6. Do you need longer text?
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun
and the smallest one in the entire Solar
System. Contrary to popular belief, this
planet's name has nothing to do with the
liquid metal. Mercury was, instead,
named after the famous Roman
messenger god Mercurius
Mercury takes a little more than 58 days
to complete its rotation, so try to imagine
how long days must be there! Since the
temperatures are so extreme, albeit not
as extreme as on Venus, Mercury has
been deemed to be non-habitable for
humans

7. The slide title goes here!
Do you know what helps you make your point
crystal clear?
Lists like this one:
● They’re simple
● You can organize your ideas clearly

miss the point of your presentation

It’s composed mostly of hydrogen and
helium. It was named after the Roman god

in the Solar System. It’s the fourth-brightest

wisdom that someone

instead of a long text. Your
audience will appreciate it

16. Big numbers catch your audience’s attention
