Name the nearest planet to the Sun! And the biggest planet of our system? And how many, exactly? Not everyone immediately remember the answers to these questions. Even more will be surprised by those who sincerely believed that knows such simple things. In fact it turns out that astronomy is a very dynamic science and knowledge becomes obsolete incredibly fast: it would seem, indisputable facts a few years later receive their refutation or Supplement. And the picture of the Universe is absolutely Different!
Name the nearest planet to the Sun
The Nearest to the sun the planet is mercury. It has a very small size, rocky structure. And proximity to the Sun leads to incredibly high temperatures on the surface of the planet. Mercury is the fastest planet in our system. The duration of its rotation around the Sun is 88 earth days.
And now the terrestrial planets name! The nearest planet to the Sun, we have to remember. Tip: in addition to mercury, another Venus, Earth and Mars separated from the other planets rotating around a star, the asteroid belt. Therefore they are called planets of terrestrial group.
Everything about the planet Venus
In size Venus is similar to Earth, only slightly less than her. However, the atmosphere on this planet is very dense, ten times denser than earth's, and incredibly hot. These features of the atmosphere cause the typical delicate color of the planet, for which she identified with the female deity of love. Interestingly, there a day lasts 243 earth days, but Venus year is shorter – only 225 days. Besides, this is the only planet in our solar system that rotates counterclockwise. The generally accepted explanation for this phenomenon.

Mars – the personification of war.
A Reddish body in the starry sky, many ancient peoples associated with fire and destruction. In fact, thanks to his sinister mind of Mars got its name, becoming in Roman mythology, the God of war. On this planet is the highest mountain in the entire Solar system. Mount Olympus reaches nearly 27 km in height, it is beyond our earthly Everest three times. The surface of Mars is heavily dotted with plenty of canyons and mountain ridges. Some of them have such bizarre form that people who observed them through a telescope, not just in a hurry to say about the artificial origin of these formations.
Jupiter and Saturn-planets-giants
That's right - these celestial bodies are the real giants among the planets. Jupiter exceeds the mass of the Earth is 318 times. Interestingly, it is a gas accumulation. Space ship landing on the planet impossible, as it has no solid ground, and consists mainly of actiontastic of hydrogen and helium. Saturn exceeds the Earth's mass is about 95 times, although it is not a solid body in the earth view. It is famous for its rings, which are clearly visible around the planet. They are formed from dust and small satellites in orbit. Only more or less large moons Saturn has 62.
Uranus-the planet with many satellites.
Of all the planets Uranus is the lightest. Its interesting feature is that it spins as if lying on its side.
The Neptune – planet of the Solar system
The Mass of Neptune is 17 times higher than the earth. The density of it is also above the earth. Neptune has thirteen satellites of which the largest is called Triton. It is the only planetary satellite in our system, which moves in the opposite direction.
And what's the body completes this series?
And now ask you, the last planet rotating around the Sun, name! The nearest planet to the Sun, the gas giants, the planet with the ring and the largest satellite of Neptune we have already mentioned, and as is the case with the borders of our star system? If you think that is Pluto, you are wrong. A few years ago the answer would have been correct but not today. After opening beyond Pluto, some others, not inferior to him in size of bodies, not moving but on a clear planetary orbit in the scientific world the question arose: "What exactly justified to call the planet?" The consensus was the following. The planet needs:
1) apply to orbit the Sun.
2) have sufficient dimensions that under the influence of its own gravity to make a spherical shape;
3) to clear the orbit path, and not to go with her under the influence of other bodies.
Unfortunately, Pluto does not meet these parameters, as well as many of the bodies in the so-called Kuiper belt, which is open on the edge of the Solar system in the last decade, Eris, Sedna and others.
