 km Known Moons: 1 Notable Moons: The Moon Orbit Distance: 149,598,262 km (1 AU) Orbit Period: 365.26 Earth days Surface Temperature: -88 to 58°C
Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun. Named after the Roman god of war, and often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance. Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. Mass: 641,693,000,000,000 billion kg (0.107 x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 6,805 Polar Diameter: 6,755 Equatorial Circumference: 21,297 km Known Moons: 2 Notable Moons: Phobos & Deimos Orbit Distance: 227,943,824 km (1.38 AU) Orbit Period: 686.98 Earth days (1.88 Earth years) Surface Temperature: -87 to -5 °C First Record: 2nd millennium BC Recorded By: Egyptian astronomers
Jupiter The planet Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the Sun, and is two and a half times more massive than all the other planets in the solar system combined. It is made primarily of gases and is therefore known as a “gas giant”. Mass: 1,898,130,000,000,000,000 billion kg (317.83 x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 142,984 km Polar Diameter: 133,709 km Equatorial Circumference: 439,264 km Known Moons: 67 Notable Moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, & Callisto Known Rings: 4 Orbit Distance: 778,340,821 km (5.20 AU) Orbit Period: 4,332.82 Earth days (11.86 Earth years) Surface Temperature: -108°C First Record: 7th or 8th century BC Recorded By: Babylonian astronomers
Saturn Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the most distant that can be seen with the naked eye. It is best known for its fabulous ring system that was discovered in 1610 by the astronomer Galileo Galilei. Mass: 568,319,000,000,000,000 billion kg (95.16 x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 120,536 km Polar Diameter: 108,728 km Equatorial Circumference: 365,882 km Known Moons: 62 Notable Moons: Titan, Rhea & Enceladus Known Rings: 30+ (7 Groups) Orbit Distance: 1,426,666,422 km (9.58 AU) Orbit Period: 10,755.70 Earth days (29.45 Earth years) Surface Temperature: -139 °C First Record: 8th century BC Recorded By: Assyrians
Uranus Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It’s not visible to the naked eye, and became the first planet discovered with the use of a telescope. Uranus is tipped over on its side with an axial tilt of 98 degrees. It is often described as “rolling around the Sun on its side.” Mass: 86,810,300,000,000,000 billion kg (14.536 x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 51,118 km Polar Diameter: 49,946 km Equatorial Circumference: 159,354 km Known Moons: 27 Notable Moons: Oberon, Titania, Miranda, Ariel & Umbriel Known Rings: 13 Orbit Distance: 2,870,658,186 km (19.22 AU) Orbit Period: 30,687.15 Earth days (84.02 Earth years) Surface Temperature: -197 °C Discover Date: March 13th 1781 Discovered By: William Herschel
Neptune Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and is the most distant planet from the Sun. This gas giant planet may have formed much closer to the Sun in early solar system history before migrating to its present position. Mass: 102,410,000,000,000,000 billion kg (17.15x Earth) Equatorial Diameter: 49,528 km Polar Diameter: 48,682 km Equatorial Circumference: 155,600 km Known Moons: 14 Notable Moons: Triton Known Rings: 5 Orbit Distance: 4,498,396,441 km (30.10 AU) Orbit Period: 60,190.03 Earth days (164.79 Earth years) Surface Temperature: -201 °C Discover Date: September 23rd 1846 Discovered By: Urbain Le Verrier & Johann Galle
