Show There's Mercury... Can you name the planets in the sun's solar system? There are nine, counting this earth. THE EIGHT others are Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune Nep-tune and Pluto. Mercury and Venus are closer to the sun than earth, but all the others are farther away. Venus, Mars and Mercury come closest to the earth in their orbits, in that order. Mercury is by far the brightest of the planets of the system, Venus next. ALL CAN be seen at various times of the seasons at night but Pluto, Neptune, Uranus and Saturn, in that order, are most difficult to locate, often requiring a telescope. |
