planets.]]> 2022-06-11 00:16:09 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217895460 Earth 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217896602 Our home planet Earth is a rocky, terrestrial planet. It has a solid and active surface with mountains, valleys, canyons, plains and so much more. Earth is special because it is an ocean planet. Water covers 70% of Earth's surface.]]> 2022-06-11 00:19:39 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217896602 Mercury 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217897702 Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system. It’s just a little bigger than Earth’s moon. It is the closest planet to the sun, but it’s actually not the hottest. Venus is hotter.]]> 2022-06-11 00:23:21 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217897702 Venus 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217897821 Even though Venus isn't the closest planet to the Sun, it is still the hottest. It has a thick atmosphere full of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and clouds made of sulfuric acid. The gas traps heat and keeps Venus toasty warm. In fact, it's so hot on Venus, metals like lead would be puddles of melted liquid.]]> 2022-06-11 00:23:44 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217897821 Mars 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217898055 Mars is a cold desert world. It is half the size of Earth. Mars is sometimes called the Red Planet. It's red because of rusty iron in the ground.Like Earth, Mars has seasons, polar ice caps, volcanoes, canyons, and weather. It has a very thin atmosphere made of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and argon.

There are signs of ancient floods on Mars, but now water mostly exists in icy dirt and thin clouds. On some Martian hillsides, there is evidence of liquid salty water in the ground.

Scientists want to know if Mars may have had living things in the past. They also want to know if Mars could support life now or in the future.

It's similar to a star, but it never got massive enough to start burning. It is covered in swirling cloud stripes. It has big storms like the Great Red Spot, which has been going for hundreds of years. Jupiter is a gas giant and doesn't have a solid surface, but it may have a solid inner core about the size of Earth. Jupiter also has rings, but they're too faint to see very well.]]> 2022-06-11 00:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217898721 Saturn 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217899188 Saturn isn’t the only planet to have rings, but it definitely has the most beautiful ones. The rings we see are made of groups of tiny ringlets that surround Saturn. They’re made of chunks of ice and rock. Like Jupiter, Saturn is mostly a ball of hydrogen and helium.When Galileo Galilei saw Saturn through a telescope in the 1600s, he wasn't sure what he was seeing. At first he thought he was looking at three planets, or a planet with handles. Now we know those "handles" turned out to be the rings of Saturn.]]> 2022-06-11 00:28:33 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217899188 Uranus 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217899441 Uranus is made of water, methane, and ammonia fluids above a small rocky center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen and helium like Jupiter and Saturn, but it also has methane. The methane makes Uranus blue.Uranus also has faint rings. The inner rings are narrow and dark. The outer rings are brightly colored and easier to see. Like Venus, Uranus rotates in the opposite direction as most other planets. And unlike any other planet, Uranus rotates on its side.]]> 2022-06-11 00:29:32 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217899441 Neptune 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217899627 Neptune is dark, cold, and very windy. It's the last of the planets in our solar system. It's more than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth is. Neptune is very similar to Uranus. It's made of a thick fog of water, ammonia, and methane over an Earth-sized solid center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The methane gives Neptune the same blue color as Uranus. Neptune has six rings, but they're very hard to see]]> 2022-06-11 00:30:07 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217899627 The Sun 4170790 https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217922830 A star is a hot, glowing ball of gas. When you look up in the night sky, you can see countless twinkling stars. Can you see any stars during the daytime? Of course! The light of daytime comes from our closest star: the Sun.]]> 2022-06-11 01:42:55 UTC https://padlet.com/4170790/Bookmarks/wish/2217922830
