MERCURY OVERVIEW
Mercury
              Mercury is the planet closest to the
Web Links
              Sun in our Solar System. This small,
              rocky planet has almost no
Web Link-1
              atmosphere. Mercury has a very
              elliptical orbit and a huge range in
•Web Link-2
              temperature.
•Web Link-3
              During the long daytime (which lasts
              58.65 Earth days or almost an
•Web Link-4
              entire A year on the Mercury planet
              is 88 days long), the temperature is
              hotter than an oven; during the long
              night (the same length), the
              temperature is colder than a
              freezer.

VENUS OVERVIEW

              Venus is the second planet from
              the sun in our solar system. It
  Venus       is the hottest planet in our Solar
 Web Links    System. This planet is covered
Web Link-1    with fast-moving sulfuric acid
              clouds which trap heat from the
              Sun. Its thick atmosphere is
•Web Link-2   mostly carbon dioxide.

•Web Link-3   The surface of Venus is a very
              unpleasant place featuring very
              high temperatures, winds that
•Web Link-4
              blow hundreds of miles per hour
              and an atmosphere of sulfuric
              acid.

EARTH OVERVIEW

              The Earth is the third
              planet from the Sun in
              our Solar System. It is the
   Earth
              planet we evolved on and
  Web Links
              the only planet in our
              Solar System that is
Web Link-1    known to support life.

•Web Link-2   From a distance, our
              planet looks like a
•Web Link-3   beautiful big blue marble.
              There are a number of
•Web Link-4   things that make our
              planet unique in the solar
              system, not the least of
              which is that we are the
              only planet so far that we
 VFT          know for certain has ever
MENU          had life of any kind.
MARS OVERVIEW

               Mars, the red planet, is the
               fourth planet from the sun and
               the most Earth-like planet in
     Mars      our solar system. It is about half
   Web Links   the size of Earth and has a dry,
               rocky surface and a very thin
Web Link-1     atmosphere.

Web Link-2     The Red Planet is named after
               the Roman god of war. Its
Web Link-3     distinctive rust color is easily
               seen through a small telescope.
Web Link-4     The surface of Mars features
               many mountains, canyons and
               even polar ice caps that look a
               lot like those here on Earth.

JUPITER OVERVIEW

                    The fifth planet in our solar
                    system is also the largest planet
                    in our system, both in size and
                    mass. Jupiter is the fifth and
Jupiter Web Links   largest planet in our solar
                    system.
  Web Link-1
                    This gas giant has a thick
 •Web Link-2        atmosphere, 39 known moons,
                    and a dark, barely-visible ring.
 •Web Link-3        Its most prominent features are
                    bands across its latitudes and a
 •Web Link-4        great red spot (which is a storm).

SATURN OVERVIEW

                   Saturn is the sixth planet
                   from the sun in our solar
                   system. It is the second-
Saturn Web Links   largest planet in our solar
                   system (Jupiter is the largest).
   Web Link-1      Saturn is one of the most
                   beautiful planets in the solar
   •Web Link-2     system.

   •Web Link-3     Its fascinating system of rings
                   has been a source of wonder
   •Web Link-4     since we first saw them with
                   the earliest telescopes. In
                   addition, Saturn has so many
                   moons that it is like a
                   miniature solar system.

URANUS OVERVIEW

                   Uranus is the seventh
                   planet from the sun in our
                   solar system. This huge, icy
                   planet is covered with
Uranus Web Links   clouds and is encircled by a
                   belt of 11 rings and 22
  Web Link-1       known moons. Uranus is
                   one of the giant gas planets
  •Web Link-2      in the solar system.

  •Web Link-3      Its mysterious blue-green
                   color provides very few
  •Web Link-4      clues as to what is going on
                   underneath the surface
                   clouds. If you get a chance
                   to look at Uranus through a
                   telescope, all you will see is
                   a faint blue disk that
                   appears exceptionally dull
  VFT              and lifeless.
 MENU
NEPTUNE OVERVIEW

                    Neptune is the eighth planet
                    from the sun in our solar
                    system. This giant, frigid planet
                    has a hazy atmosphere and
Neptune Web Links   strong winds. This gas giant is
   Web Link-1       orbited by eight moons and
                    narrow, faint rings arranged in
   •Web Link-2      clumps.

   •Web Link-3      Actually, there are times when
                    Neptune is the furthest planet
   •Web Link-4      from the Sun. Pluto, which has
                    a very elliptical orbit, is
                    sometimes closer to the Sun
                    that Neptune for a period of
                    time, but, for the most part,
                    Neptune is closer to the Sun
                    than Pluto.

ASTEROID OVERVIEW

                     Asteroids are chunks of rock
                     and metal that orbit around
                     the Sun. Scientists think that
Asteroid Web Links   they are loose material that
                     never formed into planets.
                     Asteroids are rocky or
 Web Link-1          metallic objects, most of
                     which orbit the Sun in the
 •Web Link-2         asteroid belt between Mars
                     and Jupiter. None of the
 •Web Link-3         asteroids have atmospheres.
                     Asteroids are also known as
 •Web Link-4         planetoids or minor planets.

It is about half Web Links the size of Earth and has a dry, rocky surface and a very thin Web Link-1 atmosphere. Web Link-2 The Red Planet is named after the Roman god of war. Its Web Link-3 distinctive rust color is easily seen through a small telescope. Web Link-4 The surface of Mars features many mountains, canyons and even polar ice caps that look a lot like those here on Earth. VFT MENU
  • 8. JUPITER OVERVIEW The fifth planet in our solar system is also the largest planet in our system, both in size and mass. Jupiter is the fifth and Jupiter Web Links largest planet in our solar system. Web Link-1 This gas giant has a thick •Web Link-2 atmosphere, 39 known moons, and a dark, barely-visible ring. •Web Link-3 Its most prominent features are bands across its latitudes and a •Web Link-4 great red spot (which is a storm).
