  2. Mercury • Atmosphere: Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, argon • Named after the messenger of the roman gods • Length of day:58.646 earth days • Average distance from the sun:36 million miles • Closest planet to the sun and has the shortest orbit which is 88 days

  3. Venus • Atmosphere: Carbon Dioxide, nitrogen • Named after the roman goddess of love and beauty • Surface temp:864 degrees F(average) • Length of day: 117 days • Average distance from sun: 67,237, 910 miles • Also referred to as the ‘morning star’ and ‘evening star’ • surface is hot enough to melt lead

  4. Mars • Atmosphere: carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon. • Named after the Roman god of war • Minimum temp: -125 degrees F • Maximum: 23 degrees F • Distance from sun: 141,633,260 • Sometimes Called the red planet • Has red, iron-oxide rich soil

  5. Jupiter • Atmosphere: Hydrogen and helium • Surface temp: -165 degrees F • Length of day: .41354 earth days • Named after the ruler of the roman gods • Gas planet • Has a huge red spot • Largest planet in the solar system

  6. Saturn • Atmosphere: Hydrogen and helium • Surface temp: -218 degrees F • Distance from the sun: 885,904,700 miles • Named after roman god of agriculture • has rings

  7. Uranus • 84 earth days= year • Atmosphere=hydrogen, helium, methane • Named after the roman god who was the father of the titans • Length of day= .7196 earth days • Surface temp= -323 degrees • Distance from the sun=1,783,939,400

  8. Why Pluto isn’t a planet • Criteria to be a planet • Must be in orbit around the sun • Have sufficient mass to assume hydrostatic equilibrium. • Must be gravitationally dominant in its orbit. Pluto isn't gravitationally dominant in its orbit and therefore was downgraded to a dwarf planet.
