Planet: Mars 1: - Mars is red because its soil is very oxidized (iron oxide). 2: - The brightest stars in the night sky are not really stars, but the planets Jupiter, Venus, Mars and Mercury. 3: - The Martian dust storms that occur every two or four years on Mars are so powerful that they can cover the entire planet with dust for months. 4: - The Martian "day" is only a little longer than a day on Earth. On Mars, one day lasts 24 hours, 37 minutes, 23 seconds, while on Earth, one day lasts 23 hours 56 minutes, 04 seconds. 5: - Scientists have gathered many evidences that suggest that Mars was once significantly more habitable than it is today, but scientists are still far from responding if there were ever living organisms on Mars or not. 6: - Mars is rich in water ice, in fact, NASA in 2007 stated that the volume of water ice in the ice cap of the South Pole, if it melted, would be enough to cover the entire planetary surface at a depth of 11 m

Planet: Jupiter 1: - Jupiter's moon, Ganymede, is the largest moon in our solar system, larger than the planet Mercury, and is the first known moon that has its own magnetic field. 2: - The Sun contains more than 99.8 percent of the total material (mass) in our solar system, while Jupiter contains most of the rest. 3: - Jupiter rotates in less than 10 hours, which means that the planet's surface moves at almost 50,000 km / h. 4: - Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 crashed into Jupiter in July 1994, with the biggest accident ever seen. 5: - When Jupiter was formed it was much hotter and twice the size it is now, it continues to decrease at a speed of 2 centimeters per year due to heat radiation. 6: - Jupiter's core is not metallic, but due to the immense pressure inside Jupiter, the core has become a metal. This metal is liquid metallic hydrogen. 7: Jupiter has 2.5 times the mass of all the other planets in the solar system combined, and it would ta

If you are having problems remembering the planets in their correct order, just remember this sentence:-  " My very educated mother just served us nine pickles ," Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (now a 'dwarf-planet', not a planet anymore).

Pluto.  1: - The Sun looks 1600 times weaker from Pluto than from Earth. 2: - One year in Pluto is equal to 248 Earth years. 3: - Pluto has not finished an orbit since it was discovered in 1930, taking 248 years to go around the Sun. 4: - About 20 years ago, Pluto's moon, Charon, was discovered. 5: - A day on the planet Pluto is approximately the duration of a week on Earth. 6: - Sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach Earth, 12 minutes and 47 seconds to reach Mars, and 5.5 hours to reach Pluto. 7: - Until 2006 Pluto was considered one of the planets of our solar system, but since 2006 it is classified in a new category called "dwarf planets". 8: Pluto was discovered in 1930 by astronomer Clyde Tombaugh. 9: While it may seem obvious what a planet is, the definition has become more complex since 2006 when the International Astronomical Union voted to reduce Pluto's status (discovered in 1930 and considered a planet since then) to a
