Conditions Presence on Solar System Planets

Conditions presence on solar system planets
The solar system is made of the sun and all the components that revolve around it, which include
the planets, comets, moons, asteroids and meteoroids. The planets and their environmental
characteristics found in solar system include;
Mercury
It is the planet that is close to the sun, with no moon, its environment compose of small spherical
rocks which is almost half larger than the moon in the Earth, due to its proximity to the sun the
temperature on the side that is half lit at Mercury is extremely high at about 7500 F. While the
other half side in darkness is extremely cold that is capable to retain frozen gases, at a
temperature approximately at absolute zero. Mercury is believed that it has no atmosphere and
no occurrence of gaseous envelope is expected on these existing conditions on this planet.
Venus
According to Tellmann, Pätzold, Häusler, Bird and Tyler (2009) Venus is slightly smaller in size
and mass as compared to Earth, it is dense and has turbulent atmosphere that contains suspension
of white particles and also its opaque and no light of any wavelength is permitted to pass through
it. There is no detection of water and oxygen has been noted to occur on Venus, but there is
abundant presence of carbon dioxide on its atmosphere. The surface of Venus is dry, hot, dusty,
windy and dark. Carbon dioxide is the main atmospheric gas, with minor presence of nitrogen
and argon.
Mars
According to Segura, Walkowicz, Meadows, Kasting and Hawley (2010) Mars has an
atmosphere appreciable and its surface exhibits changes that are seasonable in patterns. It has a
thin layer of frozen water which is approximately a fraction of several inches of thickness. Its
atmospheric pressure that composes of mainly nitrogen is approximately 8% to 12% normal sea-
level of the Earth
Earth
The temperature on earth are conducive for existence of all the organism, there is abundant
existence of oxygen that support life to human being, there efficient percentage of other gases
that will support the existence of other organisms, water is efficient for survival of all living
organism.
