When they get closest to the sun its called perihelion and when its farthest away its called aphelion.

Solar system and their distance from the sun. They orbit the star in ellipses which means their distance to the sun varies depending on where they are in their orbits. In many ways mars is similar to earth. Our solar system revolves around the sun hence the name solar system.

It is also known as the red planet because of its reddish hue which is due to the prevalence of iron oxide on its surface. Jupiter the largest planet in the solar system is 4838 million miles away from the sun. Mars is the fourth planet from the sun at a distance of about 228 million km 142 million miles or 152 au.

As with all the planets mercury is not always the same distance from the sun. An au is simply the average distance between the earth and the sun. The inner planets are rocky and have diameters of less than 13000 kilometers.

In our system we have 4 terrestrial planets 4 gas giants and a mysterious 9th planet. It has a diameter of 88729 miles which means that you can fit all the other planets inside it and over a dozen earths can line up across it. Point out that as one travels to the outer solar system the great distance from the sun means that it is quite cold.

The outer planets include jupiter saturn uranus and neptune. The eight planets in our solar system each occupy their own orbits around the sun. Mercury is the closest planet to the sun.

The smaller inner planets include mercury venus earth and mars. Because the earths orbit around the sun is an ellipse the earth is not always the same distance from the sun. Distances in the solar system are commonly measured in astronomical units.

The sun has so much mass that it accounts for 9986 of the mass in the solar system. The planets in our solar system. Background information our solar system includes the sun and eight planets that orbit around the sun.

The order of the planets in our solar system. Lets go over them but first heres a quick rundown of each planet in order of size and distance from the sun. Astronomy guide to space.
