It has a thick atmosphere full of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and clouds made of sulfuric acid. The gas traps heat and keeps Venus toasty warm. In fact, it's so hot on Venus, metals like lead would be puddles of melted liquid.

It's similar to a star, but it never got big enough to start burning. It is covered in swirling cloud stripes. It has big storms like the Great Red Spot, which has been going for hundreds of years. Jupiter is a gas giant and doesn't have a solid surface, but it may have a solid inner core about the size of Earth. Jupiter also has rings, but they're too faint to see very well.]]> 2020-11-11 21:25:38 UTC https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914361363 Read more about Jupiter NicoleJavier https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914364633 2020-11-11 21:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914364633 Sixth Planet NicoleJavier https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914368300 Saturn isn’t the only planet to have rings, but it definitely has the most beautiful ones.

It's the last of the planets in our solar system. It's more than 30 times as far from the sun as Earth is. Neptune is very similar to Uranus. It's made of a thick fog of water, ammonia, and methane over an Earth-sized solid center. Its atmosphere is made of hydrogen, helium, and methane. The methane gives Neptune the same blue color as Uranus. Neptune has six rings, but they're very hard to see.]]> 2020-11-11 21:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914381858 Read more about NicoleJavier https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914388094 2020-11-11 21:37:57 UTC https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914388094 Solar System NicoleJavier https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914414374 The solar system is made up of the sun and everything that orbits around it, including planets, moons, asteroids, comets and meteoroids. ]]> 2020-11-11 21:51:27 UTC https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914414374 Sun NicoleJavier https://padlet.com/NicoleJavier/j4rs2xwe8aszx6kd/wish/914418164
