Because Mercury goes round the Sun so quickly, the planet was called after the messenger of the Roman Gods. The messenger Mercury, or Hermes as the Greeks knew him, is usually shown as having wings on his helmet or on his sandals.Mercury has no atmosphere around it to protect it from the Sun or to retain any heat when it rotates on its axis.The surface of Mercury is covered with craters and completely dry. There is no possibility of life on Mercury.
2. Uranus has a total of 27 moons, most of whom are named after characters in Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream. The five major moons are called Titania, Oberon, Miranda, Ariel and Umbriel. Umbriel is not from Shakespeare but is the “melancholy sprite” in a poem by Alexander Pope.Uranus takes 17.9 hours to turn once on its own axis, faster than the Earth, which takes 24 hours and gives us the change from day to night.

Uranus was the ancient Greek God of the heavens whose sons were the Giants and Titans.Uranus is 1782 million miles, or 2869 million kilometres from the Sun.
Uranus was first seen by William Herschel in 1781 during a survey of the sky using a telescope. In 1782 George III appointed Herschel as Astronomer Royal.

1. Like all the other planets Mercury orbits round the Sun, but its orbit of the Sun lasts for only 88 days. The Earth’s orbit lasts for 365 days and Pluto’s orbit takes 249 YEARS!

3. Neptune has a diameter of 29,297 miles, or 47,150 kilometres. Like all the other planets in the Solar System, Neptune moves in an orbit round the Sun at the centre of the system. It takes Neptune 165 of our Earth years to orbit the Sun. The Earth orbits the Sun in 365 days, one year. In the same year that Neptune was first seen, 1846, its first moon was also spotted and named Triton.Triton is a most unusual moon since it orbits Neptune in the opposite direction of Neptune’s own rotation on its axis. All the other major satellites (moons) in the Solar System follow their planets round as they turn.
