Our Solar System

                   Hi everyone. Today we want to tell you about our Solar System. Our Solar System of an average star we call the sun and the planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It includes the satellites of the planets, comets asteroids and meteoroids. 

                 

Now I want to tell you abour 8 planet in our Solar System.

MERCURY

Mercury is the smallest planet in our Solar System. It's just little bigger than Earth's moon. It is the closest planet to the sun, but it's actually not the hottest. Mercury is one of the rocky planets. It has a solid surface that is covered with craters. It has a thin atmosphere, and it doens't have any moon. Mercury takes 59 days to make one full rotation. Because it was the closest planet to the sun, it doens't take very long to go all the way around. If you lived on Mercury, you'd have a birthday every three months.

VENUS

Even thought Venus isn't the closest planet to the sun, it is still the hottest. It has a thick atmosphere full of the gas carbon dioxide and clouds made of sulfuric acid. Venus look like a active planet. It has mountains and volcanoes. Venus is  similar in size to Earth. Earth is just a little bit bigger. Venus is unusual because it spins the opposite direction as Earth and most  other planets. It takes 255 Earth days for  Venus to go all the way around the sun. Just like Mercury, Venus doesn't  have any moon.

EARTH

Our home planet Earth is a rocky, terrestrial planet. It has a solid and active surface with mountains, valleys, plains and so much more. Earth is special because it is an ocean planet. Water covers 70%  of Earth's surface. Our atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and has plenty of oxygen  for us to breathe. The atmosphere also protect us from meteoroids.

MARS

Mars is a cold desert word. Mars is sometimes called the Red Planet. It's red because of rusty iron in the ground. It has a very thin atmosphere made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen and argon. There are signs of ancient floods on Mars, but now mostly exists in icy dirt  and thin clouds.

JUPITER

Jupiter is the biggest planet in our Solar System. It's similar to a star, but it never got big enough to star burning. It is covered in swirling cloud stripes. It has big storms like the Great Red Spot, which has been going for hundred years. Jupiter is a gas giant and doesn't have a solid surface. Jupiter also has rings, but they're too faint to see very well 

SATURN

Saturn isn't the only planet to have rings, but it definitely has the most beautiful one.  The ring we see are made of chunks of ice and rock. Like Jupiter, Saturn is mostly a ball of hydrogen and helium

URANUS

Uranus is made of water, methane and ammonia fluids above a small rocky  center. Its atmosphere  is made of hydrogen and helium like Jupiter and Saturn, but also  has methane makes Uranus blue. Uranus also has faint ring. Like Venus, Uranus also  rotates in the opposite direction a most other planets.

NEPTUNE

Neptune is dark , cold and very windy,. It's the last planet in our Solar System. It's more than 30 times as far from the sun. Neptune is very similar to Uranus. It's made of thick soup of water, ammonia and methane. The methane give Neptune the same blue colour same as Uranus. Neptune have six rings, but they're very hard to see.
