Inner and outer solar system. Illustration comparing the planets of the outer (left) and inner (right) solar system. The separations of the planets are not shown to scale. Moving outwards from the Sun, the smaller four planets of Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars, form the rocky planets of the inner solar system. Still moving outwards from the Sun, the larger four planets of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, form the gas giant planets of the outer solar system. The asteroid belt (shown at upper left) lies between the inner and outer solar system. The planetary orbits are shown as red ellipses. | |
