   Venus is the second planet from the Sun, and the sixth largest planet. It’s the hottest planet in our solar system.

4. 10 Need-to-Know Things About Venus - NASA Solar System...

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/module/89

   Venus was the first planet explored by a spacecraft and was intensely studied early in the history of space exploration. Venus was also the first planet whose surface was reached by a spacecraft from Earth. The intense heat means landers have only survived for a couple of hours.

   Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids.

7. What is a Planet? | Planets – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/in-depth.amp

   A planet is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit.

8. In Depth | Uranus – NASA Solar System Exploration

   solarsystem.nasa.gov/planets/uranus/in-depth.amp

   For nearly a quarter of each Uranian year, the Sun shines directly over each pole, plunging the other half of the planet into a 21-year-long, dark winter. Uranus is also one of just two planets that rotate in the opposite direction than most of the planets (Venus is the other one), from east to west. Moons. Moons. Uranus has 27 known moons.

9. Magellan Summary Sheet - NASA Solar System Exploration
