2. The Sun
The Sun is one out of billions of stars The Sun is the
closest star to Earth. The Sun rotates once every 27
days The Sun is now a middle-aged star, meaning it is at
about the middle of its life The Sun formed over four and a
half billion years ago You may think the Sun will die soon,
but it will keep shining for at least another five billion years
3. Mercury
Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the Solar System
orbiting the Sun once every . Earth days
4. Venus
Venus is known as Earths' twin sister because of its similar size
and proximity to each other.
Its atmosphere is made up mostly of carbon dioxide.
5. Earth
The Earth is not actually round in shape; in fact it is
geoid. This simply means that the rounded shape has
a slight bulge towards the equator.
6. Mars
Mars has the largest canyon in the solar system It would reach
from Los Angeles to Chicago if it was on Earth Mars has a very
thin atmosphere, mostly carbon dioxide, but dust storms can
cover the whole planet for months at a time About every two
years the Earth and Mars come close together The planet has
two moons, Deimos and Phobos
7. Jupiter
Jupiter takes about 12 years to orbit the sun and
rotates in about 10 hours This short Jupiter day is
amazing since the planet is roughly 11 Earth diameters
wide Unlike the rocky planets, Jupiter is a ball of
dense hydrogen, helium, water, nitrogen and other
gases over a tiny rocky core Powerful winds dominate
the atmosphere with criss-crossing jet streams,
lightning and huge hurricane-like storms like the Great
Red Spot
8. Saturn
The icy planet Uranus is a smaller version of Jupiter and not the
small rocky bodies like Earth It have faint rings and a number of
moons Uranus takes some 84 years to orbit the sun It rotates on
its side and so half the time one pole is toward the sun and then
the other making each of the four seasons last about 20 years
The faint bluish color of the planet is because the methane gas in
the atmosphere absorbs red light and reflects blue light
9. Uranus
Neptune is the eight planet from the Sun in our solar
system. Here are collection of fact about Neptune
available to us through astronomy and scientific
research.
