There are many interesting facts about the planets. They are classified into two different categories, namely a terrestrial planet or a gas giant. Let's take Mercury for example, it is one of the terrestrial planets of the Solar System. Also, Mercury can contain ice, it rotates slowly around the Sun so as to expose all its sides to the Sun's strong rays, so it is difficult to visualize whether the ice remains solid. Mars has various aspects of its own; some scientists have discovered that this planet has water on its surface. This discovery was detected by NASA's Odyssey spacecraft. The hottest planet is Venus, although Mercury is closest to the Sun. Venus' atmosphere traps heat from the Sun, like a greenhouse effect, and absorbs it. The temperature on Venus is 465 C. Jupiter is the largest planet and is also the one with the fastest rotation. It is two and a half times more massive than all the other planets and made up of gas, which is why it is known as the "gas giant". magnetic field so strong that its forces reach thousands of kilometers from the Earth's surface to the magnetosphere. Thanks to the magnetosphere, life can exist on our planet. Saturn is famous for its rings, which can be seen from Earth with the naked eye. Furthermore, Saturn has 62 moons, some are large, but most are small. Uranus is the second farthest planet from the sun, making it the second coldest planet in our solar system. It is also the only planet to rotate on its side. Neptune has the fastest winds of all eight planets, reaching at least 2,100 kilometers per hour. The force of gravity on Neptune is almost the same as walking on Earth. As you can see, each planet in our solar system has something different to offer and they are full of... half paper... which is why the Earth and the Moon are not considered a sister planet. The sun is located at the center of our solar system and is orbited by eight major planets of our solar system which include: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto although it is not considered a planet. The sun makes up 99.86% of the mass of the solar system. Furthermore, due to its size, heat and chemical composition, it is a medium-sized star and classified as a G2 dwarf. Based on the average lifespan of a G2 star, the current age of the sun is predicted to be 4.6 billion years. After all the hydrogen in the sun has been burned, the sun will continue to exist for about another 130 million years. During that time, it will extend to the point of absorbing Mercury, Venus and Earth. It will later become a red giant. After the red giant chapter, the sun will give way.
