our solar system

The first planet from the sun is Mercury, a rocky planet that is the closest to the sun. It has a thin atmosphere and a heavily cratered surface. Our solar system consists of a star called the Sun, eight planets, dwarf planets, moons, asteroids, comets, and other celestial bodies.

The eight planets in order from the Sun are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
The four inner planets, Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, are also known as the terrestrial planets. They are relatively small and rocky, with solid surfaces.
