Planet Venus and Earth are often called twins because they are similar in size‚ mass‚ density‚ composition and gravity. However‚ the similarities end there. [Photos of Venus‚ the Mysterious Planet Next Door] Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun‚ its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms up the Earth. As a result‚ temperatures on Venus reach 870 degrees F (465 degrees C)‚ more than hot

Planets of our Solar System The Earth: The earth is the fifth largest planet of the solar system. The life is possible on the earth because its gravity is sufficient to hold atmosphere and best conditions for sustaining life. It contains a large amount of water in the form of oceans. 71% parts of the total area is covered with water and the remaining 29% is covered with land. The temperature of the centre of the earth is 2000° C. The circumference of the earth is 40‚000 km. The earth completes

Physical Science Planet Project 5/3/11 [pic] After the discovery of Uranus‚ scientist noticed the orbit was not as it should be in accordance to Newton’s law. Neptune was discovered by Johann Galle on September 23‚ 1846. Neptune has been visited by the Voyager 2; it flew by the planet on August 25‚ 1989. It was the first planet to be found by a mathematical prediction. Alexis Bouvard thought the change in Uranus’s orbit changed by gravitational perturbation by an unknown planet. The
