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.
Whenever you deal with capitalization there is a lot of confusionâeven among the different style guidesâwhich means you can make this a simple, or complicated, learning experience. I prefer simple. On several important points the guides agree. You should capitalize the abbreviations of academic degrees.
