Today I am going to tell you guys about some of the coolest planets. And some awesome facts too!
JUPITER Jupiter is the biggest planet out of the nine of them. (Not counting pluto) Jupiter's average distance from the sun would be: 35,980,000 miles (57,900,000 km!) If you think of one mile being four full laps, thats a looooong way apart! But if you think about it, there are planets waaaay farther away. Jupiter's position in the sun orbit would be first. (Okay, that was just a random fact) And get this: one full day on Jupiter is 59 earth days! And Jupiter's year is veeeery loong. 11.9 earth YEARS! How long is that?! SATURN Saturn is the second biggest planet. But is pretty cool because of that huge ring it has. You know how we only have one moon? Saturn has sixty nine! SIXTY NINE PEOPLE, and if you thought Jupiters year was long Saturns has one year when here on earth we have 29.5 years! Crazy, am I right? We wonder if there is even days and nights on these crazy planets. Also, here is a fun fact: Saturn's outermost ring is roughly 7,000 times larger than the planet itself. NEPTUNE Now, our last planet, Neptune. Have you ever wondered what lies on this wonderful blue planet? Well lots of fun facts! Neptune is ninth in the orbit around the sun. Thats far away. FAR. The actual distance from the sun? 2,795,000,000 miles, and one day there is sixteen hours here on earth! Weird because their day is shorter than ours! A year you say? How long a year? 164.8 EARTH YEARS! Oh. my. GOODNESS! I hope you learned some about these three cool planets! I find them pretty interesting myself. -Anna Comments are closed.
