Draw a diagram showing the eight planets of the solar system in their orbits around the sun. Also prepare a table mentioning the length of their days and years.
Planet | Length of day | Length of year |
Mercury | 59 days | 88 days |
Venus | 243 days | 255 days |
Earth | 1 day (=24 hours) | 1 year(=365 days) |
Mars | 1 day(= about 24 hours) | 687 days |
Jupiter | 9.93 hours | 11.92 years |
Saturn | 10.67 hours | 29.42 years |
Uranus | 17.23 hours | 84 years |
Neptune | 16.12 hours | 164 years |
Remark: 1 day refers to 1 Earth day; 1 year refers to 1 Earth year. For example the table tells that 1 Jupiter year is as long as 11.92 Earth years, and that 1 Mars day is nearly as much as 1 Earth day.
