2. The sun
The sun is a star and also the centre of our
Solar system. If the sun should die so would
the rest of the solar system.
It could hold 1 million Earths comfortably
inside it.
On the sun the white areas are even hotter
than the rest of the sun!
3. Mercury
Mercury is only 5% of the earths size
It is only 36 million miles away from the sun.
this may seem a lot but actually it is
reasonably close. So therefor it is very, very
hot.
The maximum temperature for Mercury is
465 Degrees centigrade.
Mercury has no moons.
4. Venus
Venus is 81% of the Earths size.
It is 67 million miles away from the sun but it
is still extremely hot.
It takes 24316 Earth days for Venus to spin
round once.
Venus does not have any moons.
5. Mars
Mars is 10% of the Earths size. It is also the
closest planet to our home planet Earth.
It is 142 million miles away from the sun.
It takes almost the same time as the Earth to
rotate-24 hours and 37 minutes to be exact!
Mars has two known moons.
6. Jupiter
Jupiter is 317 times the size of the Earth an is
the biggest planet in the solar system.
At 483miles away from the sun Jupiter is
considerably colder than the Earth.
Jupiter is made up of different gasses and is
the first planet after the asteroid belt.
Jupiter has 61 moons and we are currently
counting!
7. Saturn
Saturn is the second biggest planet in the
solar system after Jupiter.
It happens to be 888 million miles away from
the sun!
It is known for its famous rings made from
space rocks and dust. Made of gasses it is the
second planet after the asteroid belt.
Saturn has over 30 moons!
8. Uranus
Uranus is 14.6 times the size of the earth.
Uranus has rings just like Saturn also It spins
on its side!
Uranus has 21 moons and one named
Miranda looks a bit like a jigsaw puzzle!!
9. Neptune
Neptune is 4 times the size of our planet
Earth.
It takes 12 years to get to Neptune from
Earth. Neptune has a water got named after
it.
It also has 12 moons orbiting it!
10. Our moon
Our moon is the only piece of land in the
universe(except Earth) that man has ever set foot
on! This is because there has not been technology
trustworthy enough for man to reach there safely.
Neil Armstrong- the first man on the moon is
famous for saying these words: “One small step for
man, one giant leap for man kind!”
Fun fact
The moon does not give off any of its own light-
the sun shines off it and this is the light we see!
