Sun and its planets
Sun and its planets. Artwork of the eight planets of the solar system arrayed from left to right in their order from the Sun (far left). The size of the Sun and planets is to scale. The four small, rocky planets of the inner solar system are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. The four large, gas giant planets of the outer solar system are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. In August 2006, Pluto (not shown) became a Dwarf planet. Planetary rings and moons, a solar flare and the asteroid belt (between Mars and Jupiter), are also shown. The Sun contains 99.9% of the mass of the solar system

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing beauty and vastness of our solar system. In this stunning artwork, we witness the Sun and its planets lined up in perfect order, each meticulously sized to scale. From left to right, we encounter the four small rocky planets of the inner solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. These terrestrial worlds are followed by the four magnificent gas giants of the outer solar system: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. As we delve deeper into this cosmic masterpiece, other celestial wonders come into view. The intricate planetary rings encircling some of these majestic giants add a touch of ethereal elegance to their grandeur. Moons dance gracefully around their parent planets while an awe-inspiring solar flare erupts from the surface of our life-giving star. Amidst this celestial ballet lies a reminder that not all is as it seems. The asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter serves as a testament to the dynamic nature of our universe. And although Pluto has been reclassified as a Dwarf planet since August 2006 (not depicted here), its absence does not diminish our fascination with this extraordinary ensemble. Through this remarkable illustration created by Science Photo Library's talented artists, we are reminded once again that within our vast cosmos lies an intricate tapestry waiting to be explored—a testament to both human curiosity and nature's boundless creativity.
