Planet earth galaxy solar system.

Just slightly larger than nearby venus earth is the biggest of the four planets closest to the sun all of which are made of rock and metal. Earth is the third planet from the sun with an approximate distance of 149 6 million kilometres 93 0 million miles and is traveling nearly 1 6 million kilometres per hour 1 million miles per hour through outer space.

A galaxy is a huge collection of gas dust and billions of stars and their solar systems all held together by gravity. Our solar system is just one specific planetary system a star with planets orbiting around it. Solar systems orbit around their galaxies just as planets orbit around their suns.

That s just how many we ve found so far. The name earth is at least 1 000 years old. While earth is only the fifth largest planet in the solar system it is the only world in our solar system with liquid water on the surface. It takes the earth s solar system roughly 200 to 250 million years to complete its orbit.

This galaxy is thought to contain more than 200 billion different stars. A diagram of earth s location in the observable universe. Jupiter the largest planet its dark red spot is a storm larger than earth. Our sun is just one star among the hundreds of billions of stars in our milky way galaxy.
