Hi my name is caylee and I am going to talk about the solar system and the planet so lets get raddie and we are going to do 10 fact about the planet ok go 

Sun 

First is the sun but the sun is not a planet it is a star but it is a part of the  solar system  ok and the sun is the hottest star in the  solar system.

Mercury 

• Smallest Planet: Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. 
• Closest to the Sun: It orbits closer to the Sun than any other planet. 
• Fastest Orbit: Mercury has the shortest orbital period, completing a revolution around the Sun in just 88 Earth days. 
• Extreme Temperatures: Mercury experiences the most significant temperature differences between day and night, ranging from scorching hot to extremely cold. 
• Heavily Cratered Surface: Like Earth’s moon, Mercury’s surface is covered in impact craters. 
• No Moons: Mercury is one of the few planets in our solar system without any moons. 
• Thin Exosphere: Instead of a true atmosphere, Mercury has a very thin exosphere composed of atoms blasted off its surface. 
• Slow Rotation: It takes 59 Earth days for Mercury to complete one rotation on its axis, resulting in long days and nights. 
• Ancient Scarring: The Caloris Basin, one of Mercury’s largest craters, is a result of a massive asteroid impact early in the solar system’s history. 
• Ice at the Poles: Despite its proximity to the Sun, Mercury has been found to have water ice in permanently shadowed craters at its poles. 

Venus 

•  Hottest Planet:
  Despite being further from the sun than Mercury, Venus is the hottest planet in our solar system due to a runaway greenhouse effect caused by its thick atmosphere. 
• 2. Thick Atmosphere:
  Venus has a dense atmosphere composed mainly of carbon dioxide, with clouds of sulfuric acid. 
• 3. Extreme Surface Temperature:
  The surface temperature on Venus can reach 471°C (880°F), hot enough to melt lead. 
• 4. High Atmospheric Pressure:
  The atmospheric pressure on Venus is 90 times greater than Earth’s, making it feel like being 900 meters underwater. 
• 5. Retrograde Rotation:
  Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most other planets, including Earth, meaning the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. 
• 6. Slow Rotation:
  A day on Venus (243 Earth days) is longer than a year on Venus (225 Earth days). 
• 7. No Moons or Rings:
  Venus has no natural moons or rings. 
• 8. Similar Size to Earth:
  Venus has a similar size and mass to Earth. 
• 9. Volcanic Activity:
  Venus has a geologically active surface with evidence of past and present volcanism. 
• 10. Brightest Object (after Sun and Moon):
  Venus is the brightest object in the sky after the Sun and Moon, and is often visible as the “morning star” or “evening star”. 

Earth 

• Earth isn’t actually round.
• Coral reefs are Earth’s largest living structure.
• Earth has a squishy interior.
• Antarctica is home to the largest ice sheet on Earth.
• The Moon is drifting away from Earth.
• Atacama is the driest place on Earth.
• Earth’s magnetic pole is creeping westward.

Mars 

• Red Planet: Mars is known for its reddish appearance, caused by iron oxide (rust) on its surface. 
• Roman God of War: The planet is named after the Roman god of war. 
• Two Moons: Mars has two small moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are thought to be captured asteroids. 
• Thin Atmosphere: Mars has a very thin atmosphere, mostly composed of carbon dioxide. 
• Seasons: Mars has seasons, similar to Earth, but they last longer due to its longer orbital period. 
• Olympus Mons: The largest volcano and mountain in the solar system, Olympus Mons, is located on Mars. 
• Valles Marineris: Mars is home to Valles Marineris, a vast canyon system that stretches for thousands of kilometers. 
• Cold Temperatures: Mars is a very cold planet, with average temperatures far below freezing. 
• Evidence of Water: There’s evidence that liquid water may have flowed on Mars in the past, and some evidence suggests it might still exist in some locations. 
• Dust Storms: Mars experiences massive dust storms that can engulf the entire planet. 

Jupiter
Gas Giant: Jupiter is primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, lacking a solid surface. 

• Massive Size: It’s the largest planet, with a diameter 11 times that of Earth. 
• Great Red Spot: This massive storm has been raging for at least 350 years. 
• Moons: Jupiter has 95 confirmed moons, including the four Galilean moons (Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto). 
• Rings: It has a faint ring system, though not as prominent as Saturn’s. 
• Strong Magnetic Field: Jupiter’s magnetic field is exceptionally powerful, 20,000 times stronger than Earth’s. 
• Shortest Day: Jupiter rotates faster than any other planet, with a day lasting just under 10 hours. 
• Orbital Period: It takes Jupiter nearly 12 Earth years to orbit the Sun. 
• Protective Role: Jupiter’s gravity helps to deflect asteroids and comets, potentially protecting the inner planets. 
• Not a Star: Despite its size, Jupiter is not massive enough to become a star. 

Saturn 

•  Ringed Beauty:
  Saturn is famous for its stunning ring system, composed of countless ice and rock particles ranging in size from pebbles to houses. 
• 2. Gas Giant:
  It’s primarily composed of hydrogen and helium, lacking a solid surface. 
• 3. Low Density:
  Saturn is the least dense planet in our solar system, so much so that it would float in water. 
• 4. Moons Galore:
  Saturn has 146 moons, the most of any planet in the solar system, according to Twinkl. 
• 5. Titan:
  Saturn’s largest moon, Titan, is notable for having a dense atmosphere thicker than Earth’s. 
• 6. Fast Rotation:
  Saturn spins rapidly on its axis, with a day lasting just over 10 hours. 
• 7. Oblate Spheroid:
  Due to its fast rotation, Saturn is flattened at the poles and bulging at the equator, resembling an oblate spheroid. 
• 8. Ancient Name:
  Saturn is named after the Roman god of agriculture and wealth, according to Twinkl. 
• 9. Windy Planet:
  Saturn experiences some of the strongest winds in the solar system, reaching speeds up to 1,100 mph (1,800 km/h). 
• 10. Exploration:
  Four spacecraft have visited Saturn: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and Cassini, which provided extensive data. 

Uranus 

•  Ice Giant:
  Uranus is classified as an ice giant, primarily composed of icy materials like water, ammonia, and methane, surrounding a rocky core. 
• 2. Tilted Axis:
  Unlike most planets that rotate upright, Uranus rotates on its side, with its axis tilted at a 97.77-degree angle. 
• 3. Extreme Seasons:
  Due to its tilted axis, Uranus experiences extreme seasons, with each pole facing 42 years of continuous sunlight followed by 42 years of darkness. 
• 4. Coldest Planet:
  Uranus holds the record for the coldest temperature in our solar system, with a minimum temperature of -224°C (-371°F). 
• 5. Faint Rings:
  Uranus has a system of 13 faint rings, composed of dark, narrow rings made up of dust-sized particles. 
• 6. 27 Moons:
  Uranus has 27 known moons, with the five largest being Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.

Neptune

•  Furthest Planet:
  Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun in our solar system. 
• 2. Ice Giant:
  It’s classified as an ice giant, meaning it’s primarily composed of icy materials like water, methane, and ammonia above a rocky core. 
• 3. Blue Color:
  Neptune’s blue color is due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere, which absorbs red light. 
• 4. Faint Rings:
  Neptune has a system of faint rings, though they are much less prominent than those of Saturn. 
• 5. Strong Winds:
  It experiences some of the strongest winds in the solar system, reaching supersonic speeds. 
• 6. Great Dark Spot:
  Neptune has a “Great Dark Spot,” a storm system similar to Jupiter’s Great Red Spot, though it has since disappeared. 
• 7. Numerous Moons:
  Neptune has at least 14 known moons, with Triton being the largest and most notable. 
• 8. Unusual Magnetic Field:
  Its magnetic field is significantly tilted relative to its rotational axis.

• 10. Discovered by Math:
  Neptune’s existence was predicted mathematically before it was actually observed with a telescope. 

Hi my name is Caylee. My animation is all about the sun,moon and the earth that we all live on. The first thing I animated was the sun. The first thing I drew on my sun was the red part if you can see it and then I did the same thing but a different colour and it was yellow. I did the same thing but I used orange. Then I drew my moon and my earth on my moon. I started to do a gray doit and pot black spots and then on my earth I did the same thing as the sun but blue and I did Islands.
