The first step is to draw the orbits of each planet. The orbits of planets closely resemble a circle, except for Pluto's elongated ellipse that crosses over Neptune's orbit. To draw the planet orbits, you should start with the planet that has the closest orbit to the sun, Mercury. Next, draw the orbits of Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. After you have done this, place the labels of the planets on the 3-D solar system.
