The Solar System - Results Tables

The provided text outlines a structured approach to cataloguing various characteristics of the planets within our Solar System. It includes two main categories of data: the first set details each planet's distance from the Sun, measured in kilometres, alongside a ranking that places the planets in order according to their proximity to the Sun. The second set of data focuses on the surface temperature of the planets, provided in degrees Celsius, and similarly assigns a rank based on the temperature, allowing for easy comparison between the celestial bodies.

In addition to these quantitative measures, the text also includes a section that classifies each planet as either a 'Rocky' or 'Gas Giant'. This classification helps to distinguish between the terrestrial planets, which have solid, rocky surfaces, and the gas giants, which are composed predominantly of gases and lack a well-defined solid surface. By organising the planets into these categories, the text facilitates a clearer understanding of the fundamental differences in composition and physical characteristics that exist within our Solar System.
