Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system.

The inner planets are closer to the sun than the outer planets.

The outer planets are farther from the sun than the inner planets.

Venus has a thick atmosphere causing extreme temperatures and unique properties.

Earth's surface is 71% water.

Mars has a smaller gravity than Earth and has the largest volcano in the solar system.

Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system.

Saturn is a gas giant famous for its rings, made of ice particles.

The solar system is divided into two groups: inner planets and outer planets. Inner planets are closer to the sun and are rocky/terrestrial (like Earth). Outer planets are further from the sun and are gas giants (like Jupiter).

Inner planets, like Earth, are characterized by a rocky composition, solid surface, and they are typically smaller than outer planets. They also have shorter orbits around the Sun.

Outer planets like Jupiter are large, gaseous planets with a much longer revolution time around the Sun than inner planets. They are also far colder due to their distance from the sun.

Inner planets are mainly composed of rock and have a solid surface, while outer planets are composed primarily of gas and lack a solid surface.

Outer planets are significantly larger than inner planets. For instance, Jupiter is 29 times larger than Mercury.

Inner planets have shorter revolution times, meaning they orbit the sun faster. Outer planets have longer revolution times, taking more time to complete an orbit.

Inner planets are closer to the sun, resulting in higher temperatures. Outer planets are far from the sun, making them much colder.

Inner planets are rocky, smaller, and closer to the sun with shorter orbits. Outer planets are gaseous, larger, and farther from the sun with longer orbits.
