Another kidsastronomy.com link that focuses its content on all planets. The info is clearly defined and presented. -
http://kidsastronomy.com/
An easy-to-use website with a cartoon-like interface. Much of the data is listed in miles and shows other planets in comparison to Earth. -

Not a very user-friendly interface. Contains nice, clear data. Be sure to use the navigation links on the left side of the page! -

The interface is better than some, worse than others. Contains some data on some topics. It is worth a look, especially for pictures and "other facts."
