Of the true planets in our solar system, Neptune is the farthest from Earth.
A planet must be large enough for its gravity to pull it into a nearly round shape. In our solar system, a planet needs to have cleared its orbit of other debris to be considered a true planet.
In our solar system the outermost planet 'til March 1999 was considered the same as the outermost planet after March 1999 - it was Pluto. In 2006, the IAU reclassified Pluto as a minor or dwarf planet and no longer a true planet - this demotion meaning Neptune would thereafter be considered the outermost planet in our solar system. It is of course possible there is a planet out there not yet discovered, which is in solar orbit, and large enough, in which case its distance might qualify it as 'outermost'.
Planet Pluto is in solar system and Solar system is in the Universe t, hence Pluto is also in our universe.However Pluto was not part of original Solar sytem but was a comet which was captured in a planetary orbit.
1.the earth revolves around the sun - correct. 2.the earth is the third planet from the sun - correct.3.the earth is the smallest planet in the solar system - incorrect, it's Mercury.
Pluto!
"Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System"
as far as i know, it is the hottest planet in the solar system
the larger the planet is the slower it revolves
Of the true planets in our solar system, Neptune is the farthest from Earth.
the planet you are looking for is Pluto it is about the same size as its moon and now scietist no longer call it a planet
8 It's arbitrary, by the definition of "planet".
possibly it may it may not the solar system is a complexmind that cant be controlled we can only guess

Mars is not the smallest planet because Pluto is. Though, scientists now say that Pluto is no longer a true planet. That makes Mercury the smallest planet in our Solar System.

mercury Answer The third planet, in distance from the Sun, is Earth. The distance is 149.6 million kilometres on average. Mercury and Venus are closer. The third largest planet in the Sun's solar system Uranus (Jupiter and Saturn are larger). The third smallest planet in this solar system is (regarding Pluto as a dwarf planet, not a true planet) Venus (Mercury and Mars are smaller).
