named milky way .

MERCURY
Mercury is the nearest planet to the
sun , orbiting at an average distance
of about 58 million kilo metres.
Because mercury is the closest
planet to the sun. Mercury is very
small and rocky. Mercury has
extreme surface temparature ,
ranging from a maximum of 430C
on the sunlit side -170C on the dark
side

VENUS
Venus is a rocky planet and the
second largest planet. Venus spins
slowly backwards as it orbits the
sun, causing its rotational period to
be the longest in the solar system .
Venus is said to be the morning and
the evening star and the third
brightest object in the after sun and
moon. Although Venus takes243
earth days to rotate 360 kilometers
per hour.

EARTH

solar system and it is known
as the special planet as it
sustains life. About 70% is
covered with water and 30%
covered with water . There
are four main layers they are
the inner core ,outer core
,mantle and crust. Earth takes
365 days to complete one
revolution and in one leap
year it 365 days and 4 hours.

MARS
Mars is the fourth planet in the
solar system. Mars is known as the
red planet for its reddish
appearance and the outer most
rocky planet .The northern
hemisphere of mars has many large
plains formed to be solidified
volcanic lava ,whereas the
southern hemisphere has many
craters and large impact basins.

JUPITER

Jupiter is the fifth planet from


sun and the largest planet. Jupiter
is the innermost of the four giant
planets, with a diameter about 11
times that of the earth and a mass
about 2.5 times of other seven
planets . The most prominent
cloud feature is a storm called
THE GREAT RED SPOT.

SATURN
Saturn is the sixth planet from
the sun and the second largest
in the solar sys tem after
Jupiter . Saturn is known as
the ring planet for its rings. It
is known as gas giant almost
as big as Jupiter. In 2009 , a
huge dust ring was discovered
6 kilometers beyond the main
system . Saturn with an
average radius about 9 times
as of the earth.

URANUS
Uranus is the seventh planet in
the solar system . It has the third
largest radius and the forth largest
planetary mass in the solar
system . Uranus is as same as
Neptune . Uranus is called as blue
planet because of the presence of
methane had made Uranus blue.

NEPTUNE
Neptune is the eighth planet and
the farthest planet in the solar
system. Neptune is the fourth
largest planet by diameter and
third largest planet by mass.
Neptune
has
14
moons
discovered until 20th century. The
temparature in Neptune is really
which may occur to death.
