Solar System Planets
The eight planets of the solar system.
The eight planets of the Solar System with their type, mean distance from the Sun in astronomical units, orbital period in days and number of known moons, extended with two well-known dwarf planets, Ceres and Pluto.
Use it when
- You need basic orbital facts for the planets or a comparison of inner and outer planets.
- You are checking the distance or year length of a planet.
Watch out for
- Distances are mean values; orbits are ellipses, so the real distance varies.
- Moon counts change as discoveries are confirmed; treat them as a snapshot.
