The closest terrestrial planet to the sun is Mercury. Mercury is relatively small‚ and technically the eighth largest of all the planets. It is actually smaller in diameter than the moons Ganymede and Titan. Mercury has been visited by only one spacecraft‚ and that was the Mariner 10. The temperature variations on Mercury are the most extreme of any in the solar system. Temperatures range from 90K to 700K. Venus is slightly hotter‚ but much more stable. Mercury is in many ways similar to the

The mission plan for Voyager 1 and 2 was to look at all the gas giants in the solar system they called this plan the grand tour‚ the planets include were Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. Voyager 1 was the first spacecraft ever to take detailed pictures of the moons of Saturn and Jupiter. Voyager 2 is a very special space craft due to the fact that it vistited all 4 gas giants via a very special geometric arragement of the planets in which only happens every 176 years
