Planets

Super Explorers take you deep into space to see the planets in our Solar System and beyond: ⢠Our Solar System has 8 planets, 5 dwarf planets and many minor planets. ⢠Most planets have at least one moon like Earth, but Jupiter has 69 moons and Saturn has 62! ⢠The Sun's gravity keeps the planets in our Solar System circling around it. ⢠Mercury is the closest planet to the sun; the temperature there is 117ËC (243ËF). ⢠Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun; the temperature there is â216ËC (â357ËF). ⢠Scientists think there may be extraterrestrial life on Enceladus, a moon of Saturn, because there may be liquid water under the surface!
