SOLAR SYSTEM
THE SUN
The Sun is the star at the center of the
Solar System.
It is a nearly perfect sphere of hot
plasma, heated to incandescence by
nuclear fusion reactions in its core,
radiating the energy mainly as visible light
and infrared radiation.
It is by far the most important source of
energy for life on Earth.
PLANETS IN SOLAR SYSTEM
Mercury Venus Earth Mars
Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune
MERCURY
Mercury is the smallest
planet in the Solar
System and the closest
to the Sun.
Its orbit around the Sun
takes 87.97 Earth days,
the shortest of all the
Sun's planets.
VENUS
Venus is the second planet
from the Sun.
It is named after the Roman
goddess of love and beauty.
As the brightest natural object
in Earth's night sky after the
Moon, Venus can cast

occasions, visible to the naked
eye in broad daylight.
EARTH
Earth is the third planet
from the Sun.
Earth is the only
astronomical object known
to harbor life.
It's About 29.2% of Earth's
surface is land consisting of
continents and islands.

JUPITER
Jupiter is the fifth planet
from the Sun and the largest
in the Solar System.
It is a gas giant with a mass
two and a half times that of
all the other planets in the
Solar System combined, but
less than one-thousandth
the mass of the Sun.
SATURN
 Saturn is the sixth planet from the
Sun and the second-largest in the
Solar System, after Jupiter.
 It is a gas giant with an average
radius of about nine and a half
times that of Earth.
 It only has one-eighth the average
density of Earth; however, with its
larger volume, Saturn is over 95
times more massive.
URANUS
 Uranus is the seventh planet from the
Sun.
 Its name is a reference to the Greek
god of the sky, Uranus, who, according
to Greek mythology, was the great-
grandfather of Ares, grandfather of
Zeus and father of Cronus.
 It has the third-largest planetary radius
and fourth-largest planetary mass in
the Solar System.
NEPTUNE
Neptune is the eighth and
farthest-known Solar planet from
the Sun.
In the Solar System, it is the
fourth-largest planet by diameter,
the third-most-massive planet,
and the densest giant planet.
It is 17 times the mass of Earth,
slightly more massive than its
near-twin Uranus.
