Mercury and Venus

Hello everybody, today we are going to learn about Mercury and Venus. Let’s first talk about Mercury's surface temperature. At day time Mercury can be very hot like 800 degrees Fahrenheit which is very very hot! But at night it can go up to -170 degrees Celsius. Oh! I forgot to tell you the reason why this happens. Since Mercury is the closest planet to the sun that is why it is very hot .Mercury barely has an atmosphere. Since it barely has an atmosphere to trap the heat from daytime, night temperatures become very cold.

Do you know Mercury is the closest planet to the sun and has an iron core, while Venus is mainly carbon dioxide and is the sixth largest planet in the solar system? I am now going to give a comparison and contrast of these two planets. Well one thing for sure, they are both really hot and they both can be seen passing across the face of the sun. The differences are the days on the planet are different like a day on Venus is equal to about 8 months longs while a day on Mercury is equal to 55 earth days. Do you know that life is unlikely on Venus because Venus has lot of volcanoes?  

The name Mercury comes from the Roman messenger God. While the name Venus comes from the roman god of love and beauty Aphrodite. Some interesting facts are that Venus’s atmosphere is rapidly spinning. Mercury has no atmosphere, it has a thin exosphere. I hope I was able to give some good information on Mercury and Venus, well guys I have to go now so good bye.
