24. Astronomy For Kids - Neptune - Main Page Provides details about the location, the visibility and the moons of this planet. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/neptune/neptune.htm

Where is It? Click Click Neptune is the eighth, or next to last, planet in our solar system. It is located in between Uranus and Pluto, and is a very long way away from the Sun. Its average distance from the Sun is almost 2.8 billion (2,800,000,000) miles, or over thirty times the distance from Earth to the Sun. The orbit, or path, Neptune follows around the Sun is almost a perfect circle. The closest Neptune gets to the Sun is about 2.7 billion miles, and the furthest away it gets is a little over 2.8 billion miles. At this distance, our Sun is just another bright light in Neptune's sky. Since Neptune is so far away from the Sun, one of its years, which is the amount of time it takes for the planet to go around, or orbit, the Sun once is a very long time. A year on Neptune lasts for 165 of our Earth years! A day on Neptune, though, is shorter than a day here on Earth. The gas planet spins, or rotates, once every sixteen hours. Can I See It? Click You can see Neptune, but you will need at least a pair of binoculars, and probably a telescope. Neptune is no larger than Uranus and is much further away, so it will be even harder to see than the blue-green planet. If you have dark skies and a good view to the southern horizon, you may be able to pick it out with your binoculars. Check the sky maps here at Astronomy for Kids to find out if Neptune can be seen during the month. The maps will tell you where and when to look for it.

28. Astronomy For Kids - Pluto Includes details about its location and facts related to visibility, size, surface and its moons. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/pluto/pluto.htm

Where is It? Click Pluto is the ninth, or last, planet in the solar system. The orbit, or path the planet takes around our Sun is an ellipse, or stretched out circle. For this reason there are times when Pluto is the furthest away from the Sun. There are also times when it is closer to the Sun than Neptune. Right now, Pluto is the furthest planet. Click Pluto is a very long way from the Sun. Its average distance from the Sun is over 3.5 billion (3,500,000,000) miles. The closest Pluto gets to the Sun is over 2.7 billion (2,700,000,000) miles, and the furthest away it gets is over 4.5 billion (4,500,000,000) miles. From Pluto, the Sun is not much brighter than any other star. Not only is Pluto a very long way from the Sun, but its orbit is tilted. If you could look at our solar system from an "edge", most of the planets would be on a line like a table top, with the Sun being in the middle. This line, also called a plane, is the ecliptic, and the rest of the planets' orbits stay on this line. Pluto's orbit, though is tilted at an angle to the rest of the solar system. Since Pluto is so far away from the Sun, one of its years, which is the time it takes for the planet to go around the Sun once, is a very long time. A year on Pluto lasts for 248 Earth years! A day on Pluto, which is the length of time it takes for the planet to spin around once, is also longer than a day here on Earth. It takes Pluto over six Earth days to spin around once. Pluto is also one of the planets that spins around in the opposite direction from Earth. This means that the dim Sun would rise in the West and set in the East.

29. Astronomy For Kids Provides a picture and brief facts about the planet. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/pluto.html

PLUTO Is the smallest planet. Its mass (weight) is 1/500th that of the Earth. Its diameter is about 1/6 that of our planet. Is the ninth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 5.9 billion kilometers from the Sun. Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 248 years. Rotates on its axis slowly when compared to Earth. It completes one rotation in about 6 days and 9 minutes. Is sometimes known as a double-planet because it has a moon (Charon) that orbits it. Has a total of 1 satellite (or moons).

32. Astronomy For Kids - Uranus Offers details about the location, the visibility, the size and the rings of this planet. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/uranus/uranus.htm

Where is It? Click Uranus is the seventh planet in our solar system, located in between Saturn and Neptune. Uranus is very far away from the Sun. Its average distance from the Sun is about one and three-quarters billion miles, or about twenty times the distance from the Sun to Earth. The path, or orbit, Uranus follows around the Sun is an ellipse, or stretched out circle, which means that Uranus' distance from the Sun varies from about 1.7 billion (1,700,000,000) miles at its closest to about 1.87 billion (1,870,000,00) miles at its furthest away. Click Since Uranus is so far away from the Sun, it takes it a very long to to go around the Sun once. A year on Uranus, the amount of time it takes for this trip, is 84 Earth years. A day on Uranus, which is the amount of time it takes for the plant to spin around, or rotate, once is shorter than a day here on Earth. The blue-green planet spins around once in a little over seventeen hours. One of the many odd facts about Uranus is that it is "lying on its side" as it faces the Sun. Earth faces the sun standing almost straight up, with the north and south poles at the top and bottom as it looks at the Sun. For some reason, Uranus has rolled over, so what we would think of as the south pole is facing the Sun. Scientists don't know why the planet does this, but it may be the result of a collision with some other body in space. Also, the planet rotates, or spins, from East to West which is the exact opposite of the way that Earth spins. Can I See It?

Harder - Astronomy, one of the oldest sciences, is the study of celestial bodies such as planets, stars, and other objects in space. Astronomers locate objects in the daytime or nighttime skies and measure their magnitudes and motions, searching to find what they are made of and how they create their light.

37. Astronomy For Kids - Venus Includes details about its location, its visibility, its size and its surface. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/venus/venus.htm

Where is It? Click Venus is the second planet from the Sun, located in between Mercury and Earth. The orbit, or path, Venus follows around the Sun is nearly circular, so the planet's distance from the Sun averages about 65 million miles. Being closer to the Sun, a Venusian year, the time it takes for it to complete a trip around the Sun, is just 225 days. Venus spins more slowly than Earth, though, so a day on Venus, the time it takes for the planet to turn once, is 243 days, which means that a day on Venus is longer than it's year! Even more strange is the fact that Venus rotates from East to West, which is just the opposite of Earth and most of the other planets. Can I See It? Click Yes, you can see Venus for several months each year, either in the morning or evening sky, and you don't need a telescope. Venus is called both the morning and evening star, and ancient astronomers thought it was two different objects. When it is visible, Venus is the second-brightest object in the night sky, being outshone only by the Moon. You would never guess that something that is so beautiful could be so unpleasant in reality (see What's It Like on the Surface below). Since Venus is closer to the Sun than we are here on Earth, you could see the planet going through phases like our Moon does if you have a telescope. Be sure to check to sky maps here at Astronomy for Kids. If Venus is going to be visible during a month, we will tell you where and when to see it.

38. Astronomy For Kids Offers details about the size, the position and the movement of the planet. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/venus.html
