We are constantly orbiting around the sun, so there are no planets behind the sun. If you want to know the names of the planets in our solar system, they are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. However, some people do not consider Pluto to be a planet, because of its odd intersecting orbit with Neptune. Some scientists say that Pluto is a stray asteroid that came into orbit with our sun.

What did the planets near the sun lose because of the sun's temperature?
Planets near the sun likely lost lighter elements like hydrogen and helium due to the sun's high temperature and solar wind. These elements were blown away, leaving behind the heavier elements that make up the terrestrial planets closer to the sun.
What is behind the sun?
There is empty space behind the sun, extending out into the vastness of the solar system and beyond. From Earth's perspective, the sun appears to be at the center of our solar system with planets orbiting around it.
What are inner planets and what are their names?
Inner planets are the four planets closest to the sun in our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars. They are primarily composed of rock and metal, with solid surfaces. These planets are also known as terrestrial planets.
Position of sun and planetsWhat is happeneds sun in 2012Will sun burst occur in 2012?
In 2012, the sun followed its normal patterns of solar activity, including the 11-year solar cycle. There were no unusual events related to the sun or planetary alignment in 2012. There were no predictions or scientific evidence to suggest that a solar burst or catastrophic event involving the sun would occur in 2012.
Does the sun orbit the planets or do the planets orbit the sun?
The planets orbit the sun. The sun is at the center of our solar system and exerts a gravitational pull that keeps the planets in orbit around it.
What are the names of the planets in front of earth?
Mercury is closest to Sol (our sun) and Venus is right behind it. Then there's us.

What are the characteristics of outer and inner planets?
The inner planets are the first 4 planets from the sun, they are made of rock. After the in er planets is an asteroid belt. Behind the belt are the 4 outter planets. They are made of gas and are called "gas giants". These are called outter planets.
How did objects in the solar system get their names?
