Everything you need to know about the planets
What planet are you interested in?
Our solar system has 8 planets, but without each of them, we would not live on Earth today.
Mercury
Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the closest to the Sun.
Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun. It is sometimes called Earth's sister or twin planet as it is almost as large and has a similar composition.
Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only place known in the universe where life has originated and found habitability.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second-smallest planet in the Solar System, larger only than Mercury.
Jupiter
Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass more than two and a half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined, and slightly less than one 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.
Uranus
Neptune
Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun. It is named after Greek sky deity Uranus (Caelus), who in Greek mythology is the father of Cronus (Saturn), a grandfather of Zeus (Jupiter) and great-grandfather of Ares (Mars).
Black Hole
Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and the farthest known planet in the Solar System. It is the fourth-largest planet in the Solar System by diameter, the third-most-massive planet, and the densest giant planet. It is 17 times the mass of Earth, and slightly more massive than its near-twin Uranus.
Is this a singularity, or something else unknown and unexplored?
Exoplanets
An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.
The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is expected to discover more exoplanets, and also much more about exoplanets, including composition, environmental conditions and potential for life.
