# The Solar System

The Solar System (Q544 on Wikidata) is a collective of 8 planets, forming what could be said as a type of neighborhood.

It is made up of:

• The Sun, a star.
• Mercury, the first planet from the Sun and the smallest.
• Venus, Earth's «sister» planet due to the somewhat same size.
• Earth, our only home and where we come from.
• Mars, the «Red Planet» and a desert-like rocky place.
• Jupiter, fifth planet from the Sun and the largest. It is a gas giant.
• Saturn, the second largest in the Solar System known for its rings.
• Uranus, a gaseous cyan-coloured ice giant, with most of it being made up of water.
• Neptune, 17 times the mass of Earth.
