Sun and its planets. Illustration of the Sun and the eight planets that form part of the solar system. The separations of the planets are not shown to scale. Most of the mass of the solar system is found in the Sun. The eight planets are shown in order of their size (from left to right): Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury. 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.
