Dear Melissa,

How are you? I am doing great here. Thank you for your letter about the Green Week
at your school. Let me tell you about the Astronomy Week we had at my school. I learned a
lot about our Solar System from all the activities held. Let me share some facts of the planets
with you.
• Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun.
• Venus is the second brightest object in the night sky after the Moon. It is the hottest
planet in the Solar System.
• Earth is the fifth largest planet of our solar system and has one large natural satellite,
the Moon. The only place where life is known to currently exist. Earth is 70% water.
• The surface of Mars has many craters, deep valleys and volcanoes.
• Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter has some of the largest moons
in the Solar System.
• Saturn is the second largest planet and is known for its rings, although the other gas
giants also have these kinds of rings, only Saturn’s rings can be seen the clearest.
• Uranus takes roughly 84 years to orbit once around the sun.
• Neptune is the furthest planet from the Sun and it takes 165 years for Neptune to go
once around the Sun.
These facts are interesting, aren’t they? Do you know any additional facts about our
Solar System? Please do share them with me. I can’t wait to hear from you.
Love,
Umairah
