The Solar System
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the sun and it is terrestrail. Venus is the hottest planet, even though Mercury is closer to the sun than it. Venus is very
close to Earth in size and is referred to as 'Earth's Sister Planet' based on these sizes. The density is 5.24. The diameter is is 7,520.8. The day length is 116 days and 18 hours. The year length is 225 days. The surface temperature is 864 degrees Fahrenheit. And Venus has no moons.
Mercury
Mercury is terrestrial and it is the closest
planet to the sun. Its distance from the sun
is 35.98 million miles. Its year length is 88
days, and its day length is 58 days 15 hours
and 30 minutes. The diameter is 3,032 mi,
and density 5.42. Its gravity is 3.7. The surface
temperature is 800 degrees because it is so
close to the sun. It has no moons and its
rotation is unique to the solar system.
Earth
Earth is the planet you live on, and is terrestrial because it is an inner planet. Its distance from the sun is 92.96 million miles.
It takes 365 days for Earth to orbit the sun. Its day length is 24 hours. The diameter is 7,917.5 miles and the density 5.51. The surface temperature is 59 degrees Fahrenheit and the surface gravity is 9.807. Earth has one moon, and is special since it is the only planet that can maintain life and has water.
You can see the moon appear at night when the sun is not visible. Like all moons, it orbits the Earth. Scientist believe the moon was formed 4.51 billion years ago, not too long after the Earth was formed. Most people believe the moon was formed from debris left over after a giant impact between Earth and a Mars-sized body called Theia.

Mars
Mars is the 4th planet from the sun and the smallest planet in our solar system. It is terrestrial and Mars is 141.6 million miles from the sun. It has 2 moons. Mars takes 687 days to orbit the sun. A day on Mars is 1 day and 37 minutes. It has normal seasons like Earth. Mars's gravity is less than the gravity on earth. If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars.
About Phobos
Phobos, meaning fear, was named after the horses that pulled greek war god, Ares's chariot. It is the largest of Mars's two moons and is closer to any other satellite it the solar system. It travels about 3,700 miles above the surface of the red planet. That's close compared to the moon's 384,400 km from the Earth.

About Deimos
Phobos
Deimos
Deimos, meaning panic, is Mars's smallest moon. Not much is known about Deimos, but missions are currently being launched to learn more about it. Both Deimos and Phobos was found by a guy named Asaph Hall in 1877.
Jupiter
Jupiter is gaseous and is the fifth planet from the sun and the largest planet in our Solar System. It's orbital period is 12 years and day is is about 10 hours. The big red spot is known to be a raging storm that has been observed for 188 years, and thought to be raging for centuries. The storm is twice as wide as Earth. It is 483.8 million miles. The diameter is 86,881 mi. Jupiter has poisonous clouds above it that are about -234 degrees Fahrenheit. But scientist say the middle of Jupiter is hotter than the sun. The gravitational pull is about 2.4 times as strong as Earth's so if you weighed 88 Ibs on Earth, you would weigh 207 Ibs on Jupiter.
Moons
Moons
Scientist have only named 53 of Jupiter's moons. They discovered 16 more but not much more has been discovered on the interesting moons. The largest four moons are; Io, Europa, Ganymede and Callisto. All of which were discovered by Galileo and are known as Galilean moons.
Saturn
Saturn is the Sixth planet from the sun and is the farthest that can be seen without a telescope or any special lens. It's surface temperature is -270 degrees Fahrenheit. Saturn is best known for its large rings made of ice, asteroids, dust, and other stuff. Saturn is about 890.7 million miles from the sun. It is the second largest planet in the solar system. Saturn has 53 moon's, almost more than any other planet! Jupiter has the most moons.
Saturn's Moons
Moons
Moons
Saturn has 61 moons. Many have no pictures but some have been lucky enough to be caught on camera. Titan, Dione, Enceladus, Hyperion, and Iapetus are SOME of Saturn's many moons. Some moons have not been named and many not recorded.
Uranus
The sideways planet of Uranus. Uranus is the 7th planet from the Sun and, indeed, rotates on its side. It is gaseous. It has thin rings and 27 moons. There are thought to be many reasons for Uranus's odd tilt, but none are proven or have good evidence to support the theories. Uranus is about 1.784 billion miles from the Sun. It takes 84 years for Uranus to orbit the Sun.
About the Moons
Moons
Moons
Uranus has 27 moons but only 5 major moons, Ariel, Miranda, Titania, Oberon and Umbriel. Uranus and its five major moons are depicted in this montage of images acquired by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. The other 22 moons have not been researched enough to be recorded or reported to the public.
Neptune
The last and coldest planet is Neptune. Its surface temperature is -353 Fahrenheit. It is 2.793 billion miles from the sun. Its surface gravity is 11.15. The diameter is 30,599 miles. Neptune's orbital period is 165 years and the day length is about 16 hours. Its density is 1.64.
Moons
Since Neptune is so far away, scientist have discovered and named 13 moons, and other unnamed moon orbiting Neptune so far. The moons were named for Greek or Roman mythological characters which think to Neptune. The latest discovery was back in 2013. It makes 14 moons that we know Neptune has. It is currently unnamed and was discovered from old images from the Hubble Space Telescope
