Hi! Welcome to space. I'm Amy the Astronaut and I'm here to teach you about the eight planets in our Solar System.

First let's start with the planet closest to the Sun, Mercury! Mercury is the smallest plant in our whole solar system! Even though it's small it's hot! Mercury is the 2nd hottest planet in the Milky Way. Mercury orbits the Sun so quickly that one day on Mercury is equal to 58 earth days!  

The next planet is Venus! Venus is the 2nd closest planet to the Sun and is also the hottest planet in the Milky Way! Venus is considered to be the sixth largest planet in our Solar System. 1 day on Venus is almost as long as a year on Earth. That's a long time!

We should all be familiar with this next planet, it's called Earth! Earth is the place we all live! Even though we all live on land, most of Earth's surface is made of water. 70% percent to be exact!

Moving on to the 4th closest planet to Sun, Mars! Mars's nickname is the Red Planet becuase well, it's red! Mars is the second smallest planet in the Milky Way, right after Mercury. A year on Mars is 687 days, almost twice as long as Earth's!
