The image shows the order of the planets orbiting the Sun within our Solar System.
The Sun, the central star of the System, is of gigantic dimensions, compared to the planets, being rendered by a very large circle, on the left side, filled with the texture of blank dots.
The sun is a star that spreads energy around it in the form of numerous and different types of radiations, which reach the Earth, then are perceived by the human body as light and heat. The sun is made up of masses of gas, three quarters of hydrogen, followed by helium, and small amounts of other heavier elements such as neon, iron, carbon and oxygen. The sun emits this energy, meaning it is active, as long as it permanently fuses hydrogen into helium, thus turning matter into energy. Around it is an orbiting disk, that is an invisible circle or path, on which the planets gravitate, forming the Solar System.
The planets, highlighted by small circles, of different sizes, situated on the right side of the Sun, from left to right, are: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter – the largest planet rendered with the texture of oblique and parallel lines, followed by Saturn marked with a dotted texture and cut diagonally by a bold line, representing the rings of ice particles and dust that surrounds it, then continues with Uranus, rendered by grid texture and ends with Neptune, rendered by wavy line texture.
The planets surround or revolves around the Sun for fixed periods of time, depending on how close or far they are to the Sun. So it takes the Earth a year or three-hundred sixty-five days to finish the entire orbit or make a revolution around the Sun, while the planets farther from the Sun will take much longer, their orbital path being longer, so more distance, longer journey. But the planet Mercury, which is closest to the Sun, will orbit the Sun in just eighty-eight Earth days.
