Question

Two characteristics of each planets

Answer 1

1. Mercury: It is the closest planet to the sun, so it orbits the sun very quickly just in 88 days. Its surface is gray to orange in color and it is covered with craters. It is a small planet, just 4850 kilometers (~3000 miles) in diameter. The side of its surface which is facing the sun is extremely hot as 700oK.

2. Venus: Its surface is a brownish-yellow color because of its thick atmosphere which is composed of largely of sulfuric acid and CO2. Its size is a little over 12,000 kilometers (7300 miles) in diameter. It rotates the sun in 243.

3. Earth: It rotates the sun every 365 days (year) and rotates in its axis every 24 hours (day). Its size is a little more than 12,000 kilometers in diameter. This planet is different form other planets as it maintains life on its surface. It has a moon.

4. Mars: It takes 687 days to revolve around the sun. Its surface is covered with craters, volcanoes, and large canyons and it has a very cold atmosphere. It has two moons.

5. Jupiter: It is the largest planet of the solar system as a diameter of 142,980 kilometers. It orbits the sun every 12 years.

6. Saturn: It is a large planet as 120,536 kilometers. It orbits the sun in 12 years. It is well-known for its system of three rings, it has also 47 moons.

7. Uranus: It rotates the sun in 84 years, its size is 51,118 kilometers in diameter. It is surrounded by a system of nine rings.

8. Neptune: Its size is 49,500 kilometers in diameter. It orbits the sun every 165 years.

9. Pluto: It is known as the most distance planet from the sun. It orbits the sun in 248 years.

Answer 2

Answer:

Characteristics of each planet of the solar system are as follows:-

1. Mercury

• Mercury is the nearest planet to the Sun, as well as the smallest of our solar system's eight planets.
• Because of its close closeness to the Sun, Mercury orbits the Sun more quickly than any other planet.
• It doesn't have any satellites.

2. Venus

• Venus is known as "the morning/evening star" and is sometimes referred to as the Earth's sister planet because of its similar size (6 378.14 km for the Earth and 6 051.8 km for Venus) and density.
• Its landscape is characterised by volcanic characteristics, with folds in the mountains and highlands that resemble continents scattered everywhere.
• Venus, unlike the other planets, revolves in the opposite direction.

3. Earth

• Third from the sun is Earth, which is where we live.
• It is the only planet that is known to have seas of liquid water on its surface, an atmosphere that contains free oxygen and is finely balanced by the conditions required for supporting life.
• Despite having a primarily watery surface, the earth also features substantial land masses that are home to an incredible diversity of ecosystems.
• Earth is sometimes called as "blue planet"

4. Mars

• The diameter of Mars is roughly equal to that of Earth.
• With around 15% of Earth's volume and 11% of its mass, it is less dense than Earth.
• Its surface is just smaller than the whole amount of dry land on Earth.
• The term "red planet" is occasionally used to refer to Mars.

5. Jupiter

• Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.
• The other planets in the solar system might fit inside Jupiter due to its enormous size.
• The Great Red Spot is one of Jupiter's most recognisable features.

6. Saturn

• Saturn is our solar system's second-largest planet.
• Saturn is the only planet that has hundreds of beautiful ringlets.
• Saturn's rings are believed to be fragments of comets, asteroids, or shattered moons that broke apart before they reached the planet and were pulled apart by Saturn's strong gravity.

​7. Uranus

• The only planet with an equator that is almost perpendicular to its orbit is Uranus.
• The planet is frequently referred to as an ice giant since 80 percent or more of its bulk is made up of a fluid mixture of water, methane, and ammonia ices.
• Uranus, which is almost the same size as Neptune, has more methane in its primary hydrogen and helium atmosphere, which gives Uranus its blue hue.

8. Neptune

• Neptune is the most windy planet in our solar system.
• Similar to Uranus, methane gas in Neptune's upper atmosphere absorbs red light to give the planet its blue appearance.
• The composition of Neptune is thought to be quite similar to that of Uranus.
