Solar System
Hi Everyone! My
name is Earth and
today we’re going
to talk about the
solar system.
Let’s take a closer look at the
planets
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!
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.
Venus is like my twin!
EarthEarth is the 5th largest
planet in our solar system
and is the 3rd planet from
the sun. It takes 365.25
days for the Earth to orbit
around the Sun once.
Personally this is my favorite planet! I might be a little biased though.
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?
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!
Saturn
It takes Saturn 29.5 years to
orbit the Sun one time. Being
the 6th planet fr
om the sun
Saturn is approximately 658
million miles away. Saturn is a
very gaseous planet
consisting of 97% hydrogen
and 3% helium. It would be impossible to
stand on Saturn because it is so
gaseous!
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!
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!
