The order of planets in the solar system, starting from the one nearest to the Sun and working
outwards, is as follows: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and the
possible Planet Nine.
The inner four planets closest to the Sun — Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars — are often called
'terrestrial planets' because their surfaces are rocky. Pluto also has a rocky, albeit frozen,
surface but has never been grouped with the four terrestrials. The four large outer worlds —
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — are sometimes called the Jovian or 'Jupiter-like' planets
because of their enormous size relative to the terrestrial planets. They are also mostly made of
gases like hydrogen, helium and ammonia rather than of rocky surfaces, although astronomers
believe that some or all of them may have solid cores.
Jupiter and Saturn are sometimes called the 'gas giants', whereas the more distant Uranus and
Neptune have been nicknamed the 'ice giants'. This is because Uranus and Neptune have more
atmospheric water and other ice-forming molecules, such as methane, hydrogen sulphide and
phosphene, which crystallise into clouds in the planets' frigid conditions, according to the
Planetary Society. For perspective, methane crystallises at minus −296 Fahrenheit (−183°
Celsius), according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine. Scientists estimate that the edge
of the solar system is about 9 billion miles (15 billion kilometres) from the Sun. Beyond the
heliopause lies the giant, spherical Oort Cloud, which is thought to surround the solar system.
