Sun and its planets. Illustration of the Sun and the eight planets (across bottom) that form part of the solar system. Most of the mass of the solar system is found in the Sun, with the size of the Sun and planets shown to scale here. The eight planets are shown in order of their distance from the Sun (from left to right): Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The smaller four planets are rocky planets of the inner solar system. The larger four planets are gas giant planets of the outer solar system.
