Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest planet in our solar system. It has a rocky surface covered in craters, similar to our Moon. Due to its proximity to the Sun, temperatures can reach up to 800°F (427°C) during the day!

Venus is often called Earth's twin because of its similar size, but it's actually very different! It has a thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide that creates a runaway greenhouse effect, making it the hottest planet in our solar system.

Earth is the only known planet with liquid water on its surface and the only planet known to support life. It has one natural satellite, the Moon, and a perfect combination of conditions that make it habitable.

Mars is known as the Red Planet due to its reddish appearance caused by iron oxide (rust) on its surface. It has the largest volcano in the solar system, Olympus Mons, and evidence suggests it once had flowing water on its surface.

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system! It's a gas giant with a Great Red Spot that's actually a giant storm that's been raging for hundreds of years. It has at least 79 moons, including the four large Galilean moons.

Saturn is famous for its stunning ring system made up of ice particles, rocky debris, and dust. While other gas giants have rings, Saturn's are by far the most spectacular and visible from Earth with a small telescope.

Uranus is unique because it rotates on its side! This ice giant appears blue-green due to methane in its atmosphere. It has 27 known moons, all named after characters from the works of William Shakespeare and Alexander Pope.

Neptune is the windiest planet, with speeds reaching up to 1,200 mph! This blue ice giant is the most distant planet in our solar system (since Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet). It has 14 known moons.
