Planetary System

Padre is one of four planets that make up a family that revolves around Madre(Sun). Madre is the heat-releasing star. The closest planet to Madre is Mascota. Mascota has very little atmosphere and therefore its temperatures change dramatically. The side of Mascota that faces the sun has temperatures as high as 400 degrees Celsius,and the side away from the sun may reach a temperature as low as -200 degrees Celsius. As you can tell by the drastic changes in temperatures, it is impossible to live on this planet.

The next planet in our solar system is Nino. This planet has some of the characteristic present on Padre. The temperatures that we have observed are not as extreme as those on Mascota. However,they do seem to be somewhat higher than those on Padre.

Padre is the planet on which we have found the temperatures to be suitable for life. This planet is mainly composed of water. Therefore, the life forms that are present on this planet are aquatic in nature.

The last planet that makes up our solar system is Nina. This planet is approximately 250 million kilometers away from Madre. It is the smallest planet in our solar system. The temperatures on Nina vary from -100 to -200. The icy temperature makes it impossible for any life form to fully evolve.
