Solar System

• The planet Mercury is located in the Solar System.

How Far It Is From The Sun

• Mercury is the the closest planet to the sun.

• This planet is 27 million miles away from the sun and also 70 million kilometers away.Mercury

The Size Of Mercury

• Mercury is

3.3 x 1023kg and 3,031 miles in diameter

Mercury Weather

The atmosphere is filled with hydrogen and helium.

Length of day

The length of day is 1407.6 hours

Also the length of year is 88 earth days.

Amazing Fact

An amazing fact about Mercury is ; it actually has a very thin atmosphere consisting of atoms blasted of its surface by solar wind.

Because Mercury is so hot,these atoms quickly escaped into space

Earth

The distance between the sun and

earth is an average of 93,000,000 Miles

Now that we know where and how big…

The earth is made of many different layers. These layers are made up of different materials and consistencies.

The inner core is hotter than the surface of the sun!

The earth is like a Jawbreaker.

Earth’s Orbital periodIt actually takes the earth 365 days, 6 hours,9 minutes, And 9.5 seconds to orbit (travel around

An object from one point and Back to that same point) the sun.Ever wonder why we have leap years? The 6 hoursMakes 1/4 of a day - every 4 years!

Earth’s axis

Planet Earth spins Around On an imaginary pole Called an axis. This axis Is tilted at an angle of 23.45º. The time it takes The earth to spin around once is 23.93 hours or 23 hours and 56 minutes

Size

The earth has a diameter

Of 7,926 miles or 12,756 Km

A circumference

Of 24,901.55 miles

Or 40,075.16 KM

The earth is the fifth (5th) planet in size.

Earth’s mass

The mass of the earth is 5.98 X 1024 kg, or 598,000,000,000,000, 000 ,000,000,000 kg!

Can you believe this guy?!?! I mean he really thinks he can hold up Planet earth.

Density - mass per unit of volume of a substance

If Water’s density is 1,027kg/m3, and earth’s density is 5,520kg/m3, then the earth will sink if we had a jar big enough to hold the earth and enough water to test this fact.

gravity

Unlike the moon’s gravity of 17% of earth’s, earth actually has a gravity of 1. This means that if you have a 100lb. Person on the earth they will weigh 100lbs., On the moon they will only weigh 17lbs.
