Earth and Space

I am full of water!

Who am I?

I am Earth the biggest and third planet from the Sun

I am the only planet that supports life.

I am not named after any Roman or Greek god

Can you imagine ? I was created almost 4.45 billion years ago (I am quite old)

I am a rocky, earthly planet

I have solid and active surface with mountains, valleys, canyons, plains and much more.

70 percent of my surface is covered in water.

My atmosphere is made mostly of nitrogen and has plenty of oxygen for us to breathe.

my day is a little less than 24 hours

Every 4 years you will find in my calendar an extra day. This day is called “leap day”, which makes the total of the year 366 instead of 365.

.

Fiery Sun

Hi my name is Mercury.

I am the tinniest planet in the solar system.

I am a little bit bigger than Earth’s moon.

I am not the hottest here although I am the nearest to the sun

I am the simplest of them all as I don’t have either any moons or atmosphere.

I am one of the rocky planets. I have a solid surface that is covered with caters.

I rotate slowly that is why my day is longer than a day on earth.

My year ends quickly  as I am the closest to the sun so it does not take a long time to go around it.

Did you know that if you lived on me, your birthday will come a lot every 3 months yayy.

Do you like the sunrise and sunset? If so, then Mercury is not the correct place for you as it has only one sunrise every 180 days.

Venus:

Even though I am not the nearest planet to the sun, I am the hottest. I have a dense atmosphere full of greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and a layer of sulfuric acid.

My gas absorbs heat and holds me dry. In reality, it's so hot on me that metals like lead will be puddles of molten ice. 

I am a very active planet. I have mountains and volcanoes.

I am very close in dimension to Earth.

What is unique about me? I am unusual because I spin the opposite direction of Earth and most other planets.

Mars

 I am not just a chocolate. I am a planet that is half the size of earth you live on.

Red is my color because of the rusty iron in the ground.                                One day on me lasts around 24.6 hours just a little longer than a day on Earth is.

Did you know that a year on me is way longer than usual ?? it is almost twice the length of my friend Earth.

I am lucky enough to have 2 moons: Phobos and Deimos and 2 neighbors: Earth and Jupiter oh I forgot… I am the fourth planet from my friend sun.

I have been known since forever (yess I am quite old) I can be seen without that big thingy that is called telescope.

Who am I?

I am a star and I am in the middle of the solar system.

Apparently, I am known to have the biggest mass in our solar system.

earth circles around me in 365 days. Can you believe that is a whole year!

Every 25-36 earth days, I rotate

My energy travels outward.

The inner core is the hottest part of me and can reach 27 billion Fahrenheit.

I transmit few different kinds of energy to Earth. There's infrared radiation, which is me. There's visible light, which is what our eyes can see. There is ultraviolet light, too, which we cannot see but it can burn our skin

You can cover your skin to block ultraviolet rays from reaching you. Clothing and caps are a perfect way to drive the waves away. Sunblock includes chemicals that can keep ultraviolet radiation from you

keeping the skin clear of sunburn.

I am here for you to keep you warm.

Neptune

I am dark, cold and very windy.

I am the farthest from the sun.

Uranus is my friend as we are very similar we are both blue and have rings but mine are hard to be seen. I am also made of a thick fog of water, ammonia, and methane over an Earth-sized solid center.

My day is sixteen hours long and I circle my friend sun in 165 Earth years.

I have 13 moons so far and my only neighbor is Uranus

I am uranaus 

Hi I am made of water, methane and ammonia fluids above the small rocky center.

I am a giant made of ice

My atmosphere is made of hydrogen and Helium just like my friends Jupiter and Saturn. My favorite color is blue because I have methane too. I have 2 types of rings inner &outer. The inner ones are both narrow and dark. The outer ones are full of colors and can be easily seen.

I am the only planet that rotates on it is side. (I am very special right??)

One day on me lasts 17 hours and 14 minutes  

Your birthday will come once every 84 years as one year on me equals 84 on Earth

I have 27 moons (quite a lot…) I am also the 7th planet from my friend sun. My 2 neighbors are Saturn and Neptune.

I am a dwarf planet

I am half the width of the united states

I make an oval shaped path around the sun.

My moon”Charon” is half my size and you can see it only from one side of me.

My day is six and a half earth days

The temperature on my surface is around 400 degrees below zero Fahrenheit.

If you stand on me the sun looks like a bright dot in the sky.

If you weigh 100 pounds on Earth, you would weigh only 7 pounds on me
