STORY 2
The Inner
Planets
The inner solar system is the
name of the terrestrial planets
and asteroid belt. Terrestrial is
just a fancy way of saying
rocky. Like the Earth,
terrestrial planets have a core
of iron and rock.
At the center of the solar system is the Sun. The Sun is a
big ball of hydrogen powered by nuclear reactions.
Massive explosions are going on all of the time inside the
Sun. It’s what makes the light every day and keeps our
planet warm. Light zips from the Sun to us in about eight
minutes. The Sun is the most massive thing in our solar
system. It is so big you could fit about a million Earths
inside of it!
Closest to the Sun is the planet
Mercury. You could squeeze
about eighteen Mercury’s inside
of Earth. It is made of mostly
rock, but it has a huge iron core
and it generates a big magnetic
field. Speedy little Mercury sails
around the sun in only eighty-
eight days. Mercury was the
messenger of the gods in Roman
mythology, known for his speed.
Second in line comes Venus,
which is sometimes called
Earth's twin. It's about the
same size as Earth, but that’s
where the similarities end.
Venus is always covered in
thick clouds full of sulfuric
acid. They whip around the
planet at more than two
hundred twenty mph.
Violent winds shoot sand made of silicate around
Venus’s very dry, arid surface. The temperature
averages nine hundred degrees, and the pressure’s
ninety times that on Earth. It takes two hundred and
twenty four days to orbit the sun. Like Mercury,
Venus was also named after a Roman Goddess, the
Goddess of love.
You know what planet is next.
You live on it! Yup, the Earth
is number three. We have a
rocky iron core at the center of
our planet. We have liquid
water, and our air is made of
mostly nitrogen and oxygen. It
takes three hundred and sixty-
five days for us to circle the
sun. We only have one moon.
Next to us in is Mars. Mars also
has a core of rock and iron. It is a
little more than half the size of
Earth. The most distinct feature
about Mars is its red color. Dust
rich in iron oxide covers the
planet. It’s sort of like the planet
is rusting. White caps at the poles
are water, forever frozen because
of the colder temperatures further
from the Sun.
The only place the temperature rises above freezing
is at the equator, or the middle of the planet. Mars
has two moons, Deimos and Phobos but they are
much smaller than our own moon. It takes nearly
twice as long for Mars to circle the sun at almost
684 days.
The last part of the inner solar system is called the
Asteroid Belt. It’s the line between the inner rocky
planets and the outer gaseous planets. Unlike the rest of
the Inner Solar System, the Asteroid Belt isn’t a planet
at all. It is a bunch of large rocky chunks, mostly
meteoroids. There's also a dwarf planet named Ceres in
the asteroid belt. The rest aren’t very large.
The Earth is the only planet that we know of
with life on it, but universe is a big place.
Much of our solar system is still a mystery,
there is still plenty to explore.
