Hint: Planets are usually in the shape of a spheroid. Planets do not produce light and they are smaller than stars. The objects that orbit the planets are called Satellites.

Complete answer:
The planets that orbit in order from the sun are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
The planets that orbit closer to the sun are called inner planets and the planets that orbit far away from the sun are called outer planets.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars are the inner planets and these are composed of rock, relatively small, and will have few or no moons.
Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune are the outer planets and these are mostly gaseous, ringed, huge, and will have many moons. Even though pluto is the outer planet, it is small and has only four moons.
In general the farther the planet from the sun, the cooler will be the planet. However, the differences occur whenever the greenhouse effect warns a planet like Venus, which is surrounded by a thick atmosphere.
The length of the time taken by the planet to rotate on its axis is called a day. For Earth, it takes about 24 hours.
Venus is the planet with the longest day. For a day, it takes about 243 Earth days. Also, on Venus a day is longer than its year and it takes only 224.7 Earth days.
Thus the distance from the Sun to Venus is almost about 67,000,000 miles or 108,000,000 km.

Note: Venus is the hottest planet in the solar system and is sometimes also called Earth’s sister due to their similar mass, size, bulk composition. And at the same time, it is the most dangerous planet.
