Planet Compare - NASA Solar System Exploration NASA’s real-time science encyclopedia of deep space exploration Our scientists and far-ranging robots explore the wild frontiers of our solar system
In Depth | Ganymede – NASA Solar System Exploration Not only is it the largest moon in our solar system, bigger than the planet Mercury and the dwarf planet Pluto, but NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has found the best evidence yet for an underground saltwater ocean on Ganymede The ocean is thought to have more water than all the water on Earth's surface
In Depth | Titan – NASA Solar System Exploration Titan is bigger than Earth's moon, and larger than even the planet Mercury This mammoth moon is the only moon in the solar system with a dense atmosphere, and it’s the only world besides Earth that has standing bodies of liquid, including rivers, lakes and seas, on its surface
In Depth | Our Solar System - NASA Solar System Exploration Our solar system consists of our star, the Sun, and everything bound to it by gravity – the planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune; dwarf planets such as Pluto; dozens of moons; and millions of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids
In Depth | Sun – NASA Solar System Exploration Like all stars, our Sun will eventually run out of energy When it starts to die, the Sun will expand into a red giant star, becoming so large that it will engulf Mercury and Venus, and possibly Earth as well
In Depth | Moons – NASA Solar System Exploration There are hundreds of moons in our solar system – even asteroids have been found to have small companion moons Of the terrestrial (rocky) planets of the inner solar system, neither Mercury nor Venus have any moons at all, Earth has one and Mars has its two small moons
In Depth | Callisto – NASA Solar System Exploration Callisto is Jupiter’s second largest moon and the third largest moon in our solar system It’s about the same size as Mercury In the past, some scientists thought of Callisto as a boring “ugly duckling moon” and a “hunk of rock and ice ”
