This planet is the closest to the sun.
The distance is only 0.39 AU.
An AU is an astronomical unit.
The orbit period of Mercury is 0.24 Earth years.
Mercury is a planet made up of mostly gas.
In earth years the orbit for this planet is 0.24.
In relation to earth the diameter of Mercury is 0.38
and the surface gravity is the same.
Also in relation to earth the mass of this planet is
rather small at just 0.06.
The mean orbital spin in kilometers per second
stands at 47.9.
This planet is also just over the size of our moon.
Which is not very big at all.

Earth is the planet we live on!!!!
Earth is the third planet from the sun.
Our orbit period is 364.25 days.
Our planet is 1 AU from the sun.
Our orbital speed is about 29.8 kilometers per second.
Earth is the only planet in our solar system that has
intelligent life.
The special thing about earth is that are far enough
away from earth so we liquid water and we are close
enough to the sun that we get warmth and sunlight.
This planet also used to have 1 large continent called
Pangaea, it was a collaboration of all the planets
together.
As time went by the continents all spread out and
became 7 new planets.
This lovely planets also is home to mammals, humans
and many other types of intelligent life.

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun.
It’s distance from the sun is 1.52 AU.
The orbit period is 1.88 earth years.
The mean orbital speed is 24.1 kilometers per second.
In relation to earth, the diameter is .53.
Also in relation to earth, the mass is .11.
The surface gravity is 0.38, also in relation to the earth.
The time of rotation is 24 hours and 37 minutes.
The highest volcano is Olympus Mons.
It is 3 times bigger than Mount Everest.
