Venus Facts Distance from Sun Approximately 67 million miles Number of Moons None Diameter 7,200 miles Length of Day 243 Earth days Length of Year 225 Earth days Named for Roman goddess of beauty Visited by Galileo, Magellan, Mariner 10 and others Beauty Can Be Only Skin Deep The second planet from the Sun has been named for the Roman goddess of love and beauty. When you see it in the morning or evening sky, or if you are lucky enough to have a telescope, you would agree with this name. However, if you were unfortunate enough to be dropped onto the surface of this planet, you would find that it is a very unpleasant place indeed. The atmosphere of Venus is made up almost entirely of clouds of sulfuric acid, the temperature stays constant at around nine hundred degrees Fahrenheit and winds on the surface blow constantly at hundreds of miles per hour. The atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus is much like that in the ocean here on Earth at a depth of around half a mile. It is an extremely dangerous place, and the two spacecraft that have landed on Venus have managed to survive for just long enough to send back a few pictures before they were crushed by the pressure of the atmosphere and melted by the extremely high temperatures.

URANUS Is composed mainly of hydrogen and helium gases. Its mass (weight) is over 14 times that of the Earth. Its diameter is 4 times that of our planet. Is the seventh planet in order from the Sun. It is about 2.9 billion kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 84 years. Rotates on its axis about the same speed as the Neptune. It completes one rotation in about 17 hours and 14 minutes. Can sometimes be seen with the naked eye. Has a total of 15 satellites (or moons).

Visited by Voyager 2 A Seemingly Featureless Planet Uranus, along with Neptune and Pluto, is in the most distant region of our solar system. The giant planet, which is another of the gas giants of our solar system, is more than twice as far away from the Sun as Saturn. If you get a chance to look at Uranus through a telescope, all you will see is a faint blue disk that appears exceptionally dull and lifeless. Even pictures sent back by the Voyager mission and the Hubble Space Telescope seem to show that Uranus is a dull, unexciting place. As always, though, things aren't what they seem. Uranus has many interesting features, including its ring system, varied moons and much more. The bland face that the planet shows to us humans hides high speed winds, the fact that Uranus is tilted on its side and a very mysterious weather system.

Saturn Facts Distance from Sun Approximately 856 million miles Number of Moons At least 34 Diameter Approximately 75,000 miles Length of Day 10 hours, 39 minutes Length of Year 29.5 years Name Roman god of agriculture Visited by Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Cassini (2004) The Solar System's "Lord of the Rings" Saturn has been a source of wonder and amazement for Earth dwellers since ancient history. This sense of wonder increased in 1610 when Galileo turned his first telescope on this giant planet and was the first person to see Saturn's beautiful ring system. What Galileo saw, although he didn't see it clearly, was the beautiful system of rings that surround the giant planet. His early telescope wasn't good enough to show details in the rings, so he wasn't quite sure what he was seeing, but he certainly realized that it was something very special. (Saturn was the first planet I ever saw through my telescope and I will never forget how stunning it was to see the rings for the first time.) The advantage that we have now is that we can see the rings of Saturn using almost any moderately priced telescope. A good telescope allows us to see that there isn't just one ring around Saturn, but that what appears to be one ring through a low powered telescope is revealed as a complicated system of rings through a good telescope.

35. Astronomy For Kids Provides a picture and brief facts about the planet. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/pluto.html

PLUTO Is the smallest planet. Its mass (weight) is 1/500th that of the Earth. Its diameter is about 1/6 that of our planet. Is the ninth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 5.9 billion kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 248 years. Rotates on its axis slowly when compared to Earth. It completes one rotation in about 6 days and 9 minutes. Is sometimes known as a double-planet because it has a moon (Charon) that orbits it. Has a total of 1 satellite (or moons).

Pluto Facts Average Distance from Sun Approximately 3.6 billion miles Number of Moons One Diameter 1417 miles Length of Day Over 6 Earth days Length of Year 248 Earth years Name Comes from the Roman god of the underworld. Small, Cold, Dark and Lonely Pluto The last member of our family of planets is Pluto. At an average distance of over three billion miles from the Sun, Pluto, and its tiny moon Charon, are very much off by themselves. Pluto is so small that six moons of the solar system are larger than this small planet. As a matter of fact, there has been a lot of discussion about whether Pluto is a planet at all, given the fact that it is so tiny and its orbit is both an exaggerated ellipse and doesn't fall into the same plane as the orbits of the rest of the planets. If we had it to do over again, Pluto would probably not be classified as a planet, but as a large asteroid. We have been calling it a planet for so long it seems like a shame to change it now, though. Image courtesy of: Hubble Space Telescope An Unknown Icy World Pluto is so far away that even the mighty Hubble Space Telescope can't get us a very good picture. The image at right is the best image to date we have of this distant world. Very little is known about Pluto except that it is very, very cold and exceptionally dark. At this distance, the Sun is very much like all the rest of the stars you would see from its surface.

Astronomy You Are Here: BellaOnline Education Astronomy Lea Terry BellaOnline's Astronomy Editor Astronomy for Kids - The Planet Neptune Talk about mistaken identity! When the planet Neptune was first seen, the astronomer who saw it thought it was a star. And when astronomers found out what Neptune really was, it was because they were studying another planet. We still have a lot to learn about Neptune, but here’s some of what we know so far: Q: How was Neptune discovered? A: Neptune was first seen in 1613, by Galileo Galilei, a scientist from Italy. He only saw the planet for two nights, and wasn’t able to find out much about it. Because of this, he thought it was a star instead of a planet. Neptune had to wait almost 200 years for someone to discover what it really was. Astronomers were actually studying another planet, Uranus. They noticed that Uranus didn’t behave the way they expected it to. The only reason they could think of was that there was another planet nearby. This planet must be having an effect on how Uranus moved. So, two different mathematicians, who were working on the problem separately, tried to figure out where this unknown planet could be. By studying other planets in the same area, they used math to predict where this other planet was. Astronomer Johann Galle found the planet in 1846, very close to where the two mathematicians said it would be. (The two mathematicians, John Couch Adams and Urbain Leverrier, became good friends.)

MERCURY Is about the same size as the Moon. Its mass (weight) is 1/20th that of the Earth. Its diameter is 2/5 that of our planet. Is the closest planet to the Sun. It is about 58 million kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 87.97 days. Rotates on its axis very slowly compared to Earth. It completes one rotation in about 58 days and 15 minutes. Is covered with mountains, craters, ridges and valleys. Has no satellites.
