Jupiter is the largest planet in our Solar System and the largest of the four Gas Giants. Jupiter is visible to the naked eye and has been known since ancient times.

Jupiter is the 5th planet from the Sun, sitting between Mars and Saturn. Jupiter is so large that if it were hollow over 1300 planets the size of Earth would fit inside.

Mars

http://www.spacemanskip.com/index-3-al-mars.html

Mars has long been the subject of Science Fiction fantasy. As recently as the 1950's, people believed that Mars was inhabited by Martians and that we would visit them one day. With our modern technology we now know that none of this is true. There are 7 functioning spacecraft currently working on Mars, expanding our knowledge of our second closest neighbor by leaps and bounds. Five (5) of the spacecraft are in orbit around Mars and 2 (Curiosity and Opportunity) are on its surface. The distance from the S...

Neptune

http://www.spacemanskip.com/index-3-al-neptune.html

Neptune has the distinction of being the first planet to be discovered by mathematical prediction rather than observation. Alexis Bouvard, a French astronomer, hypothesized its existence because of irregularities in Uranus' orbit. Using Bouvard's predictions, Johann Galle first observed Neptune through a telescope in 1846. Neptune is the 8th and farthest planet from the Sun. Neptune was named for the Roman god of the sea. Neptune is the smallest of the Jovian planets. Neptune is not a terrestrial planet.

The Earth

http://www.spacemanskip.com/index-3-al-the-earth.html

For most of humanity's existence we have gazed at the stars and dreamt of the worlds beyond our own. But we now live in a time when science and dreams have combined to literally blast us from Earth and launch us towards the stars. We will never be the same again! The Earth is, to the best of our current knowledge, the only planet in our entire universe to support life. The Earth is the 3rd planet from the Sun which is why it is sometimes called "The 3rd rock from the Sun". The Earth's Greek name is Gaea.
