The Solar System consists of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, including eight planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto is classified as a dwarf planet, while the Moon is Earth’s natural satellite.
In this tutorial, we will draw the Sun and a collection of planets and space objects, then use different colors and simple details to make each one easy to recognize.

Planets Drawing Step by Step Tutorial
Step 1: Draw the Sun
Start by using five bottle caps, a compass, or another round object to draw a large circle for the Sun. Then add curved, jagged rays around the circle to represent the Sun’s powerful light and heat.
Step 2: Color the Sun
Use bright yellow, orange, and red colors to fill in the Sun. Blend the colors together to create a fiery appearance.
Step 3: Draw the Planets
Continue by drawing 10 more circles for the planets and other space objects. Arrange the circles neatly on the paper, leaving enough space between them for coloring and labeling.
Step 4: Color the First Planets
Use suitable colors and patterns to color the first group of planets, including Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, and Jupiter. Add simple details to make each planet look different.
Step 5: Color the Remaining Planets
Continue coloring the remaining planets and space objects, including Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and the Moon. Use different colors and simple patterns to distinguish them from one another.
Step 6: Add the Planet Names
Finally, write the names next to each object so that you can easily identify them: Sun, Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto, and Moon.
