Neptune was discovered in 1846 and was discovered when someone worked out that Uranus was being pulled slowly by another object which turned out to be Neptune. The space probe voyager 2 flew to Uranus then used Uranus's gravity to fling itself to Neptune and is now flying beyond Neptune and pluto to unknown space.

Earth is the third planet from the sun and is the only planet in our solar system not to be named after a Roman deity god. Earth was formed approximately4.54 billion years ago and is the only planet to support life. Earth is the only planet that has oxygen and gravity and is the only planet that has liquid water on its surface. Earth is the fifth largest planet. Earth weights 5,927,000,000,000,000,000,000 tons and is still getting heavier. Earth Gains 40,000 tons every 5 months. Earth has a powerful magnetic field. Earth is the only planet not named after a god. Earth was once believed to be the center of the universe and is moving around the sun at 67,000 mile and 107,826 km per hour. The first picture of earth taken from space was in October 1946. There are more than 3,000 spacecraft's currently orbiting the earth. Earth is 93 million miles or 150 km from the sun. It takes earth 366.26 days to go around the sun. Earth is the first planet to have a moon and has 4 layers. If you drilled a tunnel straight threw earth and jumped in it would take you 42 minute to get to the other side. It takes 8 minutes and 20 seconds for light to travel from the sun to earth. The earths core is about as hot as the sun. Earth days are getting longer by 1.7 milliseconds every century. If earth didn't have the moon our days would only be 6 hours long. Earth could eventually have a 1000 hour day in 50 billion years because the time it takes earth to spin once on its axis keeps increasing. From a distance earth would be the brightest of the planets. This is because sunlight is reflected of the planets water.
Venus is the sisth largest planet in our solar system.Venus and Mercury are the only planets without moons.Venus is the only planet that rotate clockwise.After the sun and moon Venus is the next brightest object in our night sky.A day on Venus is 243 earth days.Venus is the only planet named after a female Roman god of love and beauty.There are more volcano's on Venus then ant other planet.Venus is the closest to a twin of earth.Winds swipe across Venus at superfast speeds that can reach 450 milesan hour.Venus is so bright they think sometimes it could be a UFO.Venus is about same size as earth.Venus is 67 million miles or 108 million km from the sun.Venus doesen't have a magnetic feild and is the hottest planet even if Mercury is closer to the sun.Venus was the first planet to be observed by a pussing spacecraft.Venus is 4.6 billion years old.Venus is slighty smaller than earth.The pressure of Venus is 92 times stronger than earth's.The surface of Venus is really dry.
