Celestial Objects

Mercury

Is the smallest planet and is the closest to our star. Its ‘smallness’ makes it smaller than every planet (Well, not every. If you count Pluto that is!). It is the second hottest planet, despite being closest to The Sun. It also has magnetic tornadoes caused by solar wind. It also has a sodium tail that makes it look like a comet! Its nightside is very cold, not as cold as Neptune or Uranus.

Venus

It is the second planet from The Sun and is very hot, that makes it the hottest. It has a really thick atmosphere with a bunch of Sulfuric Acid. It also has Sulfuric Lightning. It has many, many, many, many volcanoes. It is similar in size to Earth. It has the same composition as Earth. It is sometimes called Earth's evil twin. Earth, Venus; and sometimes the other rocky planets (Mercury and Mars), have the same composition too! Finally, it is the third smallest planet in our Solar System!

Earth (Terra, Tellus, Gaia)

Our home! Is the third planet from The Sun and the only planet that can sustain living organisms or life! Has many deserts, forests, habitats, biomes, environments, ecosystems, cities, suburban environments, rural environments, oceans, rivers, trenches of oceans in the deep, you name it! It has one moon. We have many buildings and structures that are on here. This is the place of most our history! Finally, this is the fourth smallest planet in our Solar System, making it bigger than all the rocky planets but smaller than the fourth biggest to the biggest planets that are Gas/Ice Giants.

Mars

This is a planet that we want to live on in the future, despite its surface’s rustiness, dustiness, coldness, and other issues. This is the fourth planet from The Sun and the coldest rocky planet. And just like Venus, are the only planets that have no magnetic field via The Sun stripping it off of them! It has two moons, which are very small (Yes, very very very small. I mean it.). Its atmosphere is very very dusty and rusty and thin compared to Earth’s and Venus’ but large compared to Mercury’s. Finally, this is the second smallest planet in the Solar System.

Jupiter

The fifth planet and the largest, dwarfing every object in The Solar System except The Sun. It has a really strong magnetic field. Has 97 moons, 4 major moons. It has the greatest mass and the greatest gravity. It has rings, but they are very thin. The Great Red Spot is a fast swirling storm. It is a Gas Giant, therefore the crushing gravity and the not solid surface doesn’t make you wanna stand there. Its gravity affects both the Kuiper and Asteroid belts and makes them stable, along with The Sun. There is an Asteroid Belt that separates the Inner System from the Outer System.

Saturn

The sixth planet and the second largest planet in our Solar System. It has 274 moons, 7 major moons (8 if you count Hyperion.. wait what people don't count Hyperion what am I talking about..)! It has pretty rings made from (a) hypothetical moon(s) that came too close to it and entered its Roche Limit, and got crushed by its gravity that is the second greatest, resulting in getting pulverized into debris, dust, rocks and ice chunks. Most of its rings are chunks of ice. And, just like Jupiter, does not have a solid surface to stand on.

Uranus

The seventh planet and the third largest planet in our Solar System. It has the coldest known temperature in The Solar System, but not the coldest Avg. Temp. which Neptune has the award for. It has 28 moons, 5 major ones (4 if you don't count Miranda for some reason..)! It has an axial tilt that makes it sideways [Approx. 98°]. Like its name, it smells terribly. It has Hydrogen Sulfide which is toxic and smells horribly disgusting. It has rings. Not as beautiful as Saturn’s or not as faint as Jupiter’s. It has 13 rings compared to Saturn’s 60+!

Neptune

The farthest planet and the fourth largest, bigger than the fourth smallest. It is very cold. It has the coldest average temperature but not the coldest recorded temperature. It takes 4 hours for light to reach it! It has rings, not as visible as Uranus’ and not as faint as Jupiter’s. Despite many misconceptions that it is a pure blue color, its color is actually a pale blue like Uranus’! It has 16 moons.

The Sun (Sol)

Our star! It fuses Hydrogen and Helium inside to make heat. When there is no more Hydrogen, it only fuses Helium. After (a few…) fusing to Iron, it cannot fuse anymore. It will soon collapse in on itself. It makes 99.86% of The Solar System. It produces Coronal Mass Ejections and Solar Flares. It has the greatest mass in The Solar System. It is made out of the fourth state of matter, Plasma. It is bigger than anything in The Solar System.

The Moon (Luna)

Earth's only moon! It is one of the largest satellites to form naturally! There are a few theories on how it was formed. The most accepted theory is The Great Impact Theory. The Great Impact Theory is about two planets colliding and forming it (Honestly, I don't believe that!). It is the fifth largest satellite and fifth naturally formed satellite in our Solar System. It has many, many, many craters.

Pluto

Not a planet anymore. It has five moons. If you still consider it a planet, it is the smallest. It is not a planet anymore because of the IAU's 3 criteria: 1. Must orbit a star, 2. Be round via gravity and mass, 3. Clear neighborhood. Pluto does not follow Criteria Three. Pluto is colder than Uranus and Neptune. It is binary with its largest moon.

Ceres

Also like Pluto, not a planet anymore. Firstly, it was a Planet. Secondly, an Asteroid. Then finally, a Dwarf Planet. It is a heavily cratered object in the Asteroid Belt. It is the largest object in the Asteroid Belt.
