MERCURY

The planet closest to the sun.

The atmosphere of venus has four distinct cloud layers. These contain small aerosol particles, possibly droplets of sulfuric acid. A concentration of sulfur dioxide above the clouds has been observed to decrease since 1978. Atmosperic pressure at ground level is about 95 times that of Earth,

VENUS
The fifth largest planet of the solar system, and the third planet from the sun.

The atmosphere of Venus has four distinct cloud layers. These contain small aerosol particles, possibly droplets of sulfuric acid. A concentration of sulfur dioxide above the clouds has been observed to decrease since 1978. Atmosperic pressure at ground level is about 95 times that of Earth,

EARTH
The fifth largest planet, and third from the sun

Earth's atmosphere also contains water vapor which displaces other gases and varies from 0% to 4% by volume. The weight of the atmosphere is equivalent to a layer of water 34 feet (10.37 meter) deep.
The Earth revolves around it's axis once every 24 hours, which means that a person standing on the equator would be moving at a speed of 1660 km/hr, or approximately 1.4 times the speed of sound (Mach 1.4).

MARS
The fourth planet from the sun.

The atmosphere of Venus has four distinct cloud layers. These contain small aerosol particles, possibly droplets of sulfuric acid. A concentration of sulfur dioxide above the clouds has been observed to decrease since 1978. Atmosperic pressure at ground level is about 95 times that of Earth,

JUPITER
The red banded gas giant that almost became a sun

The remaining eight moons range from 15-120 miles (25-190 km) in diameter. Their names are : Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Janus, Telesto, Calypso, and Helene.

URANUS
The seventh planet from the sun

The remaining eight moons range from 15-120 miles (25-190 km) in diameter. Their names are : Atlas, Prometheus, Pandora, Epimetheus, Janus, Telesto, Calypso, and Helene.

NEPTUNE
The eight planet from the sun

PLUTO
The furthest planet from the sun

Pluto is the furthest planet from the sun. It's existence was predicted by Percival Lowell, and based on these predictions it was discovered by Clyde Tombaugh in 1930. Pluto is so far out, that the Hubell space telescope cannot reveal any surface features.
