How to draw the solar system

In this lesson I will tell you how to draw our solar system, the planets of the solar system in stages with a pencil.

Look how big our star - the Sun is compared to the planets, in particular ours. Each planet in the solar system revolves around the sun, each has its own rotation period. We are at such a distance from the sun that we do not freeze and do not burn, this is the ideal distance for the development of life. If we were a little closer or a little further, we would not be here now, we would not rejoice at every minute of our lives and would not sit near computers and learn to draw.

So, on the left side of the paper we draw a small sun, a little higher than the planet, which is very close to it - Mercury. Usually they show the orbit in which the planet moves, we will do that too. The second planet is Venus.

Now our turn has come, the planet Earth is the third, it is slightly larger than all the previous ones. Mars is smaller than Earth and farther away.

A very large distance is occupied by the Asteroid Belt, where there are many, many asteroids (a celestial body of the solar system that does not have an atmosphere) of irregular shape. The Asteroid Belt lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system.

The sixth planet from the sun is Saturn, it is slightly smaller than Jupiter.

Then come the planets Uranus and Neptune.

At the moment, it is believed that there are 8 planets in the solar system. There used to be a ninth called Pluto, but relatively recently similar objects have been found, such as Eris, Makemaki and Haumea, which are all combined into one name - plutoids. This happened in 2008. These planets are dwarf.

Their orbital axes are larger than Neptune's, here are examples of Pluto's and Eris' orbits compared to other orbits.

However, our Earth in the entire universe is not the only planet on which there is life, there are other planets that are very far in the universe and we may never know about them.
