Venus
Venus is the second planet from the Sun, orbiting it every 224.7 Earth days. It has the longest rotation period of any planet in the Solar System and rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets.
Earth
Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only astronomical object known to harbor life. According to radiometric dating and other sources of evidence, Earth formed over 4.5 billion years ago.
Mars
Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun and is the second smallest planet in the solar system. Named after the Roman god of war, Mars is also often described as the “Red Planet” due to its reddish appearance.

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a giant planet with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined
Saturn
Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an average radius about nine times that of Earth

The planets are held in place by the Sun's gravity. Because the Sun is by far the largest object in the solar system, it extends its gravitational force far out into the solar system. Anything that comes inside our solar system will be sent into orbit around our Sun.
The wonders of our universe: space traveller. Explore our place in the universe from a spaceship. See where planet Earth and the solar system fit within a spiral galaxy containing millions of stars. ... Examine snapshots such as the Orion Arm of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Gravity is a very important force. Every object on the earth exerts a gravitational pull on every other, and so gravity influences the paths taken by everything traveling through space. It is the glue that holds together entire galaxies. It keeps planets in orbit.
