The Sun gives life to the Earth and the Earth would have no life from the energy of the sun. The sun is only millions and millions of stars in the galaxy

Mercury Mercury is the first planet in our solar system Mercury is covered with many craters Mercury has a very low surface gravity Mercury is very hot Mercury is 58,000,000 km away from the sun It takes 0.2 years to orbit the sun The mass of this planet is 0.8 It is a +112 degrees Celsius

Venus Mercury has a very low surface gravity Venus features no liquid water. Its size is slightly smaller than Earth It also features gravity similar to that of Earth Venus is the second planet Venus takes 0.6 years to orbit the sun The relative mass is 0.6 The distance from the sun is 108,000,000km It is +470 degrees Celsius

The Moon The moon comes out at night Also the Moon circles the Earth Neil Armstrong was the first person to land on the moon The Moon has also got many craters like Mercury The moon orbits the Earth every 27.5 days .
