Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system, named after the Roman mythological king of the gods. The gas colossus Jupiter is a stormy enigma, wrapped in colourful clouds whipped by powerful winds that sweep beneath rings and moons. Jupiter is massive: it has more than twice the mass of all the other planets in the solar system combined. The Great Red Spot, its largest and most famous storm, is twice the width of the Earth. Jupiter's four large moons, Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto, helped to revolutionise the way we saw the universe — and our place in it — in 1610, when Galileo discovered them. These were the first observations of celestial bodies circling an object other than Earth, and they supported the Copernican theory that Earth was not the centre of the universe.

Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the sixth largest and most massive planet in the solar system. Venus is the closest large body to Earth other than the Moon; at its closest, it is the closest large body to Earth.

It is the most brilliant planet in the sky when visible. The planet Venus is represented by the symbol ♀.

The Earth is the third planet from the Sun and the only known astronomical object to support life. While there is a lot of water all over the Solar System, only Earth has liquid surface water. The ocean covers roughly 71% of the Earth's surface, dwarfing polar ice, lakes, and rivers. The remaining 29% of the Earth's surface is land, which consists of continents and islands. The surface layer of the Earth is made up of several slowly moving tectonic...

The way people think about the universe, how it works, and how big it is has evolved over time. Humans had little or no understanding of the universe for countless lifetimes. Instead, our forefathers relied on legend to explain the origins of everything. The myths reflect human concerns, hopes, aspirations, or fears, rather than the nature of reality, because they were created by our forefathers. Humans began to apply mathematics, writing, and new investigative principles to the search for knowledge several centuries ago. Those principles, as well as scientific tools, were refined over time, eventually revealing clues about the nature of the universe.

Space is also teeming with various types of radiation that are hazardous to astronauts. The Sun is responsible for a large portion of this infrared and ultraviolet radiation. High energy X-rays, gamma rays, and cosmic rays – particles travelling at near-light speed – arrive from distant star systems.
