I thought I'd share this with you. I think it's a nice picture of all the 88 known objects in the solar system with a diameter larger than 200 miles.
A few explanations: Planets are (sufficiently large) bodies that orbit a star (such as the Sun).
The four terrestrial planets are the Earth (the largest one), Venus, Mars and Mercury (the smallest one).
The gas giant planets are Jupiter (the largest one), Saturn, Uranus and Neptune (the smallest one).
Dwarf planets are bodies that also orbit a star, but which are considered too small to be regarded as "real" planets.
Moons are bodies that orbit a planet.
Asteroids are small bodies generally located between Mars and Jupiter, following elongated orbits around the Sun.
Trans-Neptunian Objects are located in the outer reaches of the Solar system, beyond Neptune (and beyond Pluto, too).
