Mercury has no moons that we know of so far. Since it is so close to the sun it has the shortest orbit. It takes mercury 88 days to orbit. Mercury has no atmosphere which means it doesn't keep in any air. It has something called a exosphere. A exosphere is like in atmosphere but a lot thinner. It traps in molecules.]]> 2016-11-29 21:32:11 UTC https://padlet.com/ruesco14/m8dn7xtnwt9/wish/140672114 ruesco14 https://padlet.com/ruesco14/m8dn7xtnwt9/wish/140675397 Venus is the 2nd closest planet to the sun.
