Neptune ,is the eighth and last planet from the Sun in the Solar System.
View moreNeptune also has the strongest winds of any planet in the solar system, measured as high as 2,100 km/h or 1,300 mph.
View moreOur solar system is made up of a star, eight planets and countless smaller bodies such as dwarf planets, asteroids and comets.
View moreOur solar system orbits the center of the Milky Way Galaxy at about 515,000 mph (828,000 kph).
View moreIt takes our solar system about 230 million years to complete one orbit around the galactic center.
View moreBeyond the orbit of Neptune (the furthermost planet), it takes a long time to leave the Solar System.
View moreOur solar system is a region of space.
View moreThe planets of our solar system hold more than 150 moons in their orbits.
View moreOur solar system is the only one known to support life.
View moreNASA's Voyager 1 is the only spacecraft so far to leave our solar system.
View moreMercury is the smallest and innermost planet in the Solar System.
View moreIts orbital period around the Sun of 87.97 days is the shortest of all the planets in the Solar System.
View moreCompared to what is known about the other planets in the Solar System, little is known about Mercury.
View moreMercury is the most cratered planet in the Solar System.
View moreMars is the fourth planet from the Sun and the second smallest planet in the Solar System after Mercury.
View moreMars is home to the tallest mountain in the solar system.
View moreMars has the largest dust storms in the solar system.
View moreThe seasons are extreme because its elliptical (oval-shaped) orbital path around the Sun is more elongated than most other planets in the solar system.
View moreJupiter is the largest and biggest planet in the Solar System with a diameter of 142,984 km.
View moreJupiter is twice as massive as all the other planets in the Solar System put together.
View moreJupiter moving out of the inner Solar System would have allowed the formation of inner planets, including Earth.
View moreSaturn is the sixth planet from the Sun in the Solar System.
View moreIt is the second largest planet in the Solar System, after Jupiter.
View moreTitan is the second largest moon in the Solar System.
View moreSaturn is the only planet in the Solar System that is less dense than water.
View moreIt is a terrestrial planet because it has a solid, rocky surface like other planets in the inner solar system.
View moreThis makes the surface of Venus the hottest of any planet's surface in the Solar System with an estimated average temperature of 480 °C (896.0 °F).
View moreThey aren't tidal waves but are actually caused from the forces of the moon and the sun and other planets in our solar system which affects tides.
View moreTidal waves are not only caused by the solar system, but they can also be caused by wind as it makes its way across the water.
