Order of the Planets from the Sun
–
There are eight planets in the Solar System always revolves around the sun. Dictation from a book Geography: Exploring the Earth and the Universe work Hartono (2007), the planets orbiting the Sun in order from closest to farthest are:
—
Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun with an average distance of 57.8 million KM. To go around the Sun, Mercury takes about 88 days.
—
Due to its very close proximity to the Sun, the temperature of this planet during the day is very hot, up to 400 degrees C. The hot temperatures and weak gravity make the air on the surface evaporate and result in the thinning of the atmosphere layer on the planet Mercury.
—
Venus is the second closest planet to the sun with an average distance of 108.9 million km. It takes 225 days for the planet Venus to orbit the sun.
—
The atmosphere of the planet Venus is covered with very thick carbon dioxide and sulfate gases. As a result, the temperature on the planet Venus during the day reaches 477 degrees C. So this planet has been nicknamed the hottest planet in the solar system.
—
The planet we live in occupies the position when it is in the order of the closest planets to the Sun with an average distance of 149.7 million KM and takes 365 days to orbit the sun.
—
Planet Earth is the only planet that is most suitable for living creatures. This is supported by the composition of the air and the presence of water which is very life-sustaining.
—
–
The planet Mars or better known as the red planet occupies the fourth position in the order of the planets closest to the Sun. The planet Mars has an average distance of 228 million km from the Sun and takes 1.9 years to revolve.
—
The planet known as the largest planet in our solar system has a diameter of about 142,860 km or 10 times the size of Earth.
—
The distance of the planet Jupiter from the Sun is about 778.2 million KM and the time it takes for it to revolve is 12 years.
—
Saturn is the second largest planet with a diameter of 120,200 km. In addition, the planet Saturn is also known as the most beautiful planet with a ring that surrounds it.
—
The average distance of the planet Saturn to the Sun is about 1,430 million KM with a revolution period of about 29.5 years.
—
The planet with a diameter of 49,000 KM has a distance of 2.875 million KM from the Sun and a revolution time of 84 years.
—
Uranus is known as the coldest planer in the solar system. Because the surface temperature on this planet can reach -224 degrees C.
—
The planet with the furthest distance from the Sun is the planet Neptune, with an average distance of about 4,497 million KM and taking 164.8 years to revolve.
—
Well, now you know the 8 planets in the solar system with the closest to farthest distance from the Sun, right? (MZM)
