Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the closest to the Sun, with a diameter of about 4,880 km. It has a dense metallic core, constituting roughly 75% of its volume, and a thin silicate crust23. Mercury's surface is heavily cratered due to impacts over billions of years, featuring notable formations like the Caloris Basin34.
Mercury has no moons or rings and experiences extreme temperature fluctuations. A day on Mercury lasts about 176 Earth days, while it completes an orbit around the Sun in just 88 Earth days

Mars is the fourth planet from the sun and has a distinct rusty red appearance and two unusual moons. The Red Planet is a cold, desert world within our solar system. It has a very thin atmosphere, but the dusty, lifeless planet is far from dull. The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet".

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It has a whopping 145 moons. It's the farthest planet from Earth that's visible to the unaided eye, but the planet's most outstanding features — its rings — are better viewed through a telescope. It is a gas giant with an average radius of about nine-and-a-half times that of Earth.
