THE SUN The sun is the star at the center of the Solar System and is far the most important source of energy for life on earth. The distance from the sun to Earth is 149.6 million km. Surface temperature of the sun is 5,505 degrees celsius, and it is 4.6 billion years old.

Venus Mercury Mercury is the smallest planet in the Solar System and the one closest to the sun, with an orbital period of about 88 earth days, which is much faster than any other planet in the solar system. The distance from sun is 57.91 million km Venus is the second planet from the Sun orbiting rotation period of any planet in the Solar System, and unusually rotates in the opposite direction to most other planets. It has no natural satellite. The distance from the sun is 108.2 million km.
