The Great Red Spot is the most famous storm on Jupiter . It is the largest planet . Jupiter’s Moon . Galilean Moons of Jupiter. Jupiter formed an accretion disk. The disk would have formed directly above the equator of Jupiter.. As material accumulated in the disk, it was possible to form moons in the debris found in the disk.. By . Ben . Mercury. The distances of planets from each other and from the Sun are often measured in Astronomical Units, AU.  One AU is the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, 93 million miles.  Using this system of measurement, Mercury is 0.39 AU from the Sun.. Size. Appearance. Having moons. Having rings. Period of rotation (how long a day is). How Can We classify Planets?. Look at your chart of information.. Approximate Diameter= How Big or small it is.. Period of Rotation = How long fast the planet spins on its axis. .  . Recognize that the . Sun and stars emit the light by which they are seen and that most other bodies in space, including Earth’s Moon, planets and their moons, comets and asteroids are seen by reflected light..

Take an astonishing visual journey through time and space with Solar System, a mesmerizing way to experience the magnitude of the universe through fascinating text, original graphics, and stunning photographs, some rarely- or never-before-seen. Never before have the wonders of our solar system been so immediately accessible to readers of all ages. Award-winning writer and broadcaster Marcus Chown combines science and history to visually and narratively explore our neighboring planets, dwarf planets, moons and asteroids, as well as all of the historical figures who aided in their discoveries. From the explosive surface of the sun to the frosty blue dunes on Mars from the gargantuan rings of Saturn to the volcanoes of Io from geological maps of bedrock on the Moon, to a simulation of what the Oort Cloud might look like, Solar System offers a window seat from which to view the beauty and magnificence of space. The four planets closest to the sun are known as the inner planets. Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. Mercury. This picture of Mercury was made by joining many smaller photos taken by . Mariner 10. . No photos were taken of the area that looks smooth. . SOLAR SYSTEM: all of the planets, 
moons, comets, and rocks that travel 
around the Sun. GALAXY: giant collection of gas, dust, 
and trillions of stars. Milky Way: our galaxy. Planet Sizes. PLANETS. Mars. Venus. Earth. Jupiter. Mercury. Saturn. Uranus. Neptune. Our Home Planet. Earth, our home planet, is the third planet from the Sun and the fifth largest planet in the Solar System. Earth is 150 million kilometres from the Sun..
