What does the Sun look like on other planets?

Based on the distance between the Sun and planets, Ron Miller, an American illustrator, creates vivid images that show the shape of the Sun when viewed from another planet.

The Sun looks from Mercury .The planet lies 58 million kilometers from the Sun, which is 39 percent of the distance from the Earth to the Sun.On Mercury, the Sun seems to be three times larger than Earth.

The Sun is difficult to see clearly from Venus , the planet is 108 million kilometers away (about 72% of the distance from the Earth to the Sun).Watching from beneath the thick clouds filled with Venus's sulfuric acid, the Sun was like a dim light in the dim sky.If you can see clearly, the Sun on Venus is only half bigger than on Earth.

The Sun lies 229 million kilometers from Mars .Because Mars is 1.5 times farther away from the Sun than the Earth, the Sun looks smaller in the dusty sky of the red planet.

The Sun looks from Europa , one of Jupiter's moons.Jupiter is about 779 million kilometers from the Sun, which is 5.2 times further than the distance from the Earth to the Sun.Therefore, the Sun on Jupiter is 5 times smaller than on Earth.In the picture, Jupiter prepares to pass in front of the Sun.Sunlight penetrates the planet's dense atmosphere, forming a ring of red rings surrounding Jupiter.

The Sun looks from Saturn at 1.429 million kilometers, 9.5 times farther away from Earth.Water and gas crystals include ammonia refracting sunlight, forming beautiful optical effects like aura and fake sun.Although Sunlight on Saturn is more than 100 times dimmer than the Earth, the Sun is still bright enough to be unable to look directly at it without wearing eye protection.

The Sun looks from Ariel , one of the moons of Uranus.The Uranus is 2.9 billion kilometers from the Sun, 19 times farther away from the Earth to the Sun.

The Sun looks from Triton , one of the moons of Neptune.Neptune is 4.5 billion kilometers from the Sun, 30 times the distance from the Earth.The clouds of dust and gas generated from ultra-low-temperature spray circuits on Triton make the Sun dim with a size of only one-thirty that compared to viewed from Earth.

The Sun looks from Pluto at nearly 6 billion kilometers, 40 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun.Sunlight on this planet is more than 1,600 times dimmer than on Earth but still brighter than any object in the sky and difficult to see directly.
