☀️ Mercury – The Speedy One
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It’s very hot during the day and freezing at night. It’s also the smallest planet and has no moons. It takes 88 days for it to orbit around the sun once.
Have you ever looked up at the night sky and wondered what’s out there? Our solar system is full of amazing planets, each with its own story. Let’s blast off and explore them together!
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. It’s very hot during the day and freezing at night. It’s also the smallest planet and has no moons. It takes 88 days for it to orbit around the sun once.
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It’s covered in thick clouds that trap heat, making it hotter than Mercury! Venus is about the same size as Earth. It takes 225 days for it to orbit the sun once.
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only one we know that has life. It has oceans, forests, deserts, and mountains. Earth spins once every 24 hours and takes 365 days to go around the Sun once.
Mars is the fourth planet and is known for its red color. Scientists think it might have had water long ago. It has the tallest volcano in the solar system—Olympus Mons! it yakes 687 years for it to orbit around the sun once.
Jupiter is the biggest planet. It’s made of gas and has a huge storm called the Great Red Spot. Jupiter has over 90 moons! It takes 12 years for it to orbit around the sun once.
Saturn is famous for its beautiful rings made of ice and rock. It’s the second-largest planet and also a gas giant like Jupiter. It takes 29 years for it to orbit around the sun once.
Uranus spins on its side! It’s a cold planet with faint rings and a blue-green color. It’s the seventh planet from the Sun. It takes 84 years for it to orbit the sun once.
Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. It’s deep blue and has the fastest winds in the solar system—over 1,000 miles per hour! It takes 165 years for it to orbit around the sun once.
Did you know that it takes light from the Sun about 8 minutes to reach Earth? That means when you see sunlight, it’s already 8 minutes old!
The solar system is just the beginning. There are moons, asteroids, and even dwarf planets like Pluto waiting to be discovered. So keep asking questions and exploring the universe!
