Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system (about 462°C). On Venus, a day lasts longer than a year. It rotates int he opposite direction to most other planets. It has an atmospheric pressure 92 times greater than the earth's. It has dense atmosphere, with about 96.5% carbon dioxide. It rains sulphuric acid on Venus.

Earth is about 4.54 billion years old. Lying in the habitable zone of the sun, it is the only planet known to sustain life. Life on it came into existence 3.8 billion years ago. It's crust is only 35 km deep (0.55%). It has an atmosphere extending up to 10,000 km.

Mars: 4th planet
Distance: 227,900,000 km
Year: 686.971 earth days
Day: 24h 37m 22s

Mars is the last terrestrial rocky planet. It is called the red planet due to it's characteristics brownish-red color because of high iron oxide content. From Mars, the sun looks half the size it looks from earth. It has no magnetic field. It has Olympus Mons, the second tallest mountain in the solar system (21.9 km high, 600 km broad) [Highest: Rheasilvia Central Peak - 22 km (on Vesta)]. It may have been hospitable to life in the past [Evidence of flowing rivers].

Jupiter: 5th planet

Surface Gravity: 2.528 g
Escape Velocity: 59.5 km/s

Jupiter is the largest and most massive planet in the solar system. It is the first gas giant from the sun. It has the highest number of moons: 79. It's moon Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system. It has a magnetic field 14 times stronger than that of the earth's. It is the fastest spinning planet in the solar system. The red spot on Jupiter is an anticyclonic storm existing for about 350 years, and is large enough to swallow 2-3 earths.

Saturn: 6th planet
Distance: 1,429,000,000 km
Year: 29.4571 earth years
Day: 10h 33m
Moons: 62
Mass: 95.159 earths
Radius: 9.449 earths
Volume: 763.59 earths
Surface Area: 83.703 earths
Surface Gravity: 1.065 g
Escape Velocity: 35.5 km/s

Saturn is the second largest gas giant. It has the most extensive ring system. It is the least dense planet in the solar system. It has the second largest moon in the solar system: Titan. There could be life in the Saturn's moon Enceladus. It has an average temperature of -178°C. However it's interior is very hot (reaching up to 11,700°C). Winds can reach speeds up to 1,800 km/hr.

Uranus: 7th planet
Distance: 2,871,000,000 km
Year: 84.0205 earth years
Day: 17h 14m 24s

Radius: 4 earths
Volume: 63.086 earths
Surface Area: 15.91 earths
Surface Gravity: 0.886 g
Escape Velocity: 21.3 km/s

It rotates in a retrograde direction, opposite to the way earth rotates. It has two sets of very thin dark colored rings. It has an effective temperature ranging from -150°C to -216°C. It is the second coldest planet in the solar system. It appears blue due to the presence of water, ammonia and methane ice crystals in upper atmosphere. Wind speeds can reach up to 900 km/hr. It's axis of rotation is tilted by 97.77°.

Neptune: 8th planet
Distance: 4,498,000,000 km

Neptune is smaller than Uranus, but more massive than it. It has a very active climate. Fastest winds in the solar system is on Neptune [2,400 km/hr]. The Great Dark Spot is actually a large rotating storm system. It is the smallest of all gas giants. It is the farthest planet from the sun. It is the coldest planet in the solar system [-218°C]
