  1. One million Earths could fit inside the Sun:
    If a hollow Sun was filled up with spherical Earths then around 960,000 would fit inside. On the other hand if these Earths were squished inside with no wasted space then around 1,300,000 would fit inside. The Sun’s surface area is 11,990 times that of the Earth’s.

    Eventually, the Sun will consume the Earth:
    When all the Hydrogen has been burned, the Sun will continue for about 130 million more years, burning Helium, during which time it will expand to the point that it will engulf Mercury and Venus and the Earth. At this stage it will have become a red giant
    The Sun will one day be about the size of Earth:
    After its red giant phase, the Sun will collapse, retaining its enormous mass, but containing the approximate volume of our planet. When this happens, it will be called a white dwarf.
    The Sun contains 99.86% of the mass in the Solar System:
    The mass of the Sun is approximately 330,000 times greater than that of Earth. It is almost three quarters Hydrogen, whilst most of the remaining mass is Helium.
    The Sun is an almost perfect sphere:
    There is only a 10 kilometre difference in its polar diameter compared to its equatorial diameter. Considering the vast expanse of the Sun, this means it is the closest thing to a perfect sphere that has been observed in nature.

  2. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in the Solar System.
    It is the second planet in the Solar System,after Jupiter;like Jupiter,Uranus and Neptune-it is GAS GIANT.
    The inside of Saturn probably a core of iron,nickel,silicon and oxygen.
    Saturn has 62 knwon moons orbiting the planet.The largest moon is TITAN.
    Saturn was named after the Roman god Saturnus called Kronos.
    Saturn is about 1,400,000,000 km fro the sun.
    In the time it takes Saturn to complete one orbit of the Sun.
    The outer of Saturn's atmosphere is made up of about 96% hydrogen,3% helium, 0.4% methane and 0.01% ammonia.
    The temperature here is quite low, at 250 K.

  3. Neptune is the eighth and farthest planet from the Sun in the Solar System. It is the fourth-largest planet by diameter and the third-largest by mass. Among the gaseous planets in the Solar System, Neptune is the most dense. Neptune is 17 times biger the mass of Earth and is slightly more massive. Neptune was the first planet found by mathematical prediction rather than by empirical observation. Neptune was subsequently observed on 23 September 1846 by Johann Galle. Neptune was visited by Voyager 2, when it flew by the planet on 25 August 1989. Neptune is similar in composition to Uranus, and both have compositions that differ from those of the larger gas giants, Jupiter and Saturn.

  4. My favorite planet is Earth.
    One day on Earth lasts 24 hours.
    Earth is the third planet from the Sun.
    One year on Earth lasts 365 days.
    Earth is the only planet that has life on it.
    The earliest life on Earth arose at least 3.5 billion years ago.
    Earth was formed around four and a half billion years ago.
    The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite.
    It began orbiting the Earth about 4.53 billion years ago.
    The main reason why I like Earth is that I live on it.

  6. My favorite is the planet Earth. It rotates around its axis and around a huge star called the sun. It makes one revolution in 24 hours. Time of year varies depending on how it is turned to the Earth. Earth has a satellite. He was named the moon. In the afternoon the sun shines. But night follows day it also depends on how the sun turned our planet) and the sun gives way to the moon.Our planet is in color. It bunch of mountains, seas, oceans, countries, and many more other things.

  9. Earth - the third planet from the sun . Fifth in size among all the planets of the solar system. It is also the largest in diameter , mass and density among the terrestrial planets. Scientific evidence indicates that the Earth was formed from the solar nebula about 4.54 billion years ago and shortly thereafter acquired its only natural satellite - the Moon. Approximately 70.8% of the planet's surface takes Oceans, the rest of the surface is occupied by the continents and islands. Day now account for approximately 24 hours.

  13. I would like to say that the most interesting thing for me about the solar system is black black holes.Nobody really knows what is inside of them. I would want to know about it so much ( but not to fly out there).Black hole is made by the star blast.What is left of the star becomes this black hole. You can go there and come back only if you are super lucky.Many astronauts and not only them call black holes a space trap.Some black holes can grow.Billions of suns can fit into such holes.Black holes are very very very MYSTICAL))))!

  14. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System, after Mercury. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often described as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance.[15] Mars is a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere, having surface features reminiscent both of the impact craters of the Moon and the volcanoes, valleys, deserts, and polar ice caps of Earth. The rotational period and seasonal cycles of Mars are likewise similar to those of Earth, as is the tilt that produces the seasons. Mars is the site of Olympus Mons, the second highest known mountain within the Solar System (the tallest on a planet), and of Valles Marineris, one of the largest canyons. The smooth Borealis basin in the northern hemisphere covers 40% of the planet and may be a giant impact feature.[16][17] Mars has two moons, Phobos and Deimos, which are small and irregularly shaped. These may be captured asteroids,[18][19] similar to 5261 Eureka, a Mars trojan.

    Until the first successful Mars flyby in 1965 by Mariner 4, many speculated about the presence of liquid water on the planet's surface. This was based on observed periodic variations in light and dark patches, particularly in the polar latitudes, which appeared to be seas and continents; long, dark striations were interpreted by some as irrigation channels for liquid water. These straight line features were later explained as optical illusions, though geological evidence gathered by unmanned missions suggests that Mars once had large-scale water coverage on its surface at some earlier stage of its life.[20] In 2005, radar data revealed the presence of large quantities of water ice at the poles[21] and at mid-latitudes.[22][23] The Mars rover Spirit sampled chemical compounds containing water molecules in March 2007. The Phoenix lander directly sampled water ice in shallow Martian soil on July 31, 2008.[24]
