Mercury’s average temperature during the day time 800°F (430°C) hot enough to melt some metals and freezing nights dropping to -290°F (-180°C)....

The second planet in the Solar System – Venus

Venus is the second planet from the sun and it has a diameter of 12,104 kilometres. It is very much similar to Earth’s diameter of 12,756 kilometers. Venus is also called the sister of earth. It is a terrestrial planet composed mainly of rock and metal. Its atmosphere consists of 96 % carbon dioxide and other gases like nitrogen and sulfur dioxide. The atmospheric pressure is 90 times greater than the pressure of the earth....

Neptune

Neptune is the farthest planet from the Sun. It has a average temperature around (-214 degree Celsius and -353 degrees F) that makes it one of the coldest planets of our solar system. It is the third largest planet in our solar system. Neptune has a diameter larger than the Earth. Its blue colour is even deeper due to the increased abundance of methane in its atmosphere....

Conclusion

Planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun in a fixed orbit. The solar system is a vast collection of celestrial bodies orbiting the star that we call it sun. Our solar system consists of eight planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The Earth is the only planet that supports life and that has a favourable environment. Moon is the natural satellite that orbits the planet. Earth has one Moon but Jupiter has the most Moons it has over 50 Moons....
