At day, Mercury’s temperatures soar to up to 817 degrees. At night, it drops down to –55. Mercury is also very rocky. In 1990, a rover was sent to Mercury and it took a picture of a rock that was like a burgundy color. It takes Mercury just 88 days to orbit the sun. Venus Venus is the second planet from the sun. It is also the hottest planet in our solar system. The temperature can be up to 920 degrees. Venus has a lot of gas. A whole lot. It takes Venus 255 days to orbit the sun. Earth
