The sun is made of about
70% hydrogen and 28%
helium.
Mercury
Mercury is solid and is
covered with craters.
Mercury has almost no
atmosphere.
Mercury is the eighth
largest planet.
Venus
Venus is the sixth
largest planet. Its
about three-fourths
the size of earth.
The surface is
rocky and very hot.
The atmosphere
completely hides
the surface and
traps the heat.

planet from the
sun.
Mars has a thin
atmosphere that
contains mostly
carbon dioxide.
Mars has two small
moons.
Moons of Mars
Phobos
Deimos
Jupiter
Moons of Jupiter
Io
Io is the fifth moon
of Jupiter. Its the
third largest of
Jupiters moons.
Io has hundreds of
volcanic calderas.
Some of the
volcanoes are
active.
Europa
Europa is the sixth of Jupiters
moons and is the fourth largest.
It is slightly smaller than the
Earths moon.
The surface strongly resembles
images of sea ice on Earth.
There may be a liquid water
sea under the crust.
Europa is one of the five known
moons in the solar system to
have an atmosphere.
Ganymede
Ganymede is the
seventh and
largest of Jupiters
known satellites.
Ganymede has
extensive cratering
and an icy crust.
Callisto

second largest.
Callisto has the oldest, most cratered surface of any body
yet observed in the solar system.
Saturn
Saturn is the second largest planet and the sixth from the
sun.
Saturn is made of materials that are lighter than water. If
you could fit Saturn in a lake, it would float!
Rings of Saturn
Saturns rings are not
solid; they are composed
of small countless
particles.
The rings are very thin.
Though theyre 250,000km
or more in diameter,
theyre less than one
kilometer thick.
Uranus
Uranus is the third largest
planet and the seventh
from the sun.
Uranus is one of the giant
gas planets.
Uranus is blue-green
because of the methane in
its atmosphere.
Neptune
Neptune is the fourth
largest planet and the eight
from the sun.
Because of the orbits, from
1979 to 1999, Neptune
was the ninth planet.
Like Uranus, the methane
gives Neptune its color.
Pluto
Pluto is the smallest planet
and usually the farthest
from the sun.
Pluto is the only planet that
has not been visited by a
spacecraft.
