Basic Information You Should Know About Our Planets | Solar System

There are 8 Planets in our Solar System. From Mercury-Neptune and all have their unique features. So let's take a quick trip to know more about are Planets.

Lets start:

--> No.of Moons: 0
--> The smallest planet in the Solar System.
--> No atmosphere. So, -180 Degree Celsius when it is not facing the Sun. And 420 Degree Celsius when it is facing the Sun.

~Okay, let me explain. First off all there is No ATMOSPHERE so no Green House Effect to keep the planet Warm during the Night time and there is no Ozone Layer, Dust etc. to protect the planet from UV Rays and the planet warms up too much.

2) Venus: Tilt of Axis: 177.4 Degree
