Printable Solar System Chart
A free printable solar system chart — the Sun and all eight planets in order with fact cards for size, distance, moons and orbit. Exact-scale print.
This solar system sheet shows the Sun and the eight planets — Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn (with its rings), Uranus and Neptune — in order from the Sun, each drawn in its characteristic colour and sized to show their relative differences. Beneath each planet a fact card lists its diameter, distance from the Sun in AU, number of known moons and orbital period.
It's a clear, accurate reference for astronomy and science lessons, projects and display. Please note the planets' sizes and distances are not to true scale — a true-scale solar system won't fit on a page — but the order, colours and the facts are correct. Toggle the fact cards and distance labels, choose your accent, and print in landscape.
Printing at exact scale
Every sheet is drawn in real millimetres and prints at exact physical scale. For accurate output, set Scale = 100% (Actual size) and Margins = None in your browser's print dialog. Not sure your printer is honest? Run the printer ruler test first to confirm 50 mm really measures 50 mm.
Frequently asked questions
Are the planet sizes to scale?
No — a true-scale solar system is impossible to fit on one page. Sizes are drawn to show relative differences (the gas giants are clearly larger) and the order, colours and facts are accurate.
What facts are shown for each planet?
Diameter, average distance from the Sun in astronomical units (AU), number of known moons and orbital period — all real values.
How many planets are shown?
The eight planets, in order from the Sun: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Is it really free?
Yes. Every template on printsheet.io is completely free, with no sign-up, no account and no watermark. Generate as many sheets as you like.
How do I get an exact-scale print?
Choose your paper size, then in the print dialog set Scale to 100% or “Actual size” and Margins to None. The sheet is defined in real millimetres, so it prints at true size. Use the calibration ruler page to verify.
Which paper sizes are supported?
A4, A5, A3, A6, US Letter, Legal and Tabloid, in portrait or landscape. Pick the size that matches the paper loaded in your printer.
Can I save it as a PDF instead of printing?
Yes — choose “Save as PDF” as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The PDF keeps the exact millimetre dimensions.
