Sorry if the sound it too
loud! Here are a few
facts...The Sun: The Sun is by

solar system. It contains more
than 99.8% of the total mass
of the Solar SystemMercury: In
Roman mythology Mercury is the
god of commerce, travel and
thievery, the Roman
counterpart of the Greek god
Hermes, the messenger of the
Gods. The planet probably
received this name because it
moves so quickly across the
sky.Venus: Venus is the
goddess of love and beauty.
The planet is so named
probably because it is the
brightest of the planets
known to the ancients.Earth:
Earth is the only planet whose
English name does not derive
from Greek/Roman mythology.
The name derives from Old
English and Germanic. There
are, of course, hundreds of
other names for the planet in
other languages. In Roman
Mythology, the goddess of the
Earth was Tellus Mars: Mars
(Greek: Ares) is the god of
War. The planet probably got
this name due to its red
color; Mars is sometimes
referred to as the Red Planet.
Jupiter: Jupiter (a.k.a. Jove;
Greek Zeus) was the King of
the Gods, the ruler of Olympus
and the patron of the Roman
state. Saturn: In Roman
mythology, Saturn is the god
of agriculture. The associated
Greek god, Cronus, was the son
of Uranus and Gaia and the
father of Zeus Uranus: Careful
pronunciation may be necessary
to avoid embarrassment; say
'YOOR a nus' , not 'your anus'
or 'urine us'. Neptune: In
Roman mythology Neptune
(Greek: Poseidon) was the god
of the Sea. Pluto: Pluto
orbits beyond the orbit of
Neptune (usually). It is much
smaller than any of the
official planets and now
classified as a 'dwarf
planet'. Pluto is smaller than
seven of the solar system's
moons
