Compare sizes for the planets and sort them by order from the Sun or by size. Planets' size, mass, and gravity. Number of moons, distance from the Sun and Earth, and composition.
one of the giant planets, the seventh planet from the sun, sometimes visible to the naked eye. It has about 15 satellites, a ring system, and an axis of rotation almost lying in the plane of the orbit. Mean distance from sun: 2870 million km; period of revolution around sun: 84 years...

The strength of the gravitational field due to an object is proportional to the mass of the object and the strength decreases with distance away from the object as 1/r2. Near a large mass, such as Earth or the Sun, the gravitational field is strong, and far out in space the field is...

in infrared light, found no object the size ofSaturnor larger exists out to a distance of 10,000 astronomical units (au), and no object larger thanJupiterexists out to 26,000 au. One astronomical unit equals 93 million miles. Earth is 1 au, and Pluto is about 40 au, from the sun....

distance from the star, which was far enough that the emission was generally cold and so also explained the observations at 70 μm toward the same stars (Su et al.2006). The same issue affected the interpretation of Sun-like stars, since it was found that the emission spectrum for the ...
It is the fourth planet from the Sun, at a distance of 230 million kilometres, and the second-smallest (diameter 6779 km) in the solar system. People often refer to Mars as the Red Planet because the iron oxide on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Mars can be seen from Earth...
