Earth & Its Neighbors
A short tour of our solar neighborhood

Earth is one stop on a much longer road.

Eight planets circle the same star, each shaped by how close it sits to that fire and what it's made of. This is a live render of the one you're standing on — drag it, watch the day side turn to night.

Earth, by the numbers

The only planet in the neighborhood with liquid water on its surface, a breathable atmosphere, and — as far as we've found — anyone home.

  • Distance from Sun149.6 million km (1 AU)
  • Day length23 hours, 56 minutes
  • Year length365.25 days
  • Moons1 — large enough to stabilize Earth's tilt
  • Surface71% ocean, held liquid by a thick atmosphere and steady sunlight
  • Axial tilt23.4° — the reason we have seasons

The near neighbors

Four rocky worlds share the inner solar system with Earth. Ordered by distance from the sun.

01
Mercury
Closest to the sun

No atmosphere to hold in heat, so it swings from scorching days to freezing nights. It's the smallest planet, barely bigger than Earth's moon.

Venus
Earth's near-twin in size

Similar in size to Earth, but a runaway greenhouse effect makes it the hottest planet in the solar system — hotter even than Mercury, despite being farther from the sun.

Sits in the narrow band around the sun where water stays liquid — often called the habitable zone. A large moon and a magnetic field both help keep conditions stable.

The red planet

Iron oxide dust gives Mars its color. It once had rivers and lakes; today it's a cold desert, but frozen water still sits beneath its poles and soil.
