About these solar system coloring pages
These solar system coloring pages turn space into a friendly place kids can explore. The sun beams with a big smiling face, and every planet from little Mercury to giant Jupiter with its cloud bands and ringed Saturn shows up as a round, cheerful world. Rockets, astronauts and a smiling moon round out the easy set. Big, bold outlines and simple round shapes suit preschool and early-grade hands perfectly.
Older stargazers can fill in the whole solar system on its orbit rings, a spiral galaxy, an astronaut planting a flag on the moon and a busy meteor shower, all rich with fine detail. There are constellation maps, telescopes, a space station and badge-style planet scenes too. Every page prints free on US Letter or A4, and you can download each one as a PDF or PNG.
Coloring tips and activities
- Give each planet its own real color scheme so Mars, Earth and Jupiter look different from one another.
- Leave a small white glint on the sun and stars so they look bright against the darker space around them.
- Use light, even shading for space so your planets and rockets stand out in front of it.
- Try soft blends of two or three colors on the big gas planets to show off their swirling cloud bands.
