Mercury – The planet with the second highest temperature in the Solar System and the closest planet to the Sun.
Venus – The warmest planet.
Earth – The only planet in the solar system that is known to have life. It has one natural satellite, the Moon.
Mars – Sometimes called the "red planet" and "the brother of Earth". Mars is the closest planet to the Earth.

Ceres is the largest object in the Solar System's main asteroid belt.
Haumea is shaped like an egg.
Makemake crosses paths with Eris.
Eris follows the most elliptical path of any planet or dwarf planet.
Pluto considered a planet until August 24, 2006, when the International Astronomical Union (IAU) defined conditions for planets that Pluto did not meet.

Some scientists think that there was once a planet called Theia which crashed into the Earth at one point, creating the Moon.
