By Leah Jardine-Thompson After the Sun, our Moon is the biggest brightest object in the sky. It is 25,000 times brighter than the brightest star, so bright you can see it in daylight. Yet the Moon does not make any light itself it just reflects light from the sun. Neil Armstrong was the first man on the moon in 1969. Some say that the first man on the Moon was a fake. From my experience of watching a documentary I'm a little bit convinced my self. Size (diameter): Distance from Earth: ,000 km Day (rotation): Time to orbit Earth: Full Moon to Full Moon: Temperature: 2,156 miles/3,470 km 238,600 miles/384 27 days, 8 hours 27 days,8 hours 29 days, 12 hours Day 107 dc Night-153 dc We think our Earth is a pretty important planet, but in fact we live on a piece of dirt. Our Solar System is really just the sun with a few pieces left over, and we live on one of those pieces .

It is a small, rocky world and, like our Moon it’s covered in craters. Space rocks crashing into Mercury long ago made these craters.

In size Venus is like Earth. A day on Venus is 243 Earth days.

It’s certainly the world most visited by robot spacecraft. Although it’s smaller and cooler than Earth ,Mars might just be warm enough for life.

All the other planets in the solar system could fit inside Jupiter and there would still be room to spare, and it could swallow 1,300 Earths.
