There are more planets than stars in our galaxy. The current count orbiting our star: eight. The inner, rocky planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. NASA's newest rover — Perseverance — landed on Mars on Feb. 18, 2021. The outer planets are gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Beyond Neptune, a newer class of smaller worlds called dwarf planets reign, including longtime favorite Pluto. Thousands more planets have been discovered beyond our solar system. Scientists call them exoplanets (exo means "from outside").

Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest in the Solar System. It is a gas giant with a mass one-thousandth that of the Sun, but two-and-a-half times that of all the other planets in the Solar System combined. ... Surrounding Jupiter is a faint planetary ring system and a powerful magnetosphere Jupiter's Magnetic Field Is 14 Times Stronger Than Earth's

From space, Earth looks like a blue marble with white swirls. Some parts are brown, yellow, green and white. The blue part is water, which covers most of Earth1. Earth is located in the universe in the Virgo Supercluster of galaxies. Within this supercluster, we are in a smaller group of galaxies called the Local Group. Earth is in the second largest galaxy of the Local Group - a galaxy called the Milky Way2
