MERCURY
THE CLOSEST PLANET TO
THE SUN YET COLDER
THAN VENUS. THE
ATMOSPHERE OF
MERCURY IS VERY THIN.
IT HAS A BEIGE STRIPE
WITH NO CRATERS THAT
LOOKS LIKE A DESERT,
BUT I DO NOT KNOW
ANYONE THAT KNOWS
WHAT IT IS. IT ALSO HAS
A SMALL CIRCULAR
AREA.
VENUS
2ND FROM THE SUN, BUT
THE HOTTEST PLANET.
IT HAS GAS THAT MAKES
IT THE HOTTEST PLANET.
VENUS, ONCE A TWIN OF
EARTH, IS NOW DEVOID
OF WATER. (DEVOID
MEANS DOES NOT HAVE)
VENUS AND EARTH HAVE
ABOUT THE SAME
AMOUNT OF CARBON
DIOXIDE (CO2).
VENUS
4.5 MILLION YEARS AGO,
VENUS AND EARTH WERE
NEARLY THE SAME SIZE.
IT HAS STRANGE MARKS
ALL OVER IT: SOME LIKE
LIGHTNING BOLTS, SOME
LIKE SUN SPOTS. VENUS
LOOKS YELLOW
BECAUSE THE CLOUDS
ARE MADE OF SULPHUR
CRYSTALS AND SULPHUR
IS YELLOW.
EARTH
3RD FROM SUN IS THE
PERFECT PLACE FOR
OUR PLANET. EARTH IS
OUR HOME PLANET.
IT HAS A MAGNETIC FIELD
AROUND IT THAT
PROTECTS IT FROM THE
SOLAR WIND.
THERE ARE ABOUT 6-9
ATMOSPHERES.
MARS
4TH FROM THE SUN
WHICH IS MARS, THE RED
PLANET! MARS HAS A
RED ATMOSPHERE, AND
HAS WHAT LOOKS LIKE
AN ICECAP; IT HAS A
VERY BIG CRATER, TOO.
MOUNTAINS, HILLS AND
CRATERS MAKE UP MOST
OF MARS. IT’S ABOUT
HALF THE SIZE OF
VENUS.
JUPITER
6 TH FROM THE SUN
WHILE THE BIGGEST
PLANET! THE RED SPOT
COULD FIT THREE
EARTHS IN IT AND IT IS A
STORM! JUPITER COULD
FIT ABOUT 1,300 EARTHS
IN IT. SOME OF ITS
MOONS ARE CALLED IO,
GALILEO, AND EUROPA.
SATURN
7TH FROM THE SUN. LOTS
OF RINGS. THE ONE. THE
ONLY... SATURN!!!!
FUN FACT: SCIENTISTS
HAVE FOUND A NEW
MOON HIDDEN IN ONE OF
SATURN’S RINGS!!!
THE RINGS ARE MADE OF
CHUNKS OF ICE AND
ROCK. SATURN IS A BIT
SMALLER THAN JUPITER.
SOME OF THE ROCK
CHUNKS IN SATURN’S
RINGS CAN BE AS BIG AS
A HOUSE OR SMALL AS A
PEBBLE.
URANUS
8TH FROM SUN WHILE A
VERY WIERD GAS GIANT.
IT HAS SOMEWHERE
AROUND 9 GAS RINGS!
IT LIES ON ITS SIDE!!
I WONDER HOW THAT
HAPPENED?
DO YOU REALLY THINK
THAT URANUS IS LIGHTGREEN?
YES? WELL LET US TELL
YOU THAT URANUS IS
ACTUALLY BLUE-GREEN.
NEPTUNE
9TH FROM THE SUN
WHICH IS NEPTUNE THE
BLUE PLANET!
NEPTUNE IS NAMED
AFTER THE ROMAN GOD
OF THE SEA.
THERE IS A BLUE STORM
ON NEPTUNE JUST LIKE
JUPITER BUT JUPITER’S
STORM IS RED AND
NEPTUNE’S IS BLUE.
WELL THAT’S ALL WE
KNOW ABOUT NEPTUNE.
DWARF PLANET:
CERES
CERES IS THE 5TH FROM
THE SUN. DO YOU KNOW
WHY WE DID NOT PUT IT
IN ITS SPOT IN THE
BOOK? WELL WE WILL
TELL YOU WHY. BECAUSE
IT IS A DWARF PLANET.
DWARF’S GO ON THE
LAST 3 PAGES. THIS IS
DWARF #1. THE NEXT
DWARF IS... PLEASE
TURN THE PAGE.
DWARF PLANET:
PLUTO
10TH FROM THE SUN.
PLUTO’S GAS FREEZES
WHEN IT IS FAR FROM
THE SUN, AND IT MELTS
WHEN IT IS CLOSE TO
THE SUN. I DON’T KNOW
BUT I THINK THAT PLUTO
AND ERIS HAVE MOONS.
ERIS IS ON THE NEXT
PAGE.
DWARF PLANET:
ERIS
ERIS IS 11TH FROM THE
SUN. IT IS THE LAST
PLANET IN OUR JOURNEY
THROUGH OUR SOLAR
SYSTEM. HERE IS THE
LIST OF THE DWARF
PLANETS IN SIZE ORDER.
SMALL #1 CERES
MEDUM #2 ERIS
