VenusVenus looks a little like Mercury however it isn’t because Venus is brighter than Mercury.

Facts...

•A day on Venus lasts longer than a year.•Venus is often called the Earth’s sister planet.•Venus rotates counter-clockwise because it’s an retrograde rotation. A possible reason might be a collision with an asteroid in the past or another object caused the planet to alter its rotational path.•Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky.

Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system. The average surface temperature is 462 °C, and because Venus does not tilt on its axis, there is no seasonal variation. The dense atmosphere of around 96.5 percent carbon dioxide traps heat and causes a greenhouse effect.

Earth is the third planet from the Sun and is the largest of the terrestrial planets. Unlike the other planets in the solar system that are named after classic deities the Earth’s name comes from the Anglo-Saxon word erda which means ground or soil.

JupiterJupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and is the largest planet in the solar system.

Facts…It is not known when Jupiter was discovered The earliest record of Jupiter is from Babylonian texts dating from the 7th or 8th century BC.Jupiter is named after the king of the Roman gods –.Jupiter’s most recognisable feature is the Great Red Storm – This is a storm that has been raging for at least 350 years and is large enough for two Earths to fit inside of.

SaturnSaturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and is named after the Roman god of wealth. Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system and is best known for its fabulous rings. The rings were not known however predicted by the Dogon Tribe. to exist until Galileo first observed them in 1610.
