How Many Planets are in our Solar System? | Facts Amount The closest planet to the Sun is Mercury, followed by Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and the dwarf planet Pluto This is the order of the planets The smallest planet in our Solar System is Mercury, which is only one third the size of Earth, while the biggest planet in the Solar System is Jupiter, which is 11 times bigger
The Planets In Order | From The Sun, Information, History Definition The small planet has a diameter of 4 879 km 3 032 mi Venus The second closest planet to the Sun Venus is on average at a distance of 108 million km 67 million mi or 0 72 AU away from the Sun It is the hottest planet of the Solar system since its atmosphere keeps the temperatures almost consistently the same
Earth Facts | Surface, Atmosphere, Satellites, History Definition The realization that Earth is a planet, and a planet among many others was established “fairly” recently, in the 17 th century – this realization came through by the combined forces of ancient philosophers, mathematicians, and astronomers Plato correctly deduced that the Earth is spherical but this idea would take root and be proven much

Saturn Facts | Surface, Atmosphere, Moons, History Definition The rings of Saturn together with the planet itself can fit in the distance between the Earth and the Moon It is the most oblate planet in the Solar System, with its equatorial diameter of 120 536 km 74 897 mi, being greater than the planet's polar diameter of 108,728 km 67 560 mi If viewed from a small telescope it appears flattened
Introduction to the planets of our solar system A “planet” is a celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit
Distance Between Planets Of The Solar System | KM . . . - The Nine Planets The distance among each of the eight planets in our Solar System will alter depending on where each planet is in its orbit revolution around the Sun Depending on the time of year the distance can also differ significantly The main reason for the planets to vary their distance is due to elliptical orbits
Mercury Facts | Information, History, Location, Size Definition Because the planet has no atmosphere to retain that heat, nighttime temperatures on the surface can drop to -290 degrees Fahrenheit -180 degrees Celsius These changes in temperature are the most drastic in the entire Solar System Structure Mercury is a terrestrial planet having three main layers: a core, mantle and crust
Neptune Facts | Temperature, Surface, Information, History Definition Until Pluto’s eccentric orbit was understood and its status dropped from that of a planet to a dwarf planet, Neptune was considered the second furthest planet from the Sun Neptune has a radius of 15 387 miles or 24 764 kilometers, about four times wider than Earth, and a diameter of 49 244 km or 30 598 mi being the fourth largest planet of
