The first four planets closest to the sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars) are all rocky planets which are relatively small. When compared to our other plants they are almost the same size.

The four outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune) are all gas giants with various sizes and shapes of rings of ice and rock surrounding them, with Saturn having the most obvious ones.

The last in line is Pluto, which is under heated debate and may not be a planet, and not native to our solar system.Pluto is not a planet, it is a dwarf planet made of rock and ice.
