Traveling in Space

SUN

The sun is an important member of the solar system which is the main component in the solar system. The sun is also referred to as the parent in the solar system. The sun has a size of 332,830 Earth masses. The core is the innermost layer of the sun which has a temperature of 14 million kelvins, and this core is the site of nuclear reactions that will produce enormous energy.

MERCURY

The planet Mercury is the closest planet to the sun which has a distance of about 58 million kilometers from the sun. Mercury has only 4,862 km, on the surface Mercury gives off hot and dry energy. Mercury will move around the sun 1 time in 88 days and will rotate with a rotation period of 59 days because Mercury does not have satellites. Mercury exerts gravity on the Earth's surface about a third of gravity.

VENUS

Venus is known as the morning star planet. Usually seen in the afternoon, but not twinkling. The planet contains toxic gases such as carbon dioxide and sulfuric acid. The second planet in the solar system, after Mercury. The hottest planet in the solar system with a temperature of 900°F (465°C). Its rotation direction is different from that of other planets (opposite) It is more than 67 million miles (108 million km) from the Sun. One day on Venus is equal to 243 days on Earth. This is due to the rotation of Venus which rotates backwards from the other planets. So, the sun rises on Venus not in the east, but from the west. While setting in the east.

EARTH

Earth is one of the planets that does not have the largest size, because what we live in is the earth so we consider the earth to be the largest planet with an innumerable population. Earth has a diameter of about 12,700 km and will evolve 365.25 days and its rotation in 24 hours. And the earth has only one satellite, namely the moon.

MARS

Mars is dubbed the 'red planet', Mars is the fourth planet in the solar system. Mars has a very thin, cold, dusty, desert or desert atmosphere. The distance between Mars and the Sun is about 228 million km (142 million miles). The planet Mars has two satellites, namely Phobos and Deimos. Mars has no rings. The temperature of the planet Mars is between -113 to 0°C.

JUPITER

Jupiter is the fifth planet in the order of members of the solar system. Jupiter is the largest planet among the other planets. Jupiter has a diameter on its surface of about 142,860 km and has a volume of about 1,300 times that of Earth.

SATURN

Saturn is the sixth planet in the order of members of the solar system. Saturn is the most beautiful planet among the other planets because Saturn has rings that surround the planets because the size of the rings is larger than the other planets.

URANUS

Uranus is the seventh planet in the order of members of the solar system. This planet is 4 times the size of Earth. The following are the characteristics of the planet Uranus including the planet with the lowest temperature, which is -224 ° C. It has 27 satellites. The diameter of the planet is 50,724 km. Light blue in color. Has a vertical dim ring.

NEPTUNE

Neptune is the eighth planet in the solar system. This planet has a distance of 4,500 million km from the sun. For a mass of 16 hours. The revolution on this planet takes 165 years and it takes 16 hours for its rotation. The planet Neptune has similarities with Uranus, has an atmosphere consisting of helium and hydrogen and has the same methane gas as the planet Uranus.
