Top Ten Most Beautiful Planets, Moons, and Dwarf Planets In Our Solar System

This list compiles the most beautiful planets, moons, and dwarf planets in our solar system.
The Top Ten
Earth

Our home planet is located in the Goldilocks zone. The Goldilocks zone, or habitable zone, is the area where planets can support life. This area is neither too hot nor too cold.

Earth is not so close to the Sun that it becomes unbearably hot, nor is it so far away that it turns into a frozen wasteland. This is why our planet is the best.

No planet is quite like Earth. Earth is much more beautiful than any other planet. It is our home planet, and even beneath the surface, Earth is incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring.

Saturn Saturn is the 6th planet from the Sun, it is the second-largest and has the most moons. One year on Saturn is 29 Earth years (10,756 Earth days). Saturn is known for its rings. Saturn is a gas giant, so there is no solid surface on the planet. It is also almost 1 billion miles away from the Sun. The... read more

I love the beautiful rings, which are made of dust, rock, and ice. It's the most unique planet besides Earth.

Earth comes in a close second, but Saturn has such gorgeous rings surrounding it.

If you don't know what Saturn looks like, you might want to pick up a book.

Neptune

The element that makes Neptune blue is methane. This is the same element that gives Uranus its blue hue. Both are classified as ice giants because they are made of ice and gas.

Neptune is particularly interesting because of the Great Dark Spot.

Besides Earth (which I didn't vote for because it is the obvious winner), Neptune is the most beautiful planet. Just look at that shade of blue!

It is a blue planet, and it is beautiful because of its blue color. It looks like a huge ocean.

Jupiter

The largest planet of all. Even if you combined all the other planets in the solar system, they would not match the mass and size of Jupiter.

It was named after the king of the Roman gods, who has a Greek counterpart known as Zeus. This planet also has the largest moon, Ganymede.

The red spot, white stripes, and sheer scale of this giant make it so interesting.

The largest planet in our solar system is also one of the most beautiful.

Titan Titan is the largest moon of Saturn and the second largest moon in the Solar System after Ganymede. It is the only moon that has a atmosphere.

The only area in the solar system that could feasibly support life (other than Earth, of course), especially if life can be based on methane.

Whether you look at its cloud tops or its Earth-like lakes and geological landmarks, Titan is one of the most beautiful destinations in the Solar System, second only to Venus.

Larger than Mercury and the only known moon with a dense atmosphere. Also, the only known planet or moon that has liquid on its surface.

Pluto

The pictures aren't just for you. They show that we can never stop exploring new places, including those we've never seen before. It shows that we can keep achieving goals that are important for all of our lives. It's another small step for man and a giant leap for mankind.

If Pluto were still classified as a planet, it would be the third-best planet, just behind Mars and Earth.

A fascinating discovery was made by New Horizons: Pluto is geologically active. Geophysicists are still speculating on how a frozen body with low gravity can exhibit such activity.

Io Io is the third largest moon from the four of Jupiter's moons. It is the fourth largest moon in the Solar System.

Io is a moon of Jupiter that is the most geologically active world in our Solar System. Its geology and colors are due to tidal forces between Jupiter and its other large moons.

This is probably the most dangerous moon in our solar system. It's completely covered in lava, volcanoes, sulphurous gas, and ash! Still looks beautiful, though.

This looks like pizza! It is the most geologically active moon in the solar system and a fascinating object.

Moon

The Moon is closer to us than any other cosmic object. It has such a profound influence on nature, our lives, and our art that it's hard to find another object, besides the Sun, as popular across cultures.

And... it is REALLY beautiful.

You know, why is our Sun called Sun, and our Moon called Moon, but others aren't? Well, I guess some people call them Sol and Luna, though.

The Moon... the dazzling natural satellite of our planet, the only celestial body other than our own that humans have set foot upon.

Uranus Uranus is the seventh planet from the Sun in our solar system. It was discovered by William Herschel in 1781, making it the first planet to be discovered with a telescope. Unique among the planets, Uranus has an axial tilt of about 98 degrees, causing it to rotate on its side. Composed mainly of hydrogen,... read more

Uranus is the most eye-catching planet in the solar system. Its beautiful light blue color makes it look like a comet or a second star!

I heard that this planet smells like a rotten egg. The rotation is unique since the planet is rolling instead of spinning.

Ridiculously compelling. Don't look at it for too long, though - you might just get lost in the solid blue planet!

Venus Venus is the second planet from the Sun and the closest planetary neighbor to Earth. Known for its bright appearance in the sky, Venus is sometimes referred to as the "Evening Star" or the "Morning Star." The planet has a thick atmosphere primarily composed of carbon dioxide, leading to a greenhouse... read more

Whether you're looking at it cloud-covered or just observing the surface, Venus is definitely the most beautiful planet in our Solar System - maybe even in the Multiverse!

Venus is associated with women, you know. I just love the name. It sounds so proper.

The sister planet that looks completely different from its sister!

The Newcomers

? Ganymede

Cool moon and the biggest one.

Jupiter's moon.

? 103P/Hartley
The Contenders
Mars

Mars has much the same geology as Earth, but is a barren red desert. However, it is truly breathtaking in its wonders.

Red and dusty, but it shows promise for extraterrestrial life!

Thanks to David Bowie, I have an obsession with this planet.

Mercury

Mercury shines with a beautiful color. Our Moon shines bright too, but not as brightly as Mercury.

It looks cool, cozy, and beautiful. I was stunned when I saw it.

Such a beautiful planet.

Europa

A moon of Jupiter, Europa has a strange, scratchy-looking surface.

Callisto

Callisto has some of the most beautiful colors, patterns, and shapes out of all the moons and satellites.

Beautiful colors. I don't know why Callisto is so underrated.

I love its look - it feels like an everlasting party.

Triton

Triton looks awesome.

Miranda

A moon of Uranus and a very peculiar-looking object. It kind of reminds me of a giant fossil sphere.

WASP-12b

The sun gives it its beauty.

Yes, the most beautiful.

Ceres

A wonderful, little-known world just waiting to be explored.

It has beautiful bright spots.

It has beautiful spots.

Eris Eris is a dwarf planet located in the scattered disk, a region of the solar system beyond Neptune. It was discovered in 2005 by astronomer Mike Brown and his team, and its discovery led to a redefinition of what constitutes a planet, eventually resulting in the reclassification of Pluto as a dwarf planet... read more

Eris, one of the iciest and least-known objects in the Solar System, is a place we do not yet understand but strive to.

Eris is colder than Pluto and mostly unknown by many people, but it's super nice!

I hope Eris becomes a planet because I would love to go there.

Makemake

It does look cool.

Intriguing name.

Enceladus

Enceladus, the 6th moon of Saturn. It's magnificent.

Kepler 452b

One of the most Earth-like planets, but bigger in mass and diameter, with 2x gravity.

It is like Earth.

Biden

That's 2012 VP113, by the way.

Haumea

The solar system's oddball. Shaped like an egg, Haumea is a sight to behold.

It's vertical.
