Blank page result

I checked my code, there is no syntax error. However, when I press preview, there is no result ... just a blank page.

const  planet=[
  {
  name: 'Mars',
  diameter: '4,212 mi',
  moons: '2',
  temp: '-153 to 20 Β°C',
  orbitDays: '687',
  orbitYears: '1.9',
  description: 'The fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the solar system. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars is also often described as the β€œRed Planet” due to its reddish appearance. It\'s a terrestrial planet with a thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide.',
  facts: 'Mars has the largest dust storms in the solar system. They can last for months and cover the entire planet. On Mars the Sun appears about half the size as it does on Earth.'

Mod edit: added markdown syntax for code. You can add three backticks on the line before and after your code to help with forum display. Check out the "markdown cheatsheet" linked below the comment box for more examples.

Hi Terence,

Your array is named "planet" and you are mapping over "planets". If you change your array to be called "planets" it will match the code in the video and should display correctly.

Make sure you correct the variable naming convention:

const planets

Then you should be able to compile your code
