Comprehensive overview of the Solar System. The Sun, planets, dwarf planets and moons are at scale for their relative sizes, not for distances. A separate distance scale is at the bottom. Moons are listed near their planets by proximity of their orbits; only the largest moons are shown. Only the largest moons are shown. Date: 29 May 2018 ...
English: An Euler diagram showing the IAU Executive Committee conception of the relationship between objects in the Solar System. The central star has been excluded. Also excluded are artificial satellites. Cosmic dust found within the Solar System falls under two categories depicted here: Small Solar System bodies and natural satellites.

Adds a diagram of the solar system for the article. A key image to the article itself. A key image to the article itself. Accurately portrays the (currently) nine planets and is correctly labeled as “not to scale” as such an image would be preposterously large and unpleasing due to the vastness of space.
Diagram of the early Solar System's protoplanetary disk, out of which Earth and other Solar System bodies formed. The Solar System formed at least 4.568 billion years ago from the gravitational collapse of a region within a large molecular cloud. [b] This initial cloud was likely several light-years across and probably birthed several stars. [14]
Solar System – gravitationally bound system comprising the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly. Of those objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest eight are the planets (including Earth), with the remainder being significantly smaller objects, such as dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies.
