Mercury planetMercury - closest and the smallest planet to the Sun of the eight planets. Is so close to the sun, that's why there is no atmosphere.Was discovered 5000 years ago and named from one of the Roman gods.It has a huge metallic core which is about 2,200 to 2,400 miles.

VENUSThe diameter of Venus is

12,092 km (only 650 km less than the Earth's) and its mass is 81.5%

of the Earth'sWith a mean surface temperature of 735 K (462 °C; 863 °F), Venus is

by far the hottest planet in the Solar System.

Characteristics

Venus is the second planet from the Sun.  . It is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty.

Earth's "sister planet" Venus is always brighter than any star The greatest luminosity, apparent magnitude −4.9, occurs during crescent phase when it is near the Earth.

Earth

Earth, our home planet, is the only planet known to support life in our solar system.

Earth was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago.

The four seasons are a result of Earth's axis of rotation being tilted more than 23 degrees.

Earth is the only planet not named after a god.
