mercury
The Planet Mercury is the closest planet to our sun and is the
smallest planet in the solar system.
It is named after a roman god. Mercury is the first planet of
our solar system and it is next to the sun.
Mercury characteristics it has 2 sides once that is very hot
that facing to the sun and one is very cold in facing opposites
ways.
0.4 A.U. from the Sun on the average
Mercury (Hg) is an element and a natural part of our
universe. It has been identified on the sun and found in
meteorites and moon rocks
Venus
In astronomy mythology, Venus was the Roman goddess
of love and beauty. In Greek, her name was Aphrodite. As
we know Venus is the brightest planet in the milkyway
galaxy. The color of Venus is more like caramel brown.
The diameter of Venus is 7,519 miles (12,100 km).
The temperature in the surface is about 860° Fahrenheit
or 460° Celsius.
The length of day on Venus is 243 Earth days. a year on
Venus is only 224.7 days
Earth
Earth is a small, rocky planet which supports a variety of life. As far as we know,
Earth is unique from all other planets.
Earth is the 3rd planet from the sun, and the densest, 5 th largest of the 8 planets
in the Solar System.
Earth is also the largest of the 4 terrestrial planets. It is sometimes called the blue
planet because of its color or its latin name Terra
The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial planets. A terrestrial planet is a dense
planet found in the inner Solar System.
About 30% of the Earth's surface is covered with land, while about 70% is covered
by oceans.
Core: Innermost part of the earth
Mantle: 2nd layer of the earth
Crust: Outer layer of the earth
The average distance from the Earth to the Sun is also called 1 astronomical unit
(or AU). This is established as 149, 597, 870.7 kilometers (92,955,887.6 miles).
Mars
Mars name is after the Greek God of war Martius and Martialis.
Mars were called the red planet because most of the rock in Mars in red so that’s why
Mars is called the red planet.
It also has the Solar System's biggest volcano, Olympus Mons.
Mars is 228.000.000km away from the sun. Martian years is equal to 1.8809 earth years
The distance with Earth is 54.6 million miles.
Mars temperature is -55 c to -133 c. but when it is summer the temperature went up to
27 c
Mars spin on it axis every 24.63 hours.
Mars orbits Sun in 687 Earth day. 1 year in Mars is around 687 day in earth.
1 day in mars is 24 hour and 39 minutes earth.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the
Solar System.
One of the storm is called the Great Red Spot Jupiter is classified as a gas
giant along with Saturn, Uranus and Neptune but it is the biggest of the gas
giant and Jupiter have stronger winds and storms than Earth .
Together, these four planets are sometimes called as the Jovian or outer
planets.
temperatures can reach -145° C
Jupiter is mostly made of gas such as helium, hydrogen and methane
Jupiter is the most stormiest planet in our solar system with wind that
mostly reach 300 miles per hour and one of the strongest
longest storm by Jupiter to last is the great red spot in southern
hemisphere and it has lasted for more than 300 years and the wind speed
over 500 miles per hour
Saturn
Planet Saturn Name is from the roman god of agriculture.
Saturn are also called the gas Giants.
Saturn is the second biggest planet on the solar system.
Saturn is also famous because of its rings the rings of Saturn are made of mostly rocks and ice in Saturn
there are like 53-60 Moon’s
Volume:744 More than Earth
Mass: 95 times more than earth
Distance from sun: 1.429.000.000. Kilometers
Distance From the closest planet:Jupiter and saturn are about 680 million miles.
Wide: about 7330 km
saturn is so cold this planet temperature is -250 deegres, this planet has hydrogen gas for 75% and helium
for 25%
Sun orbiting:
Year’s:29.45 years
Speed: 9.69 km
Revolving: 10,759 Earth days
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third of the 4 gas giants.
Uranus is 14.5 bigger then Earth. clouds.Uranus is outside the orbit of Saturn
and inside the orbit of Neptune.
It is very far from the sun so Uranus is very cold .
Uranus has the 27 moons. Uranus was also the name of the Lord of the skies
and also called Earth husband.
Uranus have 22 moons.
In Uranus there are 5 big moon and 10 smaller moon.
The 5 big moons are: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon.
The distance of Uranus and the sun is 1,9 billion miles.
Meteorite
Meteoroid is a sand to a boulder sized particle of debris in the
solar system. The visible path of a meteoroids that enters
Earth’s atmosphere is known as the meteor or its called as the
shooting star or the falling star. If a meteoroids reach a ground
and it survives by not destroyed into a sand it is called the
meteorite
Galaxy
Galaxy is the result of more than billions of star combining themselves
into shapes that is now known as galaxy. It is a collection of stars, gas,
and dust combine together because of gravity. The name Milky Way
galaxy came from the name milky, which means the glowing band in
the night sky.
Moons
Moon The natural satellite of Earth, visible by
reflection of sunlight and having a slightly elliptical
orbit.
Earth moon
Asteroid
Star
A star is a sphere that is held together by the force of
gravity. It is sometimes seen from earth but it is very
small because the distance is very far from a solar
system to another.
Sun
The Sun was named sol after the ancient roman
name. The Sun was born in a vast cloud of gas and
dust around 5 billion years ago, when that happen,
the Sun began to have light and energy and heat
because of the spark of the rocks. The sun is the main
source of light and heat, all of the planets need it for
them to be warm instead of being very cold and
freezing.
comet
A comet is an icy small Solar System body (SSSB) that, when close
enough to the Sun, displays a visible coma (a thin, fuzzy,
temporary atmosphere) and sometimes also a tail.
These phenomena are both due to the effects of solar radiation and
the solar wind upon the nucleus of the comet.
Earths best sustain for
life
Earth is unique in the Solar System as being the only planet which is able to support life in
all its forms: from basic living micro-organisms to highly modern and intelligent human
beings. There are many reasons why this happens:
Earth has a breathable atmosphere. Oxygen is the gas that is required for the life of most
creatures. This is present in Earth's atmosphere and also in water. Oxygen is constantly put
into the atmosphere by plants and trees. Earth's atmosphere also contains a small amount
of carbon dioxide.
Earth has a suitable climate. This is caused by the enough amount of carbon dioxide in the
planet's atmosphere, which is constantly refreshed whenever there is a volcanic eruption.
The temperature on Earth does not go from one extreme to the other either.
Earth has water, Water is believed to be the most important chemical necessary for life. It
contains the oxygen needed for life. Other liquids contain poisonous elements. Water
doesn't burn skin (like liquids containing acids do), it is drinkable, and it allows lifeproviding molecules to move around easily.
All planets receive light from the sun, but no planets is as useful as earth, trees and plants
produce oxygen through a process called photosynthesis.
Differences between earth and Neptune
Earth

It has liquid water
plate tectonics, and an atmosphere that
shelters it from the worst of the sun's
rays.

- Neptune's length of day is 16.1 hours
-Neptune's average temperature is -214
degrees Celsius
-Earth's average temperature is 15 degrees
Celsius

pattern of clouds. This cloud pattern is very
similar to that of Jupiter and Saturn.
Neptune even has a Great Dark Spot similar
to Jupiter's Great Red Spot
-REVOLUTION:
165 years
- DISTANCE FROM SUN: 94.5 million miles
Earth and Neptune differences
Earth: is the only planet in our solar system known to harbor life. All of the things we
need to survive are provided under a thin layer of atmosphere that separates us from
the uninhabitable void of space. Earth is made up of complex, interactive systems that
are often unpredictable. Air, water, land, and life, including humans combine forces to
create a constantly changing world that we are striving to understand. Earth is the third
planet from the sun and the fifth largest in the solar system. Earth's diameter is just a
few hundred kilometers larger than that of Venus. The four seasons are a result of
Earth's axis of rotation being tilted more than 23 degrees. The Earth spins on an
imaginary line called an axis that runs from the north pole to the south pole, while also
orbiting the sun. It takes Earth 24 hours to complete a rotation on its axis, and roughly
365 days to complete an orbit around the sun. Earth has no rings such as Neptune and
Jupiter.
•
Neptune: Neptune is the stormiest planet. The winds there can blow up to 1,240 miles per
hour, that is three times as fast as Earth's Hurricanes. The planet has has a system of thin
dark rings but they are incomplete rings and are best described as arcs. Neptune is a sea blue
color due to the methane gas in its atmosphere. Neptune once had a great dark spot similar
to Jupiter. Neptune only receives 1/900 of the solar energy that reaches Earth. Neptune has
its own heat source, it emits a quantity of energy 2.7 times greater than it receives. Neptune
has 8 known moons. Neptune is 30 times farther from the sun as is the Earth. It goes around
the sun once every 165 Earth Years. The atmosphere is made up of Hydrogen, Helium and
Methane. Neptune has a rocky core.
Earth and Neptune
similarities
They're both blue and are that colour for similar
reasons
The surface gravity is similar and the rocky centre of
Neptune is close to Earth's in size. Earth and Neptune
also have the largest satellites compared to their size
among the eight major planets, and its axial tilt is
similar to ours. There are also similarities between
the Moon and Neptune's satellite Nereid, which are
both unusually far out.
