The Solar System Multiwavelength Milky Way. Our solar system consists of an average star we call the Sun, the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. It includes: the satellites of the planets; numerous comets, asteroids, and meteoroids; and the interplanetary medium.

Planet In order of increasing distance from the Sun, they are the four terrestrials, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, then the four giant planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Six of the planets are orbited by one or more natural satellites.

Planet The planets of the Solar System can be divided into categories based on their composition: 1  Terrestrials: Planets that are similar to Earth, with bodies largely composed of rock: Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. At 0.055 Earth masses, Mercury is the smallest terrestrial planet (and smallest planet) in the Solar System.

Welcome Introduction. We have nine planets in our Solar System. These planets circle around the sun (as I’m sure you know already) this is called orbits. A lot of astronomy people like to think of the Solar System been made up in two parts We have the Inner Solar System which has Mercury, Venus, Earth and not forgetting Mars.

Earth A planet is a celestial body that revolves around a star. In our solar system, Earth is the third planet from the sun. The word planet comes from the Greek planetes, which means wanderer.. Since ancient times, people have been fascinated by the wandering of celestial bodies in the night sky.

The Inner Planets of Our Solar System For starters, the inner planets are rocky and terrestrial, composed mostly of silicates and metals, whereas the outer planets are gas giants. The inner planets are also much more closely spaced than their outer Solar System counterparts.

- Inner Planets. The inner four planets are called terrestrial planets. That means that they are like the earth in some ways. The terrestrial planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and the earth's moon have similar compositions and densities. These planets are close to the sun, rocky, and dense. They are fairly small.

The Dwarf Planet Eris According to this definition, our solar system has a minimum of 14 planets and counting: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ceres, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, Charon (a binary planet system), Haumea, Makemake, and Eris.

Terrestrial planet The terrestrial planets of the Solar System: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, sized to scale. A terrestrial planet, telluric planet, or rocky planet is a planet that is composed primarily of silicate rocks or metals. Within the Solar System, the terrestrial planets are the inner planets closest to the Sun, i.e. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. The terms terrestrial planet and telluric planet are derived from Latin words for Earth (Terra and Tellus), as these planets are, in terms of composition, Earth-like.

Introduction to Planets By Jan Spiller Introduction to Planets. Description. There are ten primary planets in Astrology:the SUN, the MOON, MERCURY, VENUS, MARS, JUPITER, SATURN, URANUS, NEPTUNE and PLUTO. Astrology studies how the heavenly bodies affect the Earth, and how they influence living beings.

- The four innermost planets in our solar system, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are considered rocky, or terrestrial planets, because they are made mostly of metals and carbo … n and silicon compounds (rock).he first four planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, and Earth) are called the inner planets which are closer to the sun and stripped of their light gasses by the sun's solar winds.

- The charted regions of the Solar System comprise the Sun, four rocky inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth & Mars), the asteroid belt and four gas giant outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus & Neptune).They are called inner and outer planets because or their orbital position near to or far away form the Sun.upiter is a planet and it goes in this order: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, (those were the inner planets and now are the outer planets.)Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and if Pluto were a planet it would be last but you should remember that it is not.

What Are the Temperatures of the Nine Planets? The names of the nine planets in the solar system are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. However, astronomers have reclassified Pluto as a dwarf planet.

Solar system The inner planets (those planets that orbit close to the sun) are quite different from the outer planets (those planets that orbit far from the sun). 1  The inner planets are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are relatively small, composed mostly of rock, and have few or no moons.

General Astronomy/Print version Artist’s impression of the solar system showing the inner planets (Mercury to Mars), the outer planets (Jupiter to Neptune) and beyond. Credit: NASA. In our Solar System, astronomers often divide the planets into two groups — the inner planets and the outer planets. The inner planets are closer to the Sun and are smaller and rockier. The outer planets are further away, larger and made up mostly of gas. The inner planets (in order of distance from the sun, closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. After an asteroid belt comes the outer planets, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The interesting thing is, in some other planetary systems discovered, the gas giants are actually quite close to the sun.

THE THOUSAND-YARD MODEL or, The Earth as a Peppercorn Terrestrial and Jovian Planets. With the exception of Pluto, planets in our solar system are classified as either terrestrial (Earth-like) or Jovian (Jupiter-like) planets. Terrestrial planets include Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These planets are relatively small in size and in mass. A terrestrial planet has a solid rocky surface, with metals deep in its interior. In the solar system, these planets are closer to the sun and are therefore warmer than the planets located farther out in the solar system.

Solar System The four outer planets, or giant planets (sometimes called Jovian planets), collectively make up 99% of the mass known to orbit the Sun. All four giant planets have rings, although only Saturn's ring system is easily observed from Earth.

- Earth and the other three inner planets of our solar system (Mercury, Venus and Mars) are made of rock, containing common minerals like feldspars and metals like magnesium and aluminum.

Planets Of Our Solar System Mercury is the closet planet from the sun. Pluto is no longer considered a planet instead astronauts believe it was a space rock that got lost in orbit. Neptune is the smallest of the gas giant planets in our solar system.

Our Solar System The Solar System is made up of all the planets that orbit our Sun. In addition to planets, the Solar System also consists of moons, comets, asteroids, minor planets, and dust and gas. Everything in the Solar System orbits or revolves around the Sun. The Sun contains around 98% of all the material in the Solar System. The larger an object is, the more gravity it has.

- Excellent question! The planets in our solar system are each made out of different things. The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are relatively small rocky planets made up mostly of silicate minerals and iron and nickel metal. Most of the earth is made up of only three elements: iron, silicon, and oxygen.
