Choose 2 of them and make sure no one has chosen them before. 
Then, with your team, post it in this Padlet with the main facts and the best picture. Please, put then in the same order than the distance they are from the sun.

Mercury is the planet closest to the Sun.  It is not, however, very close, since it is 36 million miles, or 58 million kilometres away from the Sun! Mercury has no moons.  Moons are satellites that travel with a planet as it orbits the sun.

Venus is the hottest planet in the Solar System, even hotter than Mercury, which is closer to the Sun.  The temperature on the surface of Venus is about 860° Fahrenheit
´The planets in the Solar system are given the names of Roman Gods or their attendants.  Venus is called after the Roman Goddess of love and beauty.]]> 2016-10-17 10:37:39 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131080649 Earth susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131081735 Apollo team
It is the only planet that has an atmosphere containing 21 percent oxygen. It is the only planet that has liquid water on its surface. The Earth is the only inner planet to have one large satellite, the Moon.  ]]> 2016-10-17 10:46:26 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131081735 Mars susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131083902 Skylab team
The Red Planet, as Mars is often called. In a lot of ways, Mars looks a lot like our home, though instead of blue oceans and green land, Mars is home to an ever present red tint. This is due to a mineral called iron oxide that is very common on the planet’s surface. Mars has at least three known moons ]]> 2016-10-17 11:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131083902 jupiter susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131084558 Apollo Team
Jupiter is the giant of the Solar System, with a mass more than 300 times the mass of the Earth and is called after the ancient Roman sky-god, Jupiter, known to the Greeks as Zeus. Jupiter has at leaset 62 moons.  Most of these moons are very small, and were probably once asteroids that got too close to Jupiter. ]]> 2016-10-17 11:05:01 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131084558 Saturn susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131085030 Gemini team
 It is the second largest planet in our Solar System and it is a gas giant like Jupiter. Under the clouds of methane, hydrogen and helium, the sky gradually turns into liquid until it becomes a giant ocean of liquid chemicals. Saturn is most well-known for its rings. The rings are not solid but rather are made up of particles of ice, dust and rocks.  ]]> 2016-10-17 11:07:48 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131085030 Uranus susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131086581 Mercury team
Like Jupiter and Saturn, Uranus is a gas giant. But Uranus is a little different. Unlike all the other planets and most of the moons in our Solar System, Uranus spins on its side.]]> 2016-10-17 11:17:08 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131086581 Neptune susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131087613 Space shuttle team
 Neptune is the smallest of the four gas giants in our Solar System. Much like Saturn and Uranus, Neptune's atmosphere contains hydrogen, helium and methane. 
Due to its great distance from the Earth it is extremely difficult for us to see any of Neptune's moons.  Today we know of 13 moons. ]]> 2016-10-17 11:24:20 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131087613 Pluto susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131088326 Mercury  team
Pluto was the only planet to be named by a kid. It is about two-thirds smaller than Earth's moon. On August 24, 2006, Pluto's status was officially changed from planet to dwarf planet. With this change, there are now only eight planets. Also because of this change, there is a new category of small planets known as plutoids. 
 Pluto is not a planet, however, it does have two moons that orbit it ]]> 2016-10-17 11:28:51 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131088326 Sun susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131140570 Space shuttle team.
Our Sun is not unique in the universe. It is a common middle-sized yellow star which scientists have named Sol
The Sun was born in a vast cloud of gas and dust around 5 billion years ago. Over a period of many millions of years, this gas and dust began to fall into a common center under the force of its own gravity ]]> 2016-10-17 13:54:53 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/131140570 MORE THIS WAY susanallinas https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/147765686 2017-01-18 10:38:48 UTC https://padlet.com/susanallinas/5dv5p5g84afy/wish/147765686
