Our solar system is an amazingly beautiful place. And thanks to modern telescopes and spacecraft, we can enjoy the volcanoes of Mercury, and the crimson plains of Mars, and the beautiful rings of Saturn, and even the gloomy icy desert of Pluto.
Illustrator Ron Miller worked with NASA to recreate photographs of sunrises and sunsets that we - theoretically - could observe on different neighboring planets of the Earth.
Lifter could not pass by and invites you to enjoy this magical scientific spectacle.
This is how the Sun looks on the surface of Mercury. The distance between the two celestial bodies is 58 million kilometers.
Here is Venus covered with volcanoes and lava. Its atmosphere is almost entirely composed of carbon dioxide, so there is an eternal thunderstorm, hellish heat and almost no sun is visible. The distance to it is 108 million kilometers.
And here is a rare photo of the Sun from Earth, during an eclipse. Distance - 150 million kilometers.

This is what a sunny day looks like on Mars. The distance from planet to star is 228 million kilometers.
Here's what you would see on Jupiter. The sun seems small: the distance is 779 million kilometers. The view is obstructed by Europa, Jupiter's largest moon.
This is what you might see on Saturn if you got there. The distance to the Sun is 1.43 billion kilometers.
And this is how dawn looks like on Uranus. The Sun is 2.88 billion kilometers from here, but Ariel, the main "Moon" of Uranus, is nearby.
And this is the surface of Neptune. A huge Triton (satellite), huge geysers on the surface, ice and a tiny sun, which, however, is clearly visible. Distance - 4.5 billion kilometers.
And finally, this is what you would see on Pluto. From here to the Sun 5.91 billion kilometers.
