Solar system planets
Solar system planets. Artwork showing the Sun (left) and the eight planets of the solar system and their orbits. From left to right they are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. The inner planets are mostly rock and metals, while the outer gas giant planets are mostly hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is the largest planet, and Mercury the smallest. Both Saturn and Uranus have ring systems. The nuclear fusion of hydrogen in the Suns core produces the sunlight and energy that sustains life on Earth. The Milky Way is at top right.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and complexity of our solar system. In this stunning artwork, we are presented with a visual representation of the Sun and its eight planets, each gracefully orbiting in their designated paths. From left to right, we encounter Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The inner planets stand out as rocky spheres composed mainly of metals while the outer gas giants dominate with their vast amounts of hydrogen and helium. Among them all, Jupiter reigns supreme as the largest planet while Mercury claims the title for being the smallest. A remarkable feature is unveiled as both Saturn and Uranus proudly display their magnificent ring systems encircling them like celestial jewelry. It is worth noting that it is through nuclear fusion within the core of our radiant Sun that life on Earth thrives under its nourishing sunlight. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring artwork capturing our solar system's grandeur in all its glory - let us not forget that it is merely an artistic interpretation rather than an accurate scale representation. The Milky Way galaxy can be spotted at top right corner serving as a reminder of our place within this vast cosmic tapestry. This extraordinary illustration serves to ignite curiosity about astronomical wonders while reminding us of humanity's continuous exploration into celestial mechanics and planetary science.
