PLANETS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM

PLANETS OF THE SOLAR SYSTEM



1. Mercury

The smallest planet in the Solar System, Mercury is also the closest to the Sun. With little atmosphere and a slow rate of spin, on its long days and nights it goes from being hot enough to melt lead to cold enough to liquefy air.


2. Venus


Our planets's inner neighbour, Venus is sometimes described as Earth's twin, because the pair are similar in size, structure, and composition. But beneath Venus's dense clouds lies a scorching surface dominated by volcanism.



3.Earth
3.Bumi

The third planet from the Sun, Earth has many unique features. It is the only planet known to have an active plate-tectonics system, water flowing freely on its surface, and abundant life.




4. Mars
4. Mars

Water flowed across its surface in the long-distant past, but today the Red Planet-as Mars is known-is a cold, dry world, its surface sliced by a huge system of deep canyons and studded with giant, extinct volcanoes.




5. Jupiter
5. Jupiter



Within the Solar System, Jupiter is second only to the Sun in size and mass. Named after the most important Roman god, it is almost 2.5 times the mass of the other seven planets combined and has a large family of orbiting moons.


 
6. Saturn  
6. Saturnus

Pale yellow Saturn is distinguished from all other Solar System planets by the magnificent rings that girdle its equator. Saturn is the second-largest planets, with a large family of moons, it has been under intense scrutiny ever since the Cassini spacecraft moved into orbit around it in 2004.


7. Uranus
7. Uranus


Uranus is a blue, featureless world surrounded by a ring system and a family of moons. Its unremarkable stance is deceptive, and its sideways stance and long seasons make it stand out from the other planets.





8. Neptune
8. Neptunus

The outermost planet, Neptune is one of the coldest place in the Solar System. It is 30 times further from the Sun than Earth, and its cloud-top temperature is a freezing -201 C      (-330 F). Just one spacecraft, Voyager 2, has journeyed out to Neptune and shown us the planet and its rings and moon.
