It would take more than 1,000 Earths to fill up the volume of the giant planet. When viewed from Earth, Jupiter appears brighter than most stars. It is usually the second brightest planet—after Venus. SATURNS SATURN URANUS one of the larger planets in the solar system and the seventh in distance from the sun.

The smallest planet in the solar system, after Pluto, and the one nearest to the sun. Its orbit about the sun takes 88 days to complete, at a mean distance of almost 36,000,000 miles. Mercury goes around the sun about four times while the earth is going around once. [< Latin Mercurius]World Book VENUS Venus is the sixth largest planet in the solar system and the second in distance from the sun. Venus is the brightest planet in the solar system and the one that comes closest to the earth.

Yes, Pluto is a planet. The body that decides the classification of objects in the solar system, the International Astronomical Union (IAU), has no plans to change Pluto's status as a planet and has decided against assigning it a minor planet number.
