1 Mars â Sometimes called the red planet and the brother of Earth. 2  Mars is the closest planet to the Earth. 3  Jupiter â The largest planet in the Solar System. 4  Saturn â Sixth planet from the Sun.
1 When talking about a general direction, the word is often not capitalised, example: the north side of the house. 2  Place names are capitalised: East Sussex, West Virginia, South Africa.  In other cases, adjectives and nouns normally begin with small letters: Go south for three miles, then go east for another three miles.
When it comes to the question of directions, thereâs often quite a bit of confusion as to whether or not you should capitalize the directions north, south, east and west. Part of the problem is there are times you do and times you donât, and sometimes the difference between the two isnât readily apparent.
