=== The Planets of the Solar System === There are eight major planets in our Solar System. They revolve around the Sun in fixed orbits, and each planet has unique characteristics. Based on their distance from the Sun, the planets are arranged in the following order: '''Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Mercury''' is the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest one in the Solar System. Because it has almost no atmosphere, its daytime and nighttime temperatures are extremely different. '''Venus''' is the second planet and the hottest one. Its thick carbon dioxide atmosphere traps heat, creating a strong greenhouse effect. It is often called Earth’s “sister planet” because of its similar size. '''Earth''' is the third planet and the only known planet that supports life. Its atmosphere, temperature, and water make it a perfect place for living organisms. '''Mars''', the fourth planet, is known as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish surface. Scientists believe it may have had water in the past and could support human life in the future. '''Jupiter''' is the fifth and largest planet, made mostly of gas. It has strong storms and a famous red spot. '''Saturn''', the sixth planet, is easily recognized by its beautiful rings made of ice and rock particles. '''Uranus''' is the seventh planet, an icy giant that spins on its side. '''Neptune''', the eighth and farthest planet, is extremely cold and windy. Together, these eight planets make our Solar System a fascinating and diverse family of worlds.
