The sun The sun contains 99.86% of the mass of the entire solar system. It powerful gravity attracts everything else in the solar system towards it. The sun has dark areas called sunspots . The sunspots are cooler than the rest of the sun.

Mercury Mercury is 36 million miles away from the sun! Mercury moves at 107,373 miles per hour! Mercury is much like Earth’s moon with it’s craters and rocky surface.

Venus Venus is so close to Earth in size that it’s often called Earths twin. Venus is the hottest planet !! Venus is also the brightest planet!

EARTH!! Earth is 93 million miles away from the sun!! Earth has 21% oxygen in it’s atmosphere. It takes Earth 365.26 Earth days to orbit the sun!!

MARS Mars Is nicknamed the red planet because it has a mineral called iron oxide present on its surface . It takes mars 687days to orbit the sun. During a mars winter 20%of the air is frozen!!

Neptune It takes Neptune 165 Earth years to orbit the sun. THE climate is very active with large storms whirling through the atmosphere. Their can be high-speed winds that reach 1,342miles per hour.
