The planets located in the inner solar system are located before a asteroid belt that separates Mars ad Jupiter.
They have a hotter climate than the outer planets because they are farther away from the sun.

4. Inner Planets cont.
Mercury-Has a rough surface, it is the color grey, and has no clouds. Mercury is very hot since it is the closest planet to the sun.
Venus- has a smooth surface in some places, is shrouded by thick clouds.

The climate is usually colder in the outer planets since they farther away from the sun than the inner planets.

7. Outer planets cont.
Jupiter- It is the biggest planet in our solar system. Has 3 small rings and has 63 known moons.
Saturn- has a huge ring, 50 identified moons, and is a gas giant.
Uranus- is a greenish blue color and has a ring. Also has 27 moons.
Neptune- Is a blue color. It is the farthest planet from the sun.

Mars got it’s name after the Roman god of war called Ares since the planet is the color red.
Mars does not currently have any oceans.

13. Curiosity Curiosity is a robot that weighs 2,000 pounds.
It has many different mechanical parts like wheels, arms, lenses, and even a laser that can drill into rocks!
It’s purpose is to find if there was ever any life on Mars and to find information about Mars atmosphere, surface, etc.
Curiosity has found strange patterns in rock that suggest there was a river there.

Earth has a very diverse population of different creatures.
Earth has a different atmosphere than Mars.
Earth is bigger than Mars.
Earth has more gravity than Mars.

15. How Earth & Mars are the Same

They do not have rings.
Mars and Earth both have moons.
Each planet has roughly the same amount of surface area.
