The Planets Within Our Solar System The Different Planets • There are nine planets in total • Mercury • Venus • Earth • Mars • Jupiter • Saturn • Uranus • Pluto Mercury • This planet is closet of all nine planets • • • • • to the sun. This planet orbits around the sun and takes only 88 days to do so. This planet was named after a Greek God name Mercury or more commonly known as Hermes. This planet takes 59 days to go from day to night. This planet does not have a moon that orbits it. This planet is one of five that you can see without a telescope. Venus • A year on this planet only lasts for 262 days • This planet is the second from the sun • This planet was named after the Roman • • • • Goddess of love This planet is closest to the earth This is the hottest planet in the solar system Water vapor and sulfuric acid cover this planet. This planets atmosphere is made up of carbon dioxide Earth • This planets atmosphere is made up of 21% oxygen • This is the only planet with water on the surface • This planet is very fragile and has split into multiple tectonic plates separating the land masses • This planet has a leap year because it takes the earth 365 ¼ days to orbit around the sun • When this planet orbits the sun it does so at a tilt providing it with seasons Mars • This planet is the planet that relates to earth in multiple ways • This planet also has seasons but no atmosphere to protect the heat, this causes very cold temperatures • This planet has dust storms that can cover the entire planet within a few days • This planet has polar ice caps just like earth does • This planet has a very distinct red tint to it Jupiter • This planet is the largest in the solar system currently, over 300 times larger than earth • This planets days last 9.8 hours compared to earths 24 • Because this planet spins so fast the appearance in constantly changing due to weather • This planet is made of helium, ammonia, hydrogen and methane • This planet has 64 moons Saturn • This planet has rings around it that are composed of ice • This planet takes 29 ½ years to make it around the sun once compared to the planet earth that only takes 1 • This planet takes 10 hours to spin on its axel • This planet is spinning so fast there are consistent hurricanes and bad windstorms. Uranus • You cannot see this planet from earth without a telescope • This planet has 27 moons the orbit it • Most of this planet is frozen methane and ammonia creating its blue color • This planet has 13 rings around it that are very hard to see • When studying this planet they noticed it moved farther out into space, this led to the discovery of the planet Neptune Neptune • • • • This planet spins on its axis in only 165 days This planet has 13 moons This planet takes 165 years to orbit the sun You need a large telescope to view this planet from earth • The orbit of Uranus was what caused Neptune to be discovered, because of Neptune's gravitational pull Pluto • This planet orbits the sun in an oval shape causing different distances from the sun at different times • This planet takes 248 ½ years to orbit the sun completely • Because of the differences that this planet has from the others in the solar system it was named a “dwarf planet”
