planet's

Mercury

Mercury is the closets planet to the sun. It is a very heavy planet as it consists mainly of iron. After Earth, Mercury is the next densest planet. Mercury's surface is covered with large craters that have been caused by collisions with asteroids and comets. Mercury has a very thin atmosphere. Highest temperature: approximately 430 degrees C. Lowest temperature:-180 degrees C. It takes this planet 88 day to orbit the sun and 59 days to rotate on its own axis. Mercury is approximately 58 million kilometers from the sun.It does have any moons.Mercury (planet)

Venus

Venus is the second planet in our solar system. The atmosphere if Venus predominantly consists pf carbon dioxide. Venus also does not have an ozone layer, As a result the UV rays of the sun decompose almost all the water. This causes Venus to be a dry planet . Venus has many volcanoes on its surface. It is the hottest planet in our solar system . Average temperature :approximately 467 degrees C. Orbiting the sun takes 225 days and it takes 243 days to rotate around its own axis, Venus is approximately 108 million kilometers away from the sun. it has no moons.venus

Earth

Earth will be discussed in greater detail later. Orbiting the sun takes 365,25 days and Earth takes 24 hours to rotate is own axis. Earth only has one moon. Earth is approximately 150 million kilometers away from the sun.earth

Mars

Mars is a planet with an ice cold desert. There are dust storms which produce yellow dust clouds. Mars is also known as the "RED PLANET" , as it its surface is red. Temperatures range from 17 degrees C to -87 degrees C. Orbiting the sun takes 687 days and rotation around its own axis takes 24,6 hours. Mars is approximately 228 million kilometers from the sun. Mars has only two moons named Deimos and Phobos.mars

Jupiter

Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system. Jupiter is known as a gas giant as it does not any solid surfaces. Jupiter is a very stormy planet. The eye of jupiter is a huge red dot on the planet , which is actually a swirling storm.jupiter Temperature:-125 degrees C to 17 degrees C. Orbiting the sun takes 4332 days and Jupiter orbits its own axis 9,8 hours. Jupiter has 63 moons orbiting it.

Saturn

Saturn is famous for the beautiful rings around it. it is also a gas giant, and is the second largest planet in our solar system . Saturn is mostly made up of hydrogen and helium, the two lightest elements in the universe. This makes Saturn the lightest planet in our solar system. Average temperature :-185 degrees C. Orbiting the sun takes 29,5 years and it rotates its own axis every 10,5 hours. Saturn is approximately 1429 million kilometers away from the sun. Saturn has 53 moons.saturn

Uranus

Uranus is also a gas giant. Uranus does not rotate in the same manner as its fellow planets; it spins on its side. Uranus has rings. Average temperature : approximately -221 degrees C. Orbiting the sun takes 84 years and it takes 17 hours to rotate around its own axis . Uranus is approximately 2871 million kilometers away from the sun. It has 27 moons.Uranus

Neptune

Neptune is the smallest pf the four gas giants. Neptune has a large white cloud in its atmosphere that moves around at a high speed. This causes the planet to be very windy. Average temperature: appromximately -218 degrees C. Orbiting the sun takes 164,8 years and rotation around its own axis take 16 hours. There are six rings around the planet. Neptune is approximately 4496 million kilometer away from the sun. Neptune has 13 moons.Neptune

Pluto

Pluto wasn't a planet at first mainly because it was very small, Meaning they could not see it. It is called a dwarf planet. it is very cold on Pluto, approximately -230 degrees C. Pluto has a moon but it is way smaller then its fellow planets moons/moon.Dwarf planet Solar System Solar System Research Solar System model Solar System Exploration Research Virtual Institute Formation and evolution of the Solar System

British take-over of diamond-rich land in Griqualand West

Many people came to Kimberley to look for diamonds. Diamond mining was hard, physical work. NeeshResearch's (talk) 19:33, 14 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Diamonds were first found along Vaal river in the northern cape in 1867. The first diamonds were found in rivers. Diggers collected small stones from the bottom of a river, and washed and sorted them, hoping to find diamonds. Many people hoped to get rich, but most were unsuccessful. Later on, diamonds were found in the ground. These were called 'dry diggings'. The most important were at Kimberley.Diamond

After the discovery of diamonds , an argument began about who owned the land where they had been found. The four groups who claimed the area were the Griqua, the Batlhaping, and the governments of Orange free state and the Transvaal. A committee and eventually he decided that the land belonged to the Griqua. The Griqua chief, Nicolaas Waterboer, asked the British for help to control the diamond fields as the coloney of Griqualand West. History of South Africa
