Terrestrial planets are rocky planets. facts about the planets below! Mercury -closest to the sun -no moons -daytime temperature = 750-800 F -night time temperature = -330 F -diameter = 3,030 miles -tidally locked - when I said daytime and night time temperature, the daytime temperature is the heat from the side facing the sun, and the night time temperature is the temperature of the side facing the sun -thin atmosphere -88 days to orbit the sun Venus -takes 224 days to orbit sun -second closest to the sun -no moons -average temperature 865 degrees F -very thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide -rains acid - you don't want to come here -brightest planet in the solar system -hotter than mercury, even though not the closest to the sun Earth -takes 365 1/4 days to orbit the sun, thus leap years -we live on earth :) -third closest planet to the sun -only planet with confirmed life -1 moon -global warming :( -also did you know that moon is leaving us :( Mars -takes 687 days to orbit sun -farthest terrestrial planet from the sun -average temperature = -81 F -has water in ice form -2 moons, Phobos and Deimos -Phobos will crash into mars in around 50 million years -Deimos will float away from mars, Idk when bc I checked over 15 sources and couldn't find anything about when -Mars's color is from rusted copper
