~Facts about Jupiter💫~

1. Jupiter Is Massive:

It’s no secret that Jupiter is the largest planet in the Solar System. But this description really doesn’t do it justice. For one, the mass of Jupiter is 318 times as massive as the Earth. In fact, Jupiter is 2.5 times more massive than all of the other planets in the Solar System combined.🙃

2. Astronomers call Jupiter a failed star, but that’s not really an appropriate description. While it is true that, like a star, Jupiter is rich in hydrogen and helium, Jupiter does not have nearly enough mass to trigger a fusion reaction in its core. This is how stars generate energy, by fusing hydrogen atoms together under extreme heat and pressure to create helium, releasing light and heat in the process.but Jupiter is not a star🌟

3. Jupiter Is The Fastest Spinning Planet In The Solar System:

For all its size and mass, Jupiter sure moves quickly. In fact, with an rotational velocity of 12.6 km/s (~7.45 m/s) or 45,300 km/h (28,148 mph), the planet only takes about 10 hours to complete a full rotation on its axis. And because it’s spinning so rapidly, the planet has flattened out at the poles a little and is bulging at its equator.💨🍃

4. Jupiter Has Rings:

When people think of ring systems, Saturn naturally comes to mind. But in truth, both Uranus and Jupiter have ring systems of their own. Jupiter’s were the third set to be discovered (after the other two), due to the fact that they are particularly faint. Jupiter’s rings consist of three main segments – an inner torus of particles known as the halo, a relatively bright main ring, and an outer gossamer ring.💫

5. The Clouds On Jupiter Are Only 50 km Thick:

That’s right, all those beautiful whirling clouds and storms you see on Jupiter are only about 50 km thick. They’re made of ammonia crystals broken up into two different cloud decks. The darker material is thought to be compounds brought up from deeper inside Jupiter, and then change color when they reacted with sunlight. But below those clouds, it’s just hydrogen and helium, all the way down.☁️

6. Jupiter Has 67 Moons:

As of the penning of this article, Jupiter has a 67 confirmed and named satellites. However, it is estimated that the planet has over 200 natural satellites orbiting it. Almost all of them are less than 10 kilometers in diameter, and were only discovered after 1975, when the first spacecraft (Pioneer 10) arrived at Jupiter.🌕

7. The Great Red Spot Has Been Around For A Long Time:

The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is one of its most familiar features. This persistent anticyclonic storm, which is located south of its equator, measures between 24,000 km in diameter and 12–14,000 km in height. As such, it is large enough to contain two or three planets the size of Earth’s diameter. And the spot has been around for at least 350 years, since it was spotted as far back as the 17th century.🗓️

8. Jupiter’s Magnetic Field Is 14 Times Stronger Than Earth’s:

Compasses would really work on Jupiter. That’s because it has the strongest magnetic field in the Solar System. Astronomers think the magnetic field is generated by the eddy currents – i.e. swirling movements of conducting materials – within the liquid metallic hydrogen core. This magnetic field traps particles of sulfur dioxide from Io’s volcanic eruptions, which producing sulfur and oxygen ions. Together with hydrogen ions originating from the atmosphere of Jupiter, these form a plasma sheet in Jupiter’s equatorial plane.💪

9. Jupiter also is the oldest planet, forming from the dust and gases left over from the Sun's formation 4.5 billion years ago.🎊

1) Saturn is the sixth planet from the sun and the second largest planet in the solar system

2) Saturn is a gas giant composes of hydrogen and helium

3) Distance from the sun is 1.4487 billion km

4) Saturn has the second-shortest day in the solar system. One day on Saturn takes only 10.7 hours (the time it takes for Saturn to rotate or spin around once), and Saturn makes a complete orbit around the Sun (a year in Saturnian time) in about 29.4 Earth years (10,756 Earth days)

5) Saturn's ring are made out of billions of small chunks of ice and rock coated with other materials such as dust

6) Saturn has the more moons than any other planet in solar system

7) Saturn is the flattest planet in solar system

8) Saturn is the most distant planet that can be seen by naked eye

9) Saturn's upper atmosphere is divided into bands of clouds

10) Due to Saturn's vast distance from the Sun, the gas giant's average "surface" temperature is -178 degrees Celsius or -288.4 degrees Fahrenheit

11) Saturn is so light that it would float in water, if there was an ocean big enough.

12) It's very windy in Saturn

13) Saturn's ring aren't solid

14) Saturnis the fifth brightest object in the solar system and is also easily studied through binoculars or a small telescope.

15) Saturn has a hexagonal shaped storm at its North Pole

16) Saturn's rotation causes it to have the shape of an oblate spheroid; that is, it is flattened at the poles and bulges at its equator

17) Saturn took shape when the rest of the solar system formed about 4.5 billion years ago when gravity pulled swirling gas and dust in to become this gas giant. About 4 billion years ago, Saturn settled into its current position in the outer solar system, where it is the sixth planet from the Sun. Like Jupiter, Saturn is mostly made of hydrogen and helium, the same two main components that make up the Sun

18) Saturn's environment is not conducive to life as we know it. The temperatures, pressures, and materials that characterize this planet are most likely too extreme and volatile for organisms to adapt to

1)Uranus is one of two ice giants in the outer solar system (the other is Neptune).

2)Most (80% or more) of the planet's mass is made up of a hot dense fluid of "icy" materials – water, methane, and ammonia – above a small rocky core. Near the core, it heats up to 9,000 degrees Fahrenheit (4,982 degrees Celsius).

3)Uranus is a very cold and windy world.

4)The ice giantis surrounded by 13 faint rings and 28 small moons.

5)Uranus rotates at a nearly 90-degree angle from the plane of its orbit.

6)This unique tilt makes Uranus appear to spin sideways, orbiting the Sun like a rolling ball.

7)Uranus has 28 known moons, including five major moons: Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania, and Oberon.

8)Uranus has two sets of rings. The inner system of nine rings consists mostly of narrow, dark grey rings.

9)Uranus was the first to be seen on a telescope.

10)The discoverer of Uranus wanted it to be called Georgium Sidus.

Interesting info about Neptune:

1) Being the planet farthest away from the sun, it is also the coldest and windest planet in the solar system.

2) It has supersonic winds that's faster than sound.

3) It is also known as an 'Ice Giant' because it is made of thick fog of water, ammonia and methane over an Earth-sized center.

4) Neptune has 13 (over) moons, for example: Triton (The biggest moon of Neptune that is discovered), Sao...

5) Neptune is about four times wider than Earth.

6) The same as Saturn, it has 6 rings but are difficult to see.

7) It takes 165 Earth years for Neptune to complete a rotation around the sun (which means, one year on Neptune equals 165 years on Earth).

8) In 1989, Voyager 2 becomes the first and ( only ) spacecraft to visit Neptune.

9) Johann Gottfried Galle discovered Neptune in 1890.

10) Neptune gets its colour from the methane in its atmosphere.

~ Facts about the EARTH ~ 1)The Earth is spinning around at 1,000 mph.

~This is why we have daytime and nighttime. It means that one side of the planet is in light, and the other is in darkness.

2) Earth is thought to be 4.5 billion years old.

~And it has changed a lot over the years. Around 250 million years ago, Earth was home to one ‘supercontinent’ called Pangea. Since then, it slowly broke apart and formed the continents we know today.

3) It’s only the 5th biggest planet in our solar system.

~The Earth’s diametre – the distance from one side to the other – is around 12,800 km.

4) The Earth takes 365.25 days to orbit the Sun

~Because of the extra six hours that it takes to orbit the Sun, every four years we need to add a leap day to the calendar. This day falls on 29th February.

5) Earth has one moon and no rings

~ Earth is the only known planet that has just one moon.

6) It’s the only ocean planet in our solar system

~Around 70% of the Earth’s surface is covered in water. It’s a big reason why Earth can support life, as it provides 70% of the planet’s oxygen.

7) It’s the only known planet that supports life

~The unique conditions on Earth – when compared with other planets – mean it is capable of supporting life in many forms.

8) The Sun is 1.3 million times bigger than Earth

~That’s big!

9) The Earth’s atmosphere protects it from many things

~It helps to warm the planet, in an effect known as ‘The Greenhouse Effect.’ Without this, the Earth’s oceans would freeze over (and so would we!). It also protects us against meteors, which break up in the atmosphere before they can reach the surface.

10) Earth is part of a group of planets called ‘The Milky Way’

~The Milky Way is one of an estimated 2 TRILLION galaxies in our universe. And it’s possible that there is more than one universe out there. Mathematically-speaking, that means there is a good chance that life exists on other planets. We just have to find it!
