My OMG Facts: Five Planets closest to the Sun (page 1 of 2)

This My OMG Facts will remain true for the next thousands of years unless planet Mars will go off-orbit or some world renowned scientists declares that giant chunk of floating rock named Mercury is no longer qualified to be called a planet anymore. Until then, we will all have to stick to these facts about the planets closest to the sun and go on with our lives.




Jupiter (The Jupiter Wiki? Try this new article about Jupiter!)
      Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun and the largest planet within the Solar System. It is a giant gas planet which is composed mostly of hydrogen and helium.
     Currently, many ambitious businessmen are now working hand-in-hand with some ambitious scientists to find ways to tap the Jupiter's massive supply of helium back here on earth. Many business experts has foreseen that their will be a great increase in demand of helium based party balloons within the next few decades as a result of the ever growing human population. This phenomenon has presented a new and lucrative business opportunity in the future.




Mars(The Mars Wiki? Try this new article about Mars!)
      Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and it has half the diameter compared to Earth. The planet is named after its original inhabitants, the Martians, who went extinct thousands of years ago. The surface of Mars mostly consists of iron oxide which gives its reddish appearance. 
      Terraforming Mars was in fact already proposed several years ago and research have confirm that it is very possible and economically feasible. What halted the humanity from terraforming Mars until now are actually the world renowned scientists who are involved in this project. They are still arguing with each other whether to go for the Japanese garden design or French garden design in landscaping the Mars surface. Both parties refuse to proceed into the implementation of terraforming Mars until one them gives in with the other parties demand.

My OMG Facts: Five Planets closest to the Sun (page 2 of 2)




Earth(The Earth Wiki? Try this new article about Earth!)
      Earth is the 3rd planet from the Sun and the densest of the eight planets in the Solar System. Home to millions of live organic species including humans, Earth is currently the most populated astronomical body in the solar system. About 71% of the surface is covered with salt water oceans; the rest is land and garbage.
       The diameter of Earth is 12,756 km and the Earth rotation spins at 24 hours per day (OMG! I never knew that!). If you can compute the our planet's circumference and speed of rotation, I bet you can make your teacher say "OMG" too! Especially if you're computing while not wearing anything...  





Venus(The Venus Wiki? Try this new article about Venus!)
      Venus is the 2nd planet from the Sun with size and gravity nearly similar to Earth. The atmosphere of Venus consist of an opaque layer of sulfuric acid cloud and its surface is mostly covered with volcanoes and lava, making it a bad picnic destination.
      





Mercury(The Mercury Wiki? Try this new article about Mercury!)
      Mercury is the nearest planet from the sun and smallest planet in the Solar System. It has a rocky body which consists of approximately 70% metallic and 30% silicate material.
      When the nerdy scientists from NASA are asked what can we benefit from this planet in the near future, most of them responded; "production of robots with b00b implants". No wonder they are very eager to mine this planet for its resources.

I would like to apologize to all fans of Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, my blog is only about the top 5 planets. And to all Pluto fans… I really don’t want to discriminate but please accept the fact Pluto is not a planet and you don’t belong here.
