How are the planets arranged in the solar system?

Answer 1

The planets are arranged in this order, from the Sun:

Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune.
At the centre of our Solar system, resides the Sun.

So, at the centre of The Solar System resides:

The Sun! - The Sun, also known as 'Sol' is at the centre of the Solar System. The Solar System we are in is called (literally): The Solar System

Then:

1. Mercury - This is the closest planet to the sun, is egg-shaped and orbits generally around 29,000,000 and 44,000,000 (Twenty Nine and Forty four Million) miles from the sun!

2. Venus - This is the second closest planet to the sun. It is riddled with mountains, lava and Volcanoes - But has a thick atmosphere stopping satellites and observatories from normally seeing its landscape. It orbits at around 67,000,000 million miles depending on the year.

3. Earth! This planet, the very planet we live on (Unless you're an Alien on the internet!) is filled with Organic Life. Some scientists claim that Earth is the only planet in the universe that contains life, yet when you think there are countless Galaxies out there, and our own galaxy contains more than 200,000,000,000 (Two hundred BILLION) stars, you can't help but think, could there be life out there? Earth Orbits at 1AU(Astronomical Unit) from the sun, what is a total of 95.955.807.3 miles!

4. Mars - This planet is often visible to the naked eye. It is riddled with mountains and gigantic canyons formed billions of years ago (The actual plant is 4.6 BILLION years old! Then again, so is the rest of the Solar system.) Pictures from Probes and the Hubble Telescope have shown strange patterns on Mars - that, even after all these years, has scientists believing that water may have once flowed on Mars. (Like the sea on Earth, Mars may have once had water too!) It is around 155.000.000 (One hundred and fifty five) million miles from the sun.

5. Jupiter - This is the largest planet in the solar system. Under the constantly-raging storms, there is a liquid water and hydrogen ocean. This planet is approximately 483.000.000 (Four hundred and eighty three) Million Miles!

6. Saturn - Famous for its gigantic ring, this is the second largest planet in the solar system and is incredibly similar to Jupiter. It orbits at approximately 903.000.000 (Nine hundred and three) Million Miles!

7. Uranus - This planet in most aspects, is similar to the other Gas Giants

in the solar system - However, unlike the other plants in the solar system, Uranus spins on its side! Uranus orbits at approximately 1,708,111,170 (One billion seven hundred and eight million)miles and 1,866,859,850 (One billion eight hundred and sixty six million) miles from the sun!

8. Neptune - This is the smallest Gas Giant in the Solar system. Having only been visited once by the Voyager two, like the other Gas Giants, it is a planet with many storms. It orbits at approximately 2.800.000.000 (Two Billion Eight hundred) miles from the sun!

9. Pluto - This isn't actually a planet - But I figured it's still relevant to the Question! Pluto was known to be a planet before it was re-classified as a Dwarf Planet. Although furthest away from the sun, on occasion, because Pluto is within Neptunes Orbit, the dwarf planet can be closer to the sun than Neptune. It Orbits the sun between 2,756,915,000 (Two billion seven hundred and fifty six) and 4,583,189,130 (Four billion five hundred and eighty three) miles!
With the Sun at the centre, the following is the list of planets as one moves outwards. Figures in brackets are for the average radius of each planet's orbit measured from the Sun.

# Mercury (57,909,100 km) # Venus (108,208,930 km) # Earth (149,597,887.5 km)

# Mars (227 939 100 km) # Jupiter (778,547,200 km)

# Saturn (1,433,449,370 km)

# Uranus (2,876,679,082 km # Neptune (4,503,443,661 km) To help get a grasp on the distances it can help if we set Mercury's orbit as a standard and measure the others against it. In that way, Mercury has an orbit of 1 unit, and the others are as follows:

* Venus 1.9 units * Earth 2.6 units * Mars 3.9 units * Jupiter 13.4 units * Saturn 24.8 units * Uranus 49.7 units * Neptune 77.8 units

Pluto, the recently demoted 'dwarf planet' is at a distance of 5,906,376,272 km - or 102 units.

As can be seen there is an almost arithmetic progression in those units and the noticeable gap between Mars and Jupiter is where we find the asteroid belt - a wide area containing a vast amount of irregularly-shaped 'space debris' - dwarf planets, asteroids and rocks and dust.

Answer 2

Our Solar System is made up of the Sun and the objects that orbit around it. The planets arranged around the Sun, in order from closest to farthest away, are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Answer 3

The planets in the solar system are moving so it is hard to answer that question directly because their positions are changing. What doesn't change is the order of the planets from the Sun. These are from the Sun outwards: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

(I bet you knew that already)

Answer 5

The Solar System is a group of planets around our star (the Sun) in the Milky Way Galaxy. After the Sun, the order of planets (closest to furthest) are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Pluto was downgraded to a dwarf planet in 2006 and all of the planets in the Solar System orbit the Sun in their own time.

Answer 6

Well They Were Not Exacly Arranged Like That But Pluto Belly Bounced Up Venus Even Though It Was A Midget!

Answer 7

the position of each planet around the sun is an elliptical orbit. The exact position with respect to the sun changes as the planet moves on this orbit.
