![]() ![]() It is the longest and furthest from the Sun, and is very cold, so it is a rock with a very thick ice layer. Water absorbs red light, thus offering the mostly blue appearance we see from space, naming it The Blue Marble. Because of the distance of Neptune from Earth, its angular diameter only ranges from 2.2 to 2.4 arcseconds, the smallest of the Solar System planets. Blue light scatters more due to the presence of oceans and the atmosphere. Pluto is no longer officially recognized as a planet. Color: Blue with green, yellow, white, and brown Earth is a terrestrial planet that has an atmosphere rich in nitrogen and oxygen. It has wispy white clouds on its outer surface. This is because liquid water covers most of the surface of the planet. Neptune is a bright blue planet with wild weather patterns, and it is very large. Earth is called the Blue Planet due to the abundant water on its surface. The atmosphere of Uranus hides the planet’s surface, but inside the atmosphere scientists speculate that it is an ocean of water. Uranus is a planet that is a light blue color because it has a high amount of methane gas, and it was the first planet discovered using a telescope. Jupiter has a strong magnetic force, meaning that if a person was on the surface of Jupiter, they would weigh much more. Jupiter is the biggest planet in the Solar System, and it has a big red spot on the side, which is a gas storm, as well as many other gas storms. NASA has sent many rovers to Mars to collect information, because it is the next most habitable planet after Earth. It has a rocky surface, and weak gravity. Mars is called the “Red Planet” because it is covered with rust-colored dust. Earth is the perfect distance from the Sun to foster human life. It is called the “Blue Planet”, because of how much water is on the surface. Its gravity is very similar to Earth’s gravity, and there is no water on the surface of the planet.Įarth is our planet, and the only planet with life in the Solar System. Venus is the planet after Mercury, and it has many active volcanoes, thick clouds, and an atmosphere rich in carbon dioxide. It has no atmosphere, so the heat escapes during the night and the temperatures drop to below zero. Although it is a planet, its atmosphere is more like our moon, because it is rocky and has many craters. Mercury is the planet in our Solar System that is the closest to the Sun, which means that it is very hot on the planet’s surface. We live in the Solar System, which consists of the Sun and all the smaller planets the move around it. ![]()
