In Depth | Our Solar System – NASA Solar System Exploration Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids
Planet Compare - NASA Solar System Exploration NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system
In Depth | Triton – NASA Solar System Exploration Like our own moon, Triton is locked in synchronous rotation with Neptune―one side faces the planet at all times But because of its unusual orbital inclination both polar regions take turns facing the Sun
In Depth | Titan – NASA Solar System Exploration Titan is bigger than Earth's moon, and larger than even the planet Mercury This mammoth moon is the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere, and it’s the only world besides Earth that has standing bodies of liquid, including rivers, lakes and seas, on its surface
Jupiter - NASA Solar System Exploration Facts About Jupiter Jupiter is the largest and oldest planet in our solar system If Jupiter was a hollow shell, 1,000 Earths could fit inside But the "King of Planets" is no lumbering giant — Jupiter has the shortest day in the solar system, taking about 9 9 hours to spin around once on its axis
The Sun By the Numbers – NASA Solar System Exploration The Sun is the star at the heart of our solar system Its gravity holds the solar system together, keeping everything – from the biggest planets to the smallest bits of debris – in its orbit
In Depth | Europa – NASA Solar System Exploration Like our planet, Europa is thought to have an iron core, a rocky mantle, and an ocean of salty water Unlike Earth, however, Europa’s ocean lies below a shell of ice probably 10 to 15 miles (15 to 25 kilometers) thick, and has an estimated depth of 40 to 100 miles (60 to 150 kilometers)
