What is the largest planet in the solar system?

The largest planet in the solar system is Jupiter with a radius of 43,440.7 miles (699 1 1 km), which is 1 1 times that of the earth. The eight planets in the solar system are arranged in descending order: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Earth, Venus, Mars and Mercury.

Brief introduction of the eight planets in the solar system;

1, mercury Closest to the sun, it is the planet with the smallest mass and volume in the solar system. Mercury is often hidden in the sun's light and often appears at the same time as the sun. In ancient China, it was called the "Star of the Stars". Because it is closest to the sun and the atmosphere is very thin, the temperature difference on Mercury is the largest in the whole solar system.

2.venus. Besides the sun and moon, Venus is the brightest star. In ancient China, Venus had many names. For example, Taibai Star or Taibai Venus; It is sometimes the morning star, and dawn appears in the eastern sky, so it is called the "morning star". Sometimes it is a dim star, and the western sky appears after dusk, which is called "Chang Geng Star". Venus is strange in the solar system, because it is the only planet that rotates in the opposite direction, and its rotation period is almost the same as that of period of revolution. Because Venus' atmosphere, which is thousands of meters thick, is mainly composed of carbon dioxide, the greenhouse effect of Venus is particularly obvious, with a surface temperature of more than 400 degrees, making it the hottest planet in the solar system.

3. the earth. Our home is also the only living planet in the solar system. Because of scattering, the earth appears blue and is called "blue planet"

4. Mars. The size and mass of Mars are similar to that of the Earth, but there is no ocean on the surface of Mars, but there is a lot of iron oxide, which is reddish brown, so the whole Mars is also orange, so Mars is called "red planet".

5. Jupiter. The largest one in planets of the solar system, its mass is more than 300 times that of the earth, and its volume is more than 1300 times that of the earth. Known as the "King of Planets". Jupiter is the planet with the most natural satellites in the solar system, with as many as 66 satellites.

6. Saturn In ancient China, it was called "Town Star" or "Filling Star". Saturn rotates very fast, second only to Jupiter. Because of its rapid rotation, its shape is flattened, which makes it the flattest in planets of the solar system.

7.uranus. Uranus also has its own characteristics. Most planets always revolve around an axis almost perpendicular to the ecliptic plane, but Uranus' axis is almost parallel to the ecliptic plane, so Uranus' south pole is almost directly exposed to the sun, so Uranus is the only planet lying and rotating in the solar system.

8. Neptune The biggest feature of Neptune is that the storm on Neptune is the fastest in the solar system, with 2000 thousand per hour.
