3 Venus Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every Earth days. The planet is named after the Roman goddess of love and beauty. Radius: 3,760 miles (6,052 km) Length of day: 116d 18h 0m Surface area: million sq miles (460.2 million km²) Mass: 4.867E24 kg (0.815 Earth mass) Distance from Sun: 67,240,000 miles (108,200,000 km) Orbits: Sun Inner Planet

4 Earth Earth is the third planet from the Sun, and the densest and fifth-largest of the eight planets in the Solar System. It is also the largest of the Solar System's four terrestrial planets. It is sometimes referred to as the world or the Blue Planet. Radius: 3,959 miles (6,371 km) Age: 4.54 billion years Mass: 5.972E24 kg Surface area: million sq miles (510.1 million km²) Population: billion Moon: Moon Inner Planet

5 Mars Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System. Named after the Roman god of war, it is often described as the "Red Planet" because the iron oxide prevalent on its surface gives it a reddish appearance. Gravity: m/s² Radius: 2,106 miles (3,390 km) Mass: 639E21 kg (0.107 Earth mass) Surface area: million sq miles (144.8 million km²) Length of day: 1d 0h 40m Moons: Phobos, Deimos Inner Planet

6 Jupiter Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with mass one-thousandth of that of the Sun but is two and a half times the mass of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. Radius: 43,441 miles (69,911 km) Mass: 1.898E27 kg (317.8 Earth mass) Surface area: billion sq miles (61.42 billion km²) Gravity: m/s² Orbits: Sun Moons: Europa, Io, Ganymede, Callisto, Amalthea, Metis, Elara, Thebe, Ananke, Kale, Leda, Carme, Adrastea, Himalia, Arche, Sinope, Aitne, Carpo, Pasiphae, Iocaste, Lysithea, Helike, Sponde, Kore, Herse, Euporie, Thyone, Themisto, Cyllene, Mneme, Isonoe, Hegemone, Aoede, Kalyke, Callirrhoe, Pasithee, Hermippe, Taygete, Harpalyke, Praxidike, Chaldene, Thelxinoe, Orthosie, Autonoe, Megaclite, Erinome, Eurydome, Eukelade, Euanthe
