Evening Star
Venus, the second planet away from the sun, completes one revolution in about 225 earth days. It is a very bright heavenly body, which has a peak apparent magnitude of -4.6. This brightness is enough to cast shadows on earth. Because it shines most brightly right before the sun rises and right after the sun
Gravitational Pull of the Planets
Gravity is a natural occurrence in which physical objects are attracted toward one another. This attraction is proportional to the objects’ masses. Since the mass of each planet is different, the gravitational pull on an object will be different on each planet as well. Hence, an individual’s weight would vary depending on what planet they

Length of Year for Planets in Order
The length of a year on any given planet is determined by how long it takes for that planet to make one revolution around the sun. Since every planet travels at a different speed and has a different orbital path in regard to size and shape, the length of a year can vary greatly from planet

Orbital Speed of Planets in Order
The orbital speeds of the planets vary depending on their distance from the sun. This is because of the gravitational force being exerted on the planets by the sun. Additionally, according to Kepler’s laws of planetary motion, the flight path of every planet is in the shape of an ellipse. Below is a list of

Size of Planets in Order
The planets in our solar system are each very unique for various reasons. When it comes to their measurable sizes in diameter, the planets vary greatly. Jupiter, for example, is approximately 11 times the diameter of the Earth. Mercury, on the other hand, is 2.6 times smaller in diameter than the Earth. Below you will
