  1. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun and the eighth largest. Mercury is smaller in diameter than Ganymede and Titan but more massive.
  2. Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest. Venus' orbit is the most nearly circular of that of any planet, with an eccentricity of less than 1%.
  3. Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest.
  4. Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the seventh largest.
  5. Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and by far the largest. Jupiter is more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined (318 times Earth).
  6. Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second largest.
  7. Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun and the third largest (by diameter).
  8. Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and the fourth largest (by diameter). Neptune is smaller in diameter but larger in mass than Uranus.

The first eight planets in the solar system, counting from the sun are the following:

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars. These are called the "Inner planets".

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptunus. These are called the "Outer planets".

The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter forms the boundary between the inner solar system and the outer solar system.

These 8 planets are the only planets known in our solar system.

There are thought to be no more than the current eight planets in our solar system, but astronomers continue to discover smaller dwarf planets on the edge of the solar system.
