What is an AU? An astronomical unit (AU) is the average distance of the Earth from the sun. 1 AU = 150 million kilometers

MERCURY DIAMETER: 4,878 km MASS: 0.06 Earths SURFACE: Rocks and Metals ATMOSPHERE: Extremely Thin REVOLUTION: 0.24 Years DISTANCE: A.U. (~60 million Km) MOONS: 0 RINGS: no

SUMMARIZER WHY DO YOU THINK IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT TO LEARN ABOUT MERCURY?

VENUS DIAMETER: 12,104 km MASS: 0.82 Earths SURFACE: Rocks and Metals ATMOSPHERE: Thick/Carbon Dioxide (greenhouse effect) REVOLUTION: 0.62 Years DISTANCE: A.U. (~108 million Km) MOONS: 0 RINGS: no

SUMMARIZER THE SURFACE OF VENUS IS VERY HOT. WHY?
