sister planet due the their similar size and mass.

Uranus
is the lightest of the outer planets. Uniquely among the
planets, it orbits the Sun on its side; its axial tilt is over ninety
degrees to the ecliptic. It has a much colder core than the
other giant planets and radiates very little heat into space.

Jupiter
The planet Jupiter is the fifth planet out from the Sun,
and is two and a half times more massive than all the
other planets in the solar system combined. It is made
primarily of gases and is therefore known as a “gas Saturn
giant”. It is composed largely

Discovered in 1930, Pluto is the second closest dwarf
planet to the Sun and was at one point classified as the
ninth planet. Pluto is the largest dwarf planet but only

Sun
(or Sol), is the star at the centre of our solar system and is
responsible for the Earth’s climate and weather. The Sun
is an almost perfect sphere with a difference of just 10km
in diameter between the poles and the equator. The
average radius of the Sun is 695,508 km (109.2 x that of
the Earth) of which 20–25% is the core.
