The planets closest to the Sun
Human life would not have a place on either of the two planets closest to the Sun. Not surprisingly, the position of Venus and Mercury within the Solar System makes these two planets in the hottest of the Milky Way, reaching very high temperatures on its surface, very far from those recorded on Earth.
In this lesson from a TEACHER we are going to discover planets closest to the Sun so that you know them in detail.
Venus and Mercury are two unique planets in our Solar system that on certain occasions can be perfectly visible from Earth, especially at dawn.
Mercury has a temperature that borders 350 degrees Celsius during the day and 103 Celsius at night, the surface of Mercury presents numerous impacts caused by meteorites that give rise to craters, which support strong erosion as a result of sudden changes in temperature.
The planet closer to the Sun and also the smallest of our Solar System, it is part of that group of rocky planets that lack satellites.
Behind Mercury and before Earth is the planet Venus, in honor of the Roman goddess of love. Its characteristics are quite similar to those of our planet, in terms of size, mass and composition is concerned, although totally different if we study its thermal temperature and analyze its atmosphere.
Numerous space investigations have revealed that the surface of Venus oscillates between 457 and 474 degrees Celsius, as confirmed in 1970 by the first probe sent to the planet. However, the most curious and unpublished fact about Venus is the phenomenon of the lights Ashen, which is a slight yellowish glow occasionally seen from Earth.
A phenomenon that arouses all kinds of opinions because for some it is nothing more than an optical illusion, while that other experts claim to have evidence of its existence in thunderstorms that take place in the atmosphere of Venus.
