What planets have the weirdest cycles?
Mercury is a strange planet. Not very
hospitable, temperature going from -173 to 427, which freaking sucks. For a
human.
I always thought it was interesting how it
takes 88 days for the planet to go around the sun (it’s the closet planet to
the sun). But it takes 176 days for the planet to fully rotate.
Essentially, its day is twice as long as its
year.
What’s crazy too, it’s actually not the
hottest planet either. Even though it is right near the sun. That’s because it
has no atmosphere. Cooling effects are quicker.
Venus:
On the other hand, hangs out 460–472C. Not
even a tardigrade can hang with that. But Venus does have a lot in common with
Earth otherwise. It’s of similar size and has a core, mantle, and crust.
Also, and I’m not sure why, but Venus spins in
the opposite direction of every other planet in the solar system. Space is a
weird place.
