1 Inner Planets, Venus, And Mercury By Gabriel Ryan F. Jacob

2 What Are the Inner Planets? There are 4 inner planets. They are Earth, Mars, Venus, and Mercury But we are only going to talk about Venus, and Mercury. These four planets are the closest to our sun. Venus and Mercury are the only planets that do not have moons. There are even a few asteroids that have moons. Venus; however, may not have always been moonless.

4 Venus Venus is considered the twin planet of earth because of its similar size and gravity. Venus’s distance from sun is 108 million km. Its distance from the earth is 38 million km. Venus is almost the same size as earth Earth's diameter is 7,926 miles (12,756 kilometers) Venus's diameter is 7,257 miles (11,677 kilometers)

5 Venus Venus is a very dangerous place to live in because of all the volcanoes and lightning storms.lightning storms. It is really hot on Venus because most of its atmosphere is carbon dioxide which makes Venus really hot. This carbon dioxide comes from the volcanoes. Venus spins opposite of all the other planets.Venus spins opposite of all the other planets.

6 Lightning storms Lightning storms in Venus The lighting storms in Venus don’t touch the ground because of the thickness of all the gases and the gravity. On earth lightning hits 3.1 billion times a year In Venus 0.

7 Venus One theory is that a huge meteor crashed into Venus and made it spin the other way and slower. So the sun rises in the west and sets to the east. The amount of sun rise takes 8 earth months until the next sun rise.

8 But that’s not the reason Venus is intolerable its because of its wicked temperature. Venus is the hottest plant in the solar system.

9 Mercury Mercury’s distances from the sun is 36,000,000 miles. From the earth 77 million km (48 million miles). Mercury's size diameter is 4879 km or 3,032 miles. It is the closed to the sun. It has no moon. It has no atmosphere. It is visible on earth on twilight hour's Mercury is the smallest planet or scrawniest planet in the solar system.smallest planet

10 Mercury Since it is so small it can’t produce to much gravity. So if you weigh 150 pounds on earth you would way 57 pounds on Mercury.

11 Mercury It takes about 180 earth days for half a year so Mercury has the record of being the slowest planet spinning. Mercury is a dead planet. On the side Mercury is facing the sun is 800 degrees and on the other side is 300 degrees below 0. The skies are usually black or like stary nights

12 Mercury In earth we are protected by our atmosphere but on Mercury there is no atmosphere so Mercury gets hit by all the asteroids and meteors. This makes Mercury the most heavily cratered planet in the solar system.
