Navigate Planets
Loading your journey through space...
Journey through our cosmic neighborhood and discover the wonders of the eight planets, dwarf planets, and countless other celestial bodies orbiting our Sun.
The smallest and innermost planet in our Solar System, Mercury has no atmosphere to retain heat, causing extreme temperature variations.
Often called Earth's "sister planet," Venus has a thick atmosphere that traps heat, making it the hottest planet in our Solar System.
Our home planet is the only known world with active life, featuring diverse ecosystems supported by liquid water and an oxygen-rich atmosphere.
Known as the "Red Planet," Mars features the largest volcano and canyon in the Solar System and is a prime target for future human exploration.
The largest planet in our Solar System, Jupiter is a gas giant with a mass more than twice that of all other planets combined.
Famous for its spectacular ring system, Saturn is a gas giant composed primarily of hydrogen and helium with a density less than water.
The Sun accounts for 99.86% of the mass in our solar system. About 1.3 million Earths could fit inside the Sun.
The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter contains millions of asteroids but its total mass is only about 4% of Earth's Moon.
Neptune has the strongest winds in the Solar System, reaching speeds of 2,100 km/h (1,300 mph), nearly five times hurricane-force winds on Earth.
Venus rotates on its axis in the opposite direction to most planets. This means the Sun rises in the west and sets in the east on Venus.
Saturn has such low density that it would float in water if there were an ocean large enough to hold it.
Jupiter's Great Red Spot is a storm that has been raging for at least 400 years and is large enough to fit three Earths inside it.
