💡 Mind-blowing Solar System Facts

  • If the Sun were the size of a basketball, Earth would be a small marble 26 metres away.
  • Jupiter is so big that all other planets in the Solar System could fit inside it with room to spare.
  • Light takes 8 minutes 20 seconds to travel from the Sun to Earth, but over 4 hours to reach Neptune.
  • Saturn's rings are only about 10–100 metres thick but stretch over 280,000 km wide.
  • A day on Venus is longer than a year on Venus — it rotates extremely slowly.
