- 7. Third closest planetto the sun (93million miles away) One Rotation is 24 hours Only planet known to harbor life Earth is surrounded by 71% water The Earth is fragile. Its surface is split into tectonic plates which float on a rocky mantle
- 8. Mars • Fourth planetfrom the sun • Mars has the tallest Volcano in the Solar System which is 15miles high. • One year is 687 days • It’s surface is very cold and covered with craters, volcano's, and large canyons • Has the largest dust storms and is know to be called the red planet
- 9. Jupiter isthe 5th closest to the sun and largest planet in our solar system Days are only 10hours long do to the rapid rotation! The “Giant Red Spot” is a storm that has been occurring for hundred of years A year is 12 Earth years Jupiter contain two rings around it
- 10. • Saturn isthe 6th planet from the sun • One year is only 29 Earth days with a day being 10.7 hours! • Saturn has 7 large rings around it made of ice and rock • Has lowest density of all the planets and is so light it could float on water • Known as the “Gas Giant Planet”
