Take a Journey Through Our Solar System! We live in a very small part of the universe, but it's what we call home, and it's a very interesting place. You can visit all of the members of our planetary family by clicking on the name or the picture of the planet you want to visit. Enjoy your trip! How Big is the Solar System? Even though we live in a very tiny part of the universe, our neighborhood is still a very large place. If you would like to find out just how big it is, visit the How Big is the Solar System page. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun. Mercury is named for the Roman messenger god because it quickly appears and disappears from the morning and evening skies. Many astronomers have never seen Mercury because it's only visible a few days out of the year, and does not rise very far above the horizon. Mercury Although Venus is named after a goddess of beauty, the reality of this planet is far from its name. Venus is a very unpleasant place, with winds that blow constantly at hundreds of miles per hour and extremely high temperatures. This planet is an example of a runaway greenhouse effect on a planetary scale. Venus Earth . Our home in the planetary neighborhood, and as the saying goes, there's no place like home. Our planet is unique in the solar system, and not just because we live here. Did you know that Earth is only planet in the solar system that can have total eclipses of the Sun?

12. Astronomy For Kids - Mars Provides details about its location, its visibility, size and number of satellites. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/mars/mars.htm

No other planet has captured our imaginations, or inspired so many bad science fiction movies, as the Red Planet. Since humans have been looking at the night sky, Mars has been an important part of our culture, writing and history. Where Is It? Click Click Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun, located in between Earth and Jupiter. Mars is much further away from the Sun than Earth, with an average distance of around 140 million miles. The orbit, or path, the planet takes around the Sun is an mild ellipse, or stretched circle, with Mars being about 128 million miles from the Sun at its closest and 154 millions away at its furthest. Since Mars is so much further away from the Sun than Earth, a Martian year, which is the time it takes to go around the Sun once, is much longer at 687 Earth days. A Martian day, which is the time it takes the planet to spin around once, is a little longer than an Earth day, at 24 hours and 37 minutes. Can I See It? Click Yes you can, and you won't need a telescope. Mars is visible in the early morning sky from fall through early spring, and in the evening sky from spring through early summer. Mars will be a small, rust-colored light in the sky. The best way to find Mars is to use the sky maps here at Astronomy for Kids. If you can see Mars during the month, the maps will tell you where and when to look for it.

13. Astronomy For Kids Includes a picture and brief facts about this planet. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/mars.html

MARS Is sometimes called the Red Planet. Its mass (weight) is 1/10th that of the Earth. Its diameter is 1/2 that of our planet. Is the fourth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 228 million kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 686.98 days. Rotates on its axis about the same speed as the Earth. It completes one rotation in about 24 hours and 37 minutes. Has seasons similar to our planet, but they last much longer. Has a total of 2 satellites (or moons).

15. Astronomy For Kids - Saturn Offers details regarding the location, the visibility, the size and the rings of the planet. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/saturn/saturn.htm

Where is It? Click Click Saturn is the sixth planet in the solar system, located in between Jupiter and Uranus. Saturn is much further away from the Sun than we are here on Earth. Its average distance from the Sun is over 850 million miles, compared to Earth's which is 93 million miles. Saturn's orbit, the path it follows around the Sun, is nearly a circle. The closest the as planet comes to the Sun is around 840 million miles, while the furthest away it gets is around 930 million miles. Since Saturn is so far away from the Sun, it takes a very long time for it to go around the Sun once. A year on Saturn, the amount of time it takes for this trip, is twenty-nine and one-half Earth years! A day on Saturn, though is much shorter than one of our Earth days. The giant planet spins around, or rotates, once every ten and one-half hours. Can I See It? Click Yes you can, and you won't need a telescope. The best way to find out if Saturn is visible is to check the sky maps every month here at Astronomy for Kids. If Saturn is visible during the month, we will tell you where and when to look for it. Saturn is easy to pick out in the sky because it is one of the brightest lights in the sky. Also, the planet has a very faint greenish color that makes it stand out from the rest of the things in the sky.

16. Astronomy For Kids Includes details about the size, the position, the movement and the moons of the planet. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/saturn.html

SATURN Is the second largest of all the planets. Its mass (weight) is over 95 times that of the Earth. Its diameter is over 10 times that of our planet. Is the sixth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 1.4 billion kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 29.46 years. Rotates on its axis at a very fast speed. It completes one rotation in about 10 hours and 39 minutes. Is known for the many rings that go around it. Has a total of 21 satellites.

19. Astronomy For Kids - Mercury Provides details related to location, visibility, size, origin of its name and surface. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/mercury/mercury.htm

Where is It? Click Mercury is the closest planet to the sun. The orbit, or path, it takes around the sun is not in a circle like Earth. The path it takes is called an ellipse, which is like a circle that has been stretched out. For this reason, the distance from Mercury to the Sun varies from about 27 million miles at its closest, to about 41 million miles at its furthest. Mercury races around the Sun faster than any other planet. A Mercurian year (the time it takes for the planet to go once around the Sun, is only 88 days, while our year on Earth is 365 days. Mercury does not spin as fast as Earth, though, so a Mercurian day (the time it takes a planet to rotate once) is 59 Earth days! ... picture of Mercury, you will see that there are many craters on its surface. The planet has been hit many, many times through the years by asteroids and other objects. These impacts are responsible for all the craters on the surface. Earth probably had this many craters at one time, but our weather has worn the down over the years. The weather on Mercury varies from extremely hot to extremely cold. If you were on the side of the planet facing towards the Sun, you would quickly melt, as the temperature would be around 700 degrees! The "daytime" temperature on Mercury varies, depending on how close it is to the Sun. At the other extreme, the temperature on the "nighttime" side of the planet (the side away from the Sun) can be over 300 degrees below zero! Mercury is not a very pleasant place.
