concern to new the sun, together with smaller bodies in the form of asteroids,
skills #2 meteoroids, and comets.

 What is a planet?
 The word planet comes from the word planetai which means
“wandering”.
 The planets in our solar system are divided into two
groups:
 Inner planets or Terrestrial Planets:
 Mercury- nearest planet to the sun.
- Average distance (58 million km from the sun)
- Equatorial diameter (4880 km)
- Takes 88 earth days (revolution)
- Takes 59 earth days (rotation)
- Has a very thin atmosphere, the surface temperature in
the daytime is up to 430°C and -180°C in the nighttime.
- Its surface is full of craters and no moon around it.
 Venus – is the second closest to the sun and is known as a rocky
planet.
- Often called evening star or morning star
- Average distance(108 million km)
- Equatorial diameter (12 104 km)
- Surface temperature of more than 470°C
- Rotates from east to west once every 243 earth days and
revolves around the sun for 225 earth days
- It has no moon and ring around it and is known as
earth’s twin planet.
 Earth – is the only planet that can sustain life and is known as
the blue planet.
- Average distance (149 million km)
- Earth’s atmosphere is made up mostly of 77% nitrogen
gas and 21% oxygen with traces of argon, carbon
dioxide, and water.
- Average surface temperature is 15°C.
- Earth’s surface is 1/3 land and 2/3 water
- Takes 365 ¼ days for the earth to complete revolution,
and 24 hours to complete its rotation.
- Has only one moon that revolves around it every 27.3
days
 Mars – called the red planet.
- Equatorial distance of 6788 km and average distance
from the sun is 227 million km.
 - Average surface temperature of -63°C and has a thin
atmosphere which consists largely of carbon dioxide.
- Has known for many volcanoes and it has one of the
largest volcano in the solar system, the Olympus Mons.
- It takes 687 earth days to complete its revolution and
like earth it takes 24 days to complete its rotation. Mars
has two moons.

 Outer planets or Jovian Planets

 Jupiter – the biggest planet, bigger and heavier.
- Equatorial diameter of 142 984 km and average
distance from the sun 774 million km.
- Covered with thick clouds and is known as a gas giant
planet which is made up mostly of hydrogen and
helium rather than rocks and metals as earth.
- Average surface temperature at the top of its clouds
can reach about -149°C.
- Takes 12 earth years to complete one revolution and
10 hours to complete its rotation.
- Has a huge storm in its atmosphere called a great red
spot
- Has 50 moons with an additional 17 moons recently
discovered and currently being confirmed.
- One of its moons, Ganymede, is the largest in the
solar system.
 Saturn – the sixth planet with an average distance of 1.4 billion
km from it and is the farthest planet visible to the naked eye.
- Has an equatorial diameter of 120 356 km.
- Takes 10.7 earth hours to complete a rotation and 29
earth years to complete a revolution.
- Known as a cold planet and the temperature of the top
can reach about -176°C.
- A gas giant planet composed of hydrogen and helium.
- With 53 known moons, the largest moon is Titan, the
second-largest moon in the solar system.
 Uranus – the seventh and the first planet being discovered with
the use of a telescope.
- An average distance from the sun is 2.9 km billion.
- Considered as an ice giant because it is mostly made up
of frozen water, methane, and ammonia.
- Its atmosphere is mostly hydrogen and helium with an
average temperature of -215°C.
- The only planet that rotates on its side that takes 17
hours to complete its rotation and 84 earth years to
complete a revolution.
- Its equatorial diameter is 51118 km with 11 rings around
it and has 27 moons, the largest of which is the Titania.
 Neptune – the first planet being discovered using mathematical
calculations before being confirmed by a telescope.
- Its average distance is 4.5 billion km, equatorial diameter
of 49 532 km, and a surface temperature of -214°C.
- Its rotation lasts for 16 hours and completes one
revolution every 165 earth days.
- Neptune and Uranus are called twin planets because
they have about the same size, mass, and color blue-
green due to methane gas
- It has six dark rings made up of very tiny particles and
has 13 moons, the largest of which is called Triton.
