Solar system coloring pages make learning about space both fun and creative. They give you the chance to explore the planets, moons, and stars while adding your own artistic touch.
What’s Inside Solar System Coloring Pages
These pages often show the Sun, all eight planets, the Moon, and sometimes extra details like comets, asteroids, or spacecraft. You might also see the planets in action — Earth spinning, Saturn’s rings glowing, or Mars with its dusty red surface. Some pages group everything in orbit around the Sun, while others focus on one planet at a time.
Color Ideas for Your Pages
Here are some suggestions you can try — but remember, these are only ideas. You can use any colors your imagination chooses.
Sun: Bright yellows, orange highlights, and a hint of red.
Mercury: Light gray or dusty brown.
Venus: Pale yellow with soft orange clouds.
