orbit the Sun
 A day on Mercury is 59 times longer than
an earth day
 Mercury is very hot during the day and
very cold at night

Venus
Venus is called “The twin of earth”
because they are alike

than boiling water
 Venus reflects sunlight making it the
brightest thing in the sky

Earth
Earth is the only planet with life
