Facts About Mercury

1. Tiny Mercury, slightly larger than Earth’s moon.
2. Races along its elliptical orbital 1,76,000 kilometre per hour.
3. A speed that keeps it from being drawn into the Sun’s gravity field.
4. The crated planet has no atmosphere; days are scorching hot and nights, frigid.

Facts About Venus

1. Earth’s twin in size and mass, sparingly hot Venus is perpetually veiled behind reflective sulfuric acid clouds.
2. Probes and radar mapping have pierced the clouds and carbon dioxide environment to reveal flat, rocky plains & signs of volcanic activity.

Facts About Pluto

1. This Planet is the farthest, the smallest, the darkest, the coldest and arguably the strongest.
2. It follows the most elongated and tilted orbit in the solar system.
3. Its moon, Charon, is nearly half its size – appears like a bi-planet.
4. NASA used a new infra-red telescope, has learned that Pluto is shrouded in frozen nitrogen- not methane as once thought. Nitrogen makes 78% of the air.
