The sun is something without which it is impossible to imagine life on our planet. And we all remember well the gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, which are simply impossible to tear yourself away from. But can we imagine what the celestial body looks like on other planets?
Digital illustrations created by Ron Miller, who has spent decades depicting outer space, will help us do just that.
Venus

Mercury

Mercury is 60 million km away from the Sun, which is 39% of the distance from Earth to the Sun. And the Mercury dawn is 3 times larger and brighter than on Earth.
Mars

The Martian star is located at a distance of 230 million km, which is one and a half times further than the Earth. But it’s not the distance that prevents you from seeing it, but the dusty winds rising right into the atmosphere.
Jupiter

Saturn

Saturn is perhaps one of the most recognizable planets. The Sun is 1.5 billion km farther from Saturn (9.5 times further than the Earth from the Sun), but shines no less brightly. Rays from water crystals and gases are refracted, creating incredible optical effects such as halos and false suns.
Uranus

On Ariel, one of the moons of Uranus, there are cold, but incredibly large-scale sunrises. The sun barely warms here because it is located at a distance of almost 2.8 billion km, which is 19 times greater than the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
Neptune

The sun as it is is on Triton, one of Neptune's moons. The distance between them is 4.5 billion km (30 times greater between the Earth and the Sun). Huge geysers of dust and gas obscure the already small, tiny star.
Pluto

A small luminous point, this is exactly what the sun looks like on the most distant planet. The distance from Pluto to the Sun is 6 billion km (40 times more than the Earth from the Sun). The light on Pluto is 1600 times dimmer than on Earth, but still 250 times brighter than the full moon on Earth.

Life on our planet is impossible without the Sun. And perhaps it is difficult to find something more beautiful than sunrise or sunset. But have you ever imagined what, for example, dawn would look like on other planets in the solar system? Artist Ron Miller presented and created digital illustrations that he worked on for decades. 
Mercury
Mercury is located 60 million kilometers from the Sun, which is 39% of the distance between the Sun and our planet. Therefore, the sunrise on Mercury is much brighter than on Earth.
Venus
The distance between the Sun and Venus is 108 million km. Due to the dense clouds enveloping the planet, the Sun in the sky of Venus looks more like a bright spot.
Mars
Mars is located at a distance from the Sun 1.5 times greater than Earth - 230 million km. However, visibility is affected not only by the enormous distance, but also by strong winds that raise dust on the Red Planet.
Jupiter
This is how the Sun looks from Europa, one of the satellites of Jupiter, which is located 779 million km from the star.
Saturn
Saturn is one of the most recognizable planets. Located at a distance of 1.5 billion km from the Sun. The sun's rays are refracted due to the abundance of water, ice crystals and gases, creating incredible optical illusions.
Uranus
On the moon of Uranus, Ariel is an incredible sight. Almost no heat from the Sun reaches Uranus, since they are located at a distance of 2.8 billion km from each other.
Neptune
This is what the Sun would look like if you were on Triton, Neptune's largest moon. Distance - 4.5 billion km.
Pluto
Pluto is located at a distance of 6 billion km from the Sun, so the star in the planet’s sky looks more like a point.The sun is something without which it is impossible to imagine life on our planet. And we all remember well the gorgeous sunsets and sunrises, which are simply impossible to tear yourself away from. But can we imagine what the celestial body looks like on other planets?

The light on Pluto is 1600 times dimmer than on Earth, but still 250 times brighter than the full moon on Earth.
The sun as it exists is on Triton, one of Neptune's moons. The distance between them is 4.5 billion km (that is, 30 times greater than between the Earth and the Sun). Huge geysers of dust and gas obscure the already tiny star.Mercury is 60 million km away from the Sun. This is 39% of the distance from the Earth to the Sun. And the dawn on Mercury is 3 times brighter than on Earth.
And this is what the Sun looks like from the surface of Europa, one of the moons of Jupiter. Jupiter is further away: the distance is 779 million km (which is 5.2 times the distance from the Earth to the Sun). Sunlight passing through the layers of the atmosphere illuminates it with a ring of red light.
Ariel, one of the moons of Uranus, has cold but incredibly large sunrises. The sun barely warms here, because it is located at a distance of almost 2.8 billion km, which is 19 times the distance between the Earth and the Sun.
A small luminous point - this is what the Sun looks like on the most distant planet. The distance from Pluto to the Sun is 6 billion km (40 times the distance from Earth to the Sun). The light on Pluto is 1,600 times dimmer than on Earth, but still 250 times brighter than the light from the full Moon on Earth.
Saturn is perhaps one of the most recognizable planets. The Sun is separated from Saturn by 1.5 billion km (the distance is 9.5 times greater than between our planet and the Sun), but this makes the star shine no less brightly. Rays from water crystals and gases are refracted, creating incredible optical effects such as halos and false suns.
