Mercury is a planet in our solar system.

The color of Mercury is brown.It appears brown because it is the closes planet to the sun and the heat surrounds it.(Space and Solar System websites). The (space and solar system website) says Mercury designs are circles.

The planet I’m researching doesn’t have any moons because it is the closes planet to the sun(planetsforkids.com). It only takes 88 earth days for Mercury to go around the sun.(planetsforkids.com). It takes 59 days for Mercury to go day to

Earth is the planet we live on.

The Earth’s colors are blue,green,brown,and white.It appears with these colors because land’s colors are green and brown,white is the color of the north and south poles and clouds,and blue is water.Earth has no special design such as jupiter’s red spot.I got this information from an app on an ipod called “planet facts.”

The ipod app,”planets”, states that the diameter of Earth is 7,926 miles. The same app also tells that Earth from north to south is 7,900 miles. Earth is about 93 million miles from the sun.Also,as we all know,Earth is the third planet from the sun.(The solar system by Marcus Chown.)

The Earth has only one moon. It is the only moon that has the name “Moon”. Some cool facts about Earth are: Earth was named after the latin word “Terra” meaning Earth, Earth has 4 layers:crust,mantle,outer core, and inner core,and lastly the inner core of Earth is solid iron-nickel.(the Earth by Anne Welsbacher) planet.

The color of the moon appears to be white, orange, or yellow depending on the atmospheric conditions. It is shaped like a sphere and it has craters on it. The size of the moon is 3,474. The Moon is about 250,000 miles from Earth. The Moon has a diameter of 2,000 miles. (www.woodlands-junior.com) The moon is the coldest satellite in the solar system. The Moon takes about 27 days to go all the way around the Earth and return back to its starting positio. (www.scholastic.com)

The surface of the moon has many things on it such as craters, lava plains, mountains, and valleys. Scientist believe the craters were formed when meteors hit the moon’s surface about 3.5 billion years ago.(www.scholastic.com I learned a lot about the moon.

Moon Makayla

The moon is a satellite that I researched in the solar system. The color of the Moon is white, orange, and yellow . The location of the moon is the average between the Moon and Earth which is 384,403 km. One of the unique features of the Moon is that it has the coldest temperatures of all planets. The size of the moon is small. The moon is considered to be a satellite, and it is the fifth largest satellite . The moon is 4.5 billion years old. Water was discovered on the Moon on November 2009. The moon is a rocky, airless world. The side of the Moon that that orbits the Earth. The Moon lights up because it reflects the light from the sun. The side of the Moon that is bright is facing the sun and the side of the Moon that is dark is away from the sun. The moon is 3474 km, or 2000 ml which is 25,000 miles from earth. The surface

of the Moon has crater. These craters are formed when something mashes on the surface of the moon and it causes a dent. The moon is the satellite that I learned about through my research. It is the fifth largest satellite in the solar system. The moon is 250,000 miles from the earth. References Planets for kids . Science facts . Peter and Paul around the galaxy .
