Size: The Sun accounts for about 99.86% of the total mass of our solar system. It's around 109 times the diameter of Earth!

Core Temperature: The temperature at the core of the Sun is around 15 million°C (27 million°F), where nuclear fusion occurs.

Distance from Earth: The Sun is approximately 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away from Earth, a distance known as 1 Astronomical Unit (AU).

Sun's Age: The Sun is about 4.6 billion years old and is considered a "middle-aged" star. It’s expected to burn for another 5 billion years before evolving into a red giant.

Mercury has extreme temperature fluctuations: Because it has almost no atmosphere to retain heat, temperatures on Mercury can vary dramatically. During the day, the temperature can soar to 800°F (427°C), while at night, it can plummet to a frigid -330°F (-201°C). This extreme variation happens because the planet has a very slow rotation and no protective atmosphere.

A year on Mercury is only 88 Earth days: Mercury is the fastest planet in the solar system, orbiting the Sun in just 88 Earth days. This means a year on Mercury is less than three months long!

A day on Mercury is longer than its year: Mercury's rotation is very slow. It takes 59 Earth days to complete one full rotation on its axis. So, while it takes just 88 Earth days to orbit the Sun, it takes almost 60 Earth days for one full day-night cycle on the planet!

Venus is the hottest planet: Despite being second from the Sun, Venus has the highest surface temperature in the solar system, reaching up to 900°F (475°C), which is hotter than Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun. This is due to its thick atmosphere of carbon dioxide, which traps heat in a runaway greenhouse effect.

A day on Venus is longer than a year: Venus has an extremely slow rotation. It takes about 243 Earth days for Venus to complete one full rotation on its axis, but only 225 Earth days to orbit the Sun. This means a day on Venus (from one sunrise to the next) is longer than its year!

Venus is Earth's "sister planet": Venus and Earth are often called "sister planets" because they are similar in size, mass, and composition. However, Venus has a much more extreme environment, with crushing atmospheric pressure, sulfuric acid clouds, and intense heat.

Size: Earth is the fifth biggest planet in our solar system and the third planet from the sun

Earth is the only planet known in our solar system able to sustain life. With it's surface being 70% covered by water makes it ideal for swimming. The earth is estimated to be at of value of $5 quadrillion, or 55.5555556 trillion World of Warcraft mounts

Age: Our planet's age is somewhere between Emil's and Kai's. So anywhere from 35+ to 2 billion years old.

• Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun.
• The surface of Mars is orange-red because it is covered in iron(III) oxide dust, giving it the nickname "the Red Planet".
• Mars is among the brightest objects in Earth's sky, and its high-contrast albedo features have made it a common subject for telescope viewing.

Mars was formed approximately 4.5 billion years ago. During the Noachian period (4.5 to 3.5 billion years ago), Mars's surface was marked by meteor impacts, valley formation, erosion, and the possible presence of water oceans. The Hesperian period (3.5 to 3.3–2.9 billion years ago) was dominated by widespread volcanic activity and flooding that carved immense outflow channels. The Amazonian period, which continues to the present, has been marked by the wind as a dominant influence on geological processes. Due to Mars's geological history, the possibility of past or present life on Mars remains of great scientific interest.

Size: This gas giant has a diameter 11 times wider than Earth with a radius of 69 911 kilometers.

Jupiter's red spot is a continous turbulent storm, having first been observed back in 1878. Jupiter has the shortest day compared to all planets in our solar system with only 10 hours for it to rotate once. Otherwise it will take the planet 12 Earth-years to make a complete orbit around the sun

Distance from sun: The fifth planet from the sun, with a total distance of 778.5 million km.

Age:jupiter is about 4.6 billion years old

Size: Saturn is known as the second largest planet in our solar system and it's placed as number six from the sun. It is 9 times wider than Earth which equals to a diamter of 125 500 kilometer

Rings: Saturn's rings are made of billions of chuncks of ice and rocks coated with dust and other materials. The rings are thought to be asteroids that broke up before they reached the planet due to Saturn's powerful gravity.

Distance from sun: Saturn is about 1427 million kilometers far from the sun. That's almost ten times more compared to the distance between earth and the sun.

Age: Saturn is about 4.5 billion years old. It is known as a gas giant because it cosists mostly of hydrogen and helium - the two main components that makes up the sun

Size: Uranus is 4 times wider than Earth which approximately equals to be 51 118 kilometers.

Ice giant: Uranus beside Neptun is one of the two ice giants in the outer solar system. Around 80 percent of the planet's mass is made up by icy materials, water, ammonia and methane.

Distance to sun: The distance between Uranus and the Sun is about 19 Astronomical units (AU), while one AU is the distance from the sun to the Earth. In this case it takes the sunlight 2 hours and 40 minutes to travel from the sun to Uranus.

Age: The age of Uranus is about 4.5 billion years old. This planet is also considered as a gas planet like Saturn

Size: Neptune has a diameter of approximately 49 528 kilometers and is about four times wider than the Earth.

Rotation: Neptun takes 16 hours to spin once, but at the same time it takes 165 Earth-years for Neptun to make a complete orbit around the sun.

Distance to sun: With 30 Astronomical units considered, Neptune is 4.5 billion kilometers away from the sun. That makes the distance more than 30 times as far from the sun as earth.

Age: Like the most planets, Neptune is about 4.5 billion years old when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become an icy giant

• Pluto is a dwarf planet in the Kuiper belt
• At Plutos equator, temperatures can drop to −240 °C (−400.0 °F; 33.1 K), causing nitrogen to freeze as water would freeze on Earth.
• Pluto lies 7.5 billion kilometres from Earth. At their nearest, the two are just 2.66 billion miles (4.28 billion km) separated.

Pluto was discovered in 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh, making it by far the first known object in the Kuiper belt. It was immediately hailed as the ninth planet, but it never fit well with the other eight, and its planetary status was questioned when it was found to be much smaller than expected. These doubts increased following the discovery of additional objects in the Kuiper belt starting in the 1990s, and particularly the more massive scattered disk object Eris in 2005. In 2006, the International Astronomical Union (IAU) formally redefined the term planet to exclude dwarf planets such as Pluto. Many planetary astronomers, however, continue to consider Pluto and other dwarf planets to be planets.
