How was uranus discovered
Accidentally in 1781 then in 1986 voyager 2 flew by Uranus and discovered its rings and moons
Venus atmosphere
Carbon Dioxide and Sulfuric Acid. Carbon dioxide creates greenhouse effect and evaporates sulfuric acid.
belt
Dark heavy clouds that form the darker bands on Jupiter
Titan
Dense atmosphere of nitrogen and methane. Bigger than mercury
does mars have any moons?
Diemos and Phobos
Saturn's atmosphere
Hydrogen helium, ammonia ice
What are the moons of Jupiter made of
Ice and rock
what is Uranus' features?
Internal composition completely fluid. Spins on its side. Tiny rings when probes got to uranus Nasa was disappointed how featureless it was
What are Jupiter's moons?
Io, Europa, Ganymede, Callisto
how big is venus?
It is almost identical in size, and density to the earth.
Jupiter
It's the largest planet. 98% mass of all the planets in the solar system. Its spin on its axis is ten hours so it's the shortest. It has flow patterns that create storms. The red spot is a storm that has been tracked for the last three hundred years. The probes and Galeleo space craft revealed its rings.
mars
Mars red color comes from Iron Oxide or rust in its soil. The surface of mars is full of dirt.
what planets do not have atmospheres?
Mercury
Mercury
Mercury rotates very slowly. The surface has the greatest temperature range of any planet in our solar system.
Neptune atmosphere
Methane that makes it blue. Distinct clouds like Jupiter that make white spots
Venus atmosphere composition
Mostly carbon dioxide, small amount of Nitrogen, trace amounts of sulfur dioxide, water vapor, argon, oxygen, ect.
Neptune
Neptune also has storms. Predicted before discovered by Keller's second and third law in 1846. Smaller and denser than Uranus
how many rings does Neptune have?
Neptune has two thick and two thin rings which surround it. In all 6 made of microscopic particles that don't reflect light very well
the biggest volcano in the entire solar systems:
Olympus mons which is on mars
Saturn's internal structure
Only has a small solid core but fluid elsewhere
Triton
Retrograde orbit
Saturn
Saturn is the least dense among all the planets and the second largest. Pioneer 10,11, voyager 1 and 2, casini space craft have visited them. Magnetic field 1000 times stronger than earth. Aligned with its rotational acess
ringlets
Smaller rings that make up rings of Saturn
Hellas basin
The deepest crater found on the surface of Mars and is filled with dust but the temp at the bottom is 10 degrees cooler than top. Difference In temp creates storm
Io
The gravitational pull of Jupiter makes the plate tectonics active.
gas giants
The name given to the first four outer planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune
How did the Probes that charted Jupiter's moon find them
They used Jupiter's gravity to push them out far enough
Moons of Saturn
Titan and Enceladus
Neptune moons
Triton
Uranus
Uranus rotates from east to west. is on a 98 degree axis. Its atmosphere is composed of hydrogen,helium and methane. Clouds of methane form on Uranus.
is the evening and morning star a star?
Venus
Venus
Venus rotates in the opposite direction of almost all other planets. On the surface it has volcanoes and mountains and sand.
how many rings does Saturn have?
contain open gaps. seven rings made of ice , dust and rocks, general dented left over from collisions of asteroids, moons and so on broken up by Saturns gravity
what produces Jupiter magnetic field
electric fields in the liquid hydrogen
What do the outer planets have in common?
large size and their large number of moons. They are cold. They have rings, lightweight elements, satelites-hydrogen, helium
How big is Jupiter?
largest planet. 318 times size of earth
Saturn's density
less dense than water
zone
light high colored clouds that form the bands on Jupiter
what is Jupiter mostly composed of?
liquid/metallic hydrogen and helium. That's it's atmosphere
Does Mercury have any moons?
no
does Venus have any moons?
no
rotation of the earth on its axis
parallel to the plane of its orbit.
What do the inner planets have in common?
solid, dense, rocky planets. None of the inner planets have rings. Compared to the outer planets, the inner planets have shorter orbits around the Sun, but all the inner planets spin more slowly.
