5 Sun Angelena The Sun is in the of the Solar System. The Sun is a red and orange star. The red and orange come from the heat locked inside. ( On the surface of the Sun their is waves. The reason the Sun looks like it has waves is because heats trying to come out. ( The Sun is 1,390,000 km. Its bigger than any planet! ( The Sun is in the middle of Solar System. The Sun is Earths ultimate energy source.( The Sun no moons. Here are some interesting facts about the Sun. The Sun is 4.6 billon years old also in ancient Greece the Sun was called Helios.
6 The Sun is our nearest star even though its 90 million miles away. ( The Sun is a hot planet! Resources
7 Mercury Andre My planet I m studying on is mercury. Mercury is a tanish brown planet. It is that because a lot of gas is around it. Also Mercury has cater on it. ( fact.com). Also Mercury is the closet planet to the sun( Mercury). Also, the size of Mercury is small. the diameter of Mercury is 58 million km (Mercury). Mercury has no life or no air. The temperature on Mercury on the dark side can go to 271 Celsius (Mercury). Mercury has no food because it is the planet to the sun. My planet is by the sun.(mercury). Mercury can go up to 950. It takes 88 day for a year. Water doesn t exist (Mercury). An thats the the planet I study on.

9 Venus Dalton Venus is one of the planets in our solar system. Venus is covered with water vapor and sulpheric acid (solar system).it looks like the sun.it looks this because it is covered by gases science. Venus is 7,521 miles in diameter (venus).it is about the same size as earth (venus).venus is the second planet in the solar system (solar system).venus can be seen from earth (solar system).
10 Venus has no moons.it also is the hottest planet (science).it can reach up to 900 degrees fahrenheit (solar system)!that is 400 degrees hotter than an oven. RESOURCES BOOKS Venus Mars and the inner planets WEBSITES
11 Venus Jada The plant Venus is fascinating! Venus look s like fire. This is because all the heat that s trapped in.the design of venus is fire (nasa s kid s club). Venus is about 9,590 km from the sun.venus is about the same size as Earth. Venus is the 2nd plant from the sun. Another fact is location from the sun is million miles. The size of venus is and it s half earth size (plants for kids). Venus has no moons. Venus s atmosphere is made mostly of carbon dioxide. Venus take days to complete one orbit around the sun. And venus has no oceans (fun solar system) Resources (fun solar system) (plants for kids) (nasa s kids club)
12 Earth Caroline Earth is a planet in the solar system. The color of my planet is blue white and green because soils and rocks as seen from a distance makes the earth look blue, white, and green. The earth is shaped like a sphere. (planet for kids.com).i The earth s size is 40,075. the space of the earth is.the earth is the third planet from our sun in the solar system ( People live on earth. There is grass there, gravity, water, and animals. Earth has one moon. The earth is a planet that people live on. The earth is around 4.6. billon years old. Earth is the fifth largest planet in the solar system(

14 Mars Josh Mars is part of the solar system. Mars is mostly orange. Iron oxide, or rust gives Mars it s color (planet facts.com). It s mostly orange but it has a big white spot (Mars). Mars is 0.107x earth. It is 4,221 miles long(mars). It s142miles away from the sun(mars). The fourth planet from the sun(mars). Mars has two moons. One moon is small and ones big. It rotates in 24 hours and 37 min. Mars temperature gets down to 23* F and up to 268* F. So this is all about Mars. Resources Mars by Steven L. Kipp Planet facts
15 Mars Kyle Do you know about Mars? It is red because of it s rocks and sand. And because of it s rocks and sand it has lots of swirls(mars). Mars is 4,218 miles wide, that is smaller that Earth ( Mars is the 4th planet in the solar system,that is between Earth & Jupiter( Mars has 2 moons Phobos and Deimos. Phobos is moving closer to Mars each year, so in about 50,000 years no one will ever see it because it is probably going to crash in to Mars forming rings around it like the outer planets (
16 Mars has lots of peeks. One of those peeks is 2.5 million km high,that is 3 times higher than Mount Everest, wow that is high. Now you know more about Mars. Resources Mars (
17 Jupiter Maddy M Jupiter is a planet in the solar system. Jupiter is kind of reddish. It is red because red clouds cover it s surface (Planet facts.com). Jupiter looks like it has a dark red spot that is bigger than earth. (Smithsonian website about planets). Jupiter is 89,405 miles in diameter. Jupiter s mass is times Earth s mass(welcome to the planets). Jupiter is the fifth planet from the sun. Jupiter is also 483,700,000 miles from the sun(the planets). According to A Guide To The Planets Jupiter has 63 moons. Also Jupiter s moons are pretty big and they have names but there are too many to say. Did you know that Galileo discovered 4 of Jupiter s moons and they are called the
18 gallelaen moons. Jupiter is named after Zeus or the romans would call him Jupiter (Jupiter). Jupiter has rings just like Saturn but they are too dark to see(the planets). Did you know that the dark red spot on Jupiter is actually a storm (planet facts). Don t you agree that Jupiter is an interesting planet.
