Question

1. describe the physical properties of the planets and their locations.

planets in order from sun\tcharacteristics

Explanation:

Mercury: Closest to the Sun. Small, rocky planet with no substantial atmosphere, high - temperature variations.
Venus: Second planet from the Sun. Similar in size to Earth, has a thick, toxic atmosphere mainly of carbon dioxide, very high surface temperatures.
Earth: Third planet. Has a life - supporting atmosphere, liquid water on the surface, a rocky mantle and iron core.
Mars: Fourth planet. Rocky, with a thin atmosphere, has polar ice caps, evidence of past water flow.
Jupiter: Fifth planet. Largest gas giant, has a thick atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, has the Great Red Spot (a giant storm).
Saturn: Sixth planet. Another gas giant, known for its prominent ring system made of ice and rock particles.
Uranus: Seventh planet. Ice - giant, has a tilted axis of rotation, atmosphere of hydrogen, helium and methane.
Neptune: Eighth planet. Ice - giant, has the fastest winds in the solar system, blue color due to methane in the atmosphere.
