  2. Mercury Mercury is the innermost and smallest planet in the solar system, orbiting the Sun once every 88 days. It appears as a bright star from Earth. Mercury is similar to the Moon; it is heavily cratered, and has no substantial atmosphere. However, unlike the moon, it has a large iron core, which gives it a magnetic field (only about 1% as strong as Earth's). Its surface temperature ranges between -300 F and 800 F - It is coldest in craters near the poles, which never receive much solar heating.

  3. Venus Diameter: 12,104 km (7,522 miles) Distance from Sun: 108 million km (67 million miles) Venus is the second closest planet to the sun between Earth and Mercury. Venus is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.
