Artwork of the solar system. All the main components and features of the solar system are here visible. Moving outwards from the Sun are the planets Mercury,Venus,Earth,Mars,Jupiter,Saturn,Uranus,Neptune and Pluto (Dwarf planet). Planetary rings,once believed to be a feature only of Saturn,characterise also Jupiter,Uranus and Neptune. The Asteroid Belt is situated between Mars and Jupiter. This is a rich collection of several thousand smaller bodies,the biggest Ceres is 1000km in diameter,and they probably represent material which never condensed into a planet.
