Solar System Overview

An overview diagram of the solar system. The sun is placed on the left and every planet rotating around it is placed on the right along its own orbit. Some planets, such as Jupiter or Saturn, have in turn moons drawn around them.

The color of the planets indicates the type of celestial body such as terrestrial, gas giant, ice giant, asteroid, plutoid and satellite.

Except the sun, planet dimensions have been computed using the same scale (i.e., power scale with a 0.4 exponent). Also the planet distance from the sun and the moon distance from their primary planet have been calculated using the same scale (i.e., power scale with a 0.33 exponent).
