Planets in the Solar System

Mercury

Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, but it’s still way farther away than you can imagine. A whole 63.299 million km away!

Venus

At a massive 108.77 million km away from the sun it is still the second closest, and also the hottest planet in the solar system.

Earth

Earth! Our home in this solar system, and so far the only planet capable of having life. The third planet away from the sun, just close enough so we don’t freeze, and far enough so we don’t burn. A perfect 149.58 million km from the sun.

Mars

227.07 million km is such a long way away from the sun; it makes sense the ice on it hasn’t melted it yet.
