The document provides information about the planets in our solar system. It discusses the key facts about Mercury, such as it being the closest planet to the sun and having no atmosphere. Venus is described as being similar in size to Earth but much hotter due to its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere. The document expresses a personal preference for Earth and also provides details about the orbits and atmospheres of Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

1. Solar System

3. Let’s take a
closer look at the
planets

4. Mercury
Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. Every 88
days Mercury evolves around the sun one time.
Although Mercury does not have an atmosphere it
does have glaciers. Since Mercury is so close to
the Sun, it is very hot. Normal temperatures
during the day time can reach up to 800 degrees
Fahrenheit .Due to its iron composition, Mercury
has a large mass.
Mercury has no
atmosphere!

5. Venus
Venus is the same size as Earth but
because of its atmosphere made of
carbon dioxide and sulfur compounds
its temperatures are much hotter.
Venus is the hottest planet and is the
second planet closest to the sun.
Venus takes 225 days to orbit around
the sun once.

6. Earth
Personally this is my
favorite planet! I
might be a little
biased though.

7. Mars
Every 687 days Mars evolves
around the Sun. Just like Earth,
Mars poles are covered in ice.
Mars’s atmosphere is very thin
and consists of mostly carbon
dioxide. Mars is the 4th planet
from the Sun.
Did you know that
Mars was named
after the Roman
God of War?

8. JupiterJupiter
Jupiter has a very slow orbit around the sun
at 12 years per revolution. Although it has a
slow orbit it has a very fast rotation. Days
on Jupiter only last 10 hours. Jupiter is the
5th planet away from the Sun.
You could fit
1,300 Earths
inside of Jupiter!

9. Saturn
It would be
impossible to
stand on Saturn
because it is so
gaseous!

10. Uranus Uranus takes 87 years to orbit
the Sun. It is a very icy planet
because it is the 7th planet from
the sun. The planet’s mass is 14
times larger than Earth.
Uranus is the
coldest planet
in the solar
system!

11. Neptune
Neptune is the farthest planet
from the sun and just like
Uranus it is mostly ice. It take
Uranus 165 years to orbit the
Sun. Neptune’s atmosphere
mostly consists of methane gas,
which is what gives it the blue
color.
Neptune is the
stormiest planet. It is
known to have
hurricanes that are
three times faster than
hurricanes on Earth!
