an orbital period of about 88 Earth days.
• The diameter of Planet Mercury is 4,878 km

6. Venus
• The planet is named after the Roman goddess
of love and beauty.
• The atmospheric pressure on the surface of
Venus is that 90 times the pressure on Earth.
• Venus is classified as a terrestrial planet and is
sometimes called Earth's "sister planet" owing
to their similar size, gravity, and bulk
composition

8. Earth
• Earth formed approximately 4.54 billion years
ago, and life appeared on its surface within its
first billion years.
• The Earth has only one satellite, the Moon.
The Moon is the second brightest object in the
sky.
• The planet is home to millions of species of
life, including humans.

10. Mars
• Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and
the second smallest planet in the Solar
System.
• Named after the Roman god of war, it is often
described as the "Red Planet", as the iron
oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish
appearance.
• The orbital speed of Mars is 24.2 km per
second
11.
12. Jupiter
• Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system,
is 318 times larger than Earth.
• Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen
with a quarter of its mass being helium,
although helium only comprises about a tenth
of the number of molecules.
• Jupiter's mass is 2.5 times that of all the other
planets in the Solar System combined
13.
14. Saturn
• Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and
the second largest.
• Saturn has a prominent ring system that
consists of nine continuous main rings and
three discontinuous arcs, composed mostly of
ice particles with a smaller amount of rocky
debris and dust.
• Saturn is termed a gas giant, but it is not
entirely gaseous.
15.
16. Uranus
• Uranus is the third largest planet in the Solar
System.
• Uranus is similar in composition to Neptune,
and both are of different chemical
composition than the larger gas giants Jupiter
and Saturn.
17.
18. Neptune
• Neptune is the fourth largest planet in the
Solar System.
• Neptune was the first planet found by
mathematical prediction rather than by
empirical observation.
19.
20. Pluto
• Pluto, formal designation 134340 Pluto, is the
second-most-massive known dwarf planet in
the Solar System
• Pluto is the smallest planet in the Solar
System, smaller than Earth’s Moon, and half
the width of Jupiter’s moon, Ganymede.
