Mercury Facts Distance from Sun Varies between 27 million miles and 41 million miles Number of Moons None Diameter 3,000 miles Length of Day 176 Earth days Length of Year 88 Earth days Named for Roman god of commerce Visited by Mariner 10 Mercury - the Winged Messenger Tiny Mercury is the second smallest planet in our solar system, only Pluto is smaller. As a matter of fact, there are two moons in the solar system that are larger than this planet! Jupiter's moon Ganymede and Saturn's moon Titan are both larger than the closest planet to the Sun. In addition, the surface temperature on Mercury varies widely, with the side of the planet facing the Sun having an average temperature of over 650 degrees Fahrenheit, while the "dark" side of the planet has an average temperature less than 270 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. Even though Mercury is one of our closest planetary neighbors, we don't know a whole lot about it. It has only been visited by one spacecraft, Mariner 10. Since the planet is so close to the Sun, it's not safe to have the Hubble Space Telescope take pictures of it.

It is about 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 164.79 years. Rotates on its axis about the same speed as Uranus. It completes one rotation in about 18 hours and 26 minutes. Has a weather system that is very active. Some storms with winds of 400 miles per hour have lasted for hundreds of years on its surface. Has a total of 8 satellites (or moons).

Neptune Facts Distance from Sun Approximately 2.8 billion miles Number of Moons At least 11 Diameter Approximately 31,000 miles Length of Day 16 Earth hours Length of Year 165 Earth years Name Roman god of the sea. Visited by Voyager 2 A Windy, Cold Blue World Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and, at this distance, the Sun looks a whole lot like the other stars that would be visible from this planet. Actually, there are times when Neptune is the furthest planet from the Sun. Pluto, which has a very elliptical orbit, is sometimes closer to the Sun that Neptune for a period of time, but, for the most part, Neptune is closer to the Sun than Pluto. Neptune was also the last planet visited by Voyager 2 before it left our solar system. Before the arrival of the Voyager mission in 1989, we knew very little about this planet because of its great distance from us. As usual, though, Voyager's visit gave us a lot of surprises. We found out that is was a very cold, windy place with very interesting clouds and a moon that actually had "geysers" something like the ones we have here on Earth. In addition, the history-making mission discovered an additional six moons that were unknown to us. All in all, Neptune turned out to be a big surprise to almost everybody.

Mars Facts Distance from Sun Approximately 137 million miles Number of Moons Two Diameter 4070 miles Length of Day 24 Earth hours Length of Year 687 Earth days Name Comes from the Roman god of war. Visited by Mariner, Viking, Pathfinder, Mars Observer, Climate Orbiter The Red Planet Mars, probably more than any of our solar system neighbors, has had, and continues to have, a very large impact on our social, scientific and cultural lives. Throughout history, the appearance of Mars in the sky, with its somewhat ominous red color, has been interpreted as an omen that something important, and usually bad, was about to happen. Wars have been started, rulers have been overthrown and, in the case of the famous "War of the Worlds" broadcast in 1938, entire populations have been thrown into panic. Countless books, both fiction and non-fiction, have been written about Mars and Hollywood has churned out lots of movies, both good and bad, about what might happen when we visit Mars or when the imagined inhabitants of Mars visit us. Modern science, using information from both past and current spacecraft, paints a more fascinating picture of the Red Planet than even the movie industry has been able to dream up.

The Topic: Astronomy Easier - Astronomy is the study of things found in space such as the sun, planets, moons, and stars. Harder - Astronomy, one of the oldest sciences, is the study of celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and other objects in space. Astronomers locate objects in the daytime or nighttime skies and measure their magnitudes and motions, searching to find what they are made of and how they create their light.

ASTEROIDS Are also known as the Minor Planets. Orbit the Sun mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Usually range in size from 1 kilometer to 1000 kilometers across. Are difficult to observe because of their small size. Gaspra (above) and Ida (right) are two known Asteroids. Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta are some other of the larger Asteroids. Sometimes have moons that orbit them. Notice the small moon that orbits Ida (right).

Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand. Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles of the Sun contains asteroids that are made of metals. The outer belt, which includes asteroids 250 million miles beyond the Sun, consists of rocky asteroids. These asteroids appear darker than the asteroids of the inner belt, and are rich in carbon.
