Scientists believe there are more
planets around a different star in space somewhere. They reckon there might be
another earth we can live on.
There are eight planets; some are
made of iron, gas, fire and rock.
Mercury is grey, the smallest and
the closest planet to the sun. Orbiting the sun is what it does. The planet
Mercury is a sphere made of iron. Its name is named after the winged messenger
of the Roman Gods. The planet Mercury is very small that it’s smaller than
earth’s moon. Mercury has no moons.
Uranus is bluey green. It was
discovered on the 13th of March 1781. The planet is the 2nd
last planet away from the sun. It has rings that people can’t see. The planet
orbits the sun. Uranus is the 3rd biggest planet in the solar
system. (25,362km)
Mars is called the red planet
because it is red. The planet has volcanoes, a hard dessert and a rocky
surface. The distance from the sun is 227,900,000. It has two moons, Phobos and
Deimos. It takes 6 months to travel to mars. Mars has a face. About 50 space
probes have gone to Mars.
