All about the Planets

Our solar system has eight Planets: Mercury,Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus,and Neptune.

With the exception of Uranus and Neptune, each of these planets can be seen unaided. All eight Planets can be see through the use of an inexpensive amateur telescope or binoculars.

Some are small and rocky; others are big and gassy. Some are so hot that metals would melt on the surface. Others are freezing cold.

We're learning new things about our neighboring planets all the time. We send spacecraft to take pictures, gather information, and find out more about them.
