The planets. By Ciera Lowe.


Mercury. 

Mercury is 36 million miles away from the sun.

Mercury’s orbit brings it close to the sun then any other planets.

If you moved to Mercury you would not weigh as much as you would on earth , Not because you would lose weight.

Because of it’s close location to the sun the planet Mercury has tidily become close to the sun.


Venus. 

The planet Venus has long been one of the most misunderstood of all the inner planets. Venus is in many ways Earth's sister planet. It is almost identical in size, chemistry, gravity and density There is much we still do not know about how this planet looks and what it is like. However, using special. However, if they are twins, then Venus is the evil twin; she is the Earth gone wrong, very wrong. Venus is a deadly world where the surface temperature is hot enough to cook a meal in mere minutes. There .


Earth. 

The Earth is the biggest of all the terrestrial planets .

terrestrial planet is a dense planet found in the inner Solar System

Our planet is an oasis of life in an otherwise desolate universe.

The Earth's temperature, weather, atmosphere and many other factors are just right to keep us alive.


Mars. 

If you weighed 70 pounds (32 kg) on the Earth, you would weigh about 27 pounds (12 kg) on Mars.

Mars excites scientists because its mild temperament is more like the Earth's than any of the other planets

As Mars' atmosphere slowly depleted into outer space, the surface water began to permanently evaporate.


Jupiter. 

Jupiter's great red spot, is where a giant storm has been raging for at least 300 years.

Jupiter is considered a gas giant because it does not have a solid surface.

Under its atmosphere is a large liquid ocean of hydrogen and water.


Saturn 

Because Saturn is bigger than the Earth, you would weigh more on Saturn than you do here.

In many ways, Saturn is similar to Jupiter, but it is much smaller.

Saturn is most know well for its rings.


Uranus 

It would to you many years to fly to Uranus in a rocket.

Like Saturn the thick atmosphere of Uranus is made up of Methane, Hydrogen and Helium . Uranus is almost identical to the planet Neptune.


Neptune 

For many centuries did not know that this planet even existed.

Neptune is the smallest of the four gas giants in our sola system.

I f you weigh 70 pounds (32 kg) on the Earth, you would weigh 78.5 pounds (36 kg) on Neptune.


Pluto 

Because Pluto is so small you would be very light if you visited .

Pluto was the only planet to be name after a child.

Pluto is now discovered a dwarf planet.
