Of the eight planets in our solar system (ignoring Pluto and other dwarf or minor planets), Mars is second smallest... only Mercury is smaller. Mars is about 53% of the diameter of Earth (about 15% of the volume), also about fifteen percent of its mass. Standing on its surface you'd feel a little under 2/5ths of Earth's surface gravity.

How can studying earth help scientists understand other planets?
Studying the earth helps scientists to understand other planets since the earth is part of the solar system. Scientists use the features of the earth to compare them with what other planets hold.
How does Mars compare to other planets?
All the planets in our solar system (including Mars) appear to move very close to the "ecliptic", the line the sun appears to travel in our skies. That is because all the planets in our solar system formed from the same nebular disk and orbit the sun close to the same plane (imagine our solar system inside a pizza box with the sun at the center).
How does the mass of Jupiter compare to those other planets?

What is a planet 4.6 billion years old?
That's the age of our Solar System, so you can expect all the planets in our Solar System to have approximately that age.
Is there life in our solar system?
Yes, the planet Earth is part of the solar system, so all the life on Earth is in the solar system. Yes, our Earth is part of the Solar System. As to life on other planets - both within our Solar System and in other solar systems (planets around other stars), nothing has been proven yet, one way or the other. Specifically, no life has been found on other planets. It would seem probable, though, that what happened on Earth can happen again - perhaps on nearly any planet, perhaps only occasionally.
What are the planets out of your solar system?
Planets that are not part of our solar system and in other solace systems are called exo-solar planets or exoplanets.
Why are other planets there in the solar system?
Other planets other than earth is put in the solar system for humans to explore and do researches on them.
Are there some planets that are not in the solar system?

How does Puto differ from the outer planets of the solar system?
Pluto is a lot smaller than other planets in out solar system. This was not noticeable in earlier years because there wasn't the technology to very accurately compare it to other planets. Because of it's small size Pluto was determined a dwarf.
The planet that contains more than half the mass of the solar system not in the sun?

Can astronauts travel to distant planets in the solar system?
They could, but as of now, no astronauts have travelled to any other planets in the solar system.
Atom and solar system equal?
The atom and the solar system are not equal. The solar system contains the sun and the other planets.
Were any other planets formed in the solar system other than the present eight planets?
Actually, there are 18 known planets in our solar system, as well as two known protoplanets. For a complete list of objects in the solar system, see the related links.
What is the difference between exoplanets and other planets?
Extra solar (or Exo) planets are planets that do not orbit the Sun. Planets in our solar system orbit the Sun.
What is the purpose of all the other planets in your solar system?
Planets have no purpose. They just "are".
