Now we’re going to take a trip through the
outer part of our solar system. We’ve
looked at the first four planets, called the
terrestrial planets.

Now it’s time to venture beyond the
asteroid belt to the outer planets, which
we call the Jovian planets, or Gas giants.
These are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and
Neptune.

Their main similarity is that they are gas
giants. They have no solid surface, but
instead are made mostly of gases.

Jupiter is the largest of the outer planets,
and the largest in the solar system. It’s
made mostly of hydrogen and helium with
a smaller core.

Jupiter also has many moons, 50 of which
are confirmed. There are still 17 that
haven’t been confirmed yet. The largest
moon of Jupiter is Io, and it is covered with
volcanoes.

Europa, another of Jupiter’s moons is
covered with ice, and a vast ocean is
believed to exist underneath, meaning
Europa MAY be able to support life.

Jupiter also has a great storm that has
lasted for hundreds of years. This is the
great Red Spot on Jupiter.

As we look at all of the outer planets, we’ll
compare to see how they are similar and
how they are different!

As we travel farther away from the Sun we
reach Saturn. Saturn is most well-known
for its ring system, but actually all of the
outer planets have rings.

<remove Uranus, Neptune and Earth from

Saturn is smaller than Jupiter, but it is the
second largest planet in the Solar System.
Much like Jupiter it is made mostly of
hydrogen and helium gasses.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ga
s_Giant_Interiors.jpg
<image>
Like the rest of the outer planets, Saturn
has many moons. Fifty-three of these
moons are confirmed and nine others are
yet to be confirmed. So it actually has
more CONFIRMED moons than Jupiter.

Saturn’s largest moon is called Titan. It
also has an atmosphere that is mostly
nitrogen, and scientists believe it may be
very much like Earth’s early atmosphere.

The next planet we meet as we move
away from the Sun is Uranus. This is the
seventh planet in our solar system. It is
another gas giant like Saturn and Jupiter.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fil
eUranus,_Earth_size_comparison_without_

<image>
The big difference with Uranus is that the
planet is tilted! The poles are tilted ninety
degrees so instead of being on the “top”
and “bottom” they are on the sides on the
planet.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ur
anus_rings_and_moons.jpg
<image>
Uranus is also the first of two ice giants.
They are called ice giants because their
atmosphere contains frozen gases. These
gases give the planets their blue colors.

Uranus also has moons, like Saturn and
Jupiter. It has fewer moons than both, with
only 27. These moons are named for
Shakespearian characters.

Answer Choices:
A.

The final planet in our solar system is
Neptune. This is the smallest of the outer
planets, but not by much. Uranus and
Neptune are almost the same size.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ne
ptune_Full_Disk_View_-_GPN-2000000443.jpg
<image>
Neptune spins slightly faster than Uranus,
and its day lasts about 16 Earth hours. But
its year is the longest in the solar system,
taking 165 Earth years to orbit the Sun just
one time.

<remove numbers and lines from image>
Much like the other Jovian planets, most
of the atmosphere is made up of hydrogen
and helium, so it doesn’t have a rocky
surface that you could step on.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ne

And, like the other outer planets it has
rings. They aren’t as big or spectacular as
Saturn’s, but they are still there.
Question D

Answer Choices:
A.
B.
C.
D.
Both have around 13 moons orbiting them
Both are ice giants that have frozen gases in their atmosphere
Both are about the same size
Both have quite a bit of hydrogen and helium the atmosphere

All of the outer planets are called Jovian
planets or Gas giants because they are
like Jupiter. The main feature they have in
common with Jupiter is that they are made
of gas.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ga
s_planet_size_comparisons.jpg
<image>
The inner planets are solid and have rocky
surfaces that you could walk on. But the
outer planets are made of gases with
smaller solid cores.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ga
s_Giant_Interiors.jpg
<image>
And while some of the outer planets do
have ice in them as well, they all are made
up of gas and so they are all Jovian
planets.

One of the Jovian planets is Saturn. It is
made up of gases like the other Jovian
planets. And it’s similar to Jupiter because
it has rings.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sat
urn_%28planet%29_large_rotated.jpg

It also has strong winds on it, much like
Jupiter does.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sat

<image>
They also both have moons that could
possibly support life. But Saturn has less
moons that Jupiter. It is believed that
Jupiter has 67 moons while Saturn has
only 62.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sat
urn%27s_Rings_PIA03550.jpg
And both Jupiter and Saturn have
atmospheres that are comprised of
hydrogen and helium.

Saturn has fewer moons than Jupiter. But
Uranus has even less than Saturn. Uranus
is the sixth planet in the solar system.

Uranus is smaller than both Jupiter and
Saturn. But it does have hydrogen and
helium in its atmosphere, like Saturn and
Jupiter.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ga
s_planet_size_comparisons.jpg
<image>
It also has ice in its atmosphere. That is
what gives it the blue color that you see.
And it has a sister ice giant, named
Neptune, the seventh planet in the solar
system.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ur
anus_Dark_spot.jpg
<image>
Uranus also rotates on its side. Its poles
are rotated 90 degrees so the rings that go
around it look like they are going up and
down instead of from side to side.

Neptune is the smallest of the outer
planets, even smaller than Uranus (which
is smaller than both Saturn and Jupiter).
It’s also the last planet in our Solar
System.

Neptune is one of the ice giants, along
with Uranus. The ice gives it that blue
color as it swirls around.
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Ne

Neptune has some faint rings, like Jupiter
does. And it also takes the most amount of
time to orbit the Earth. One Year on
Neptune would last 165 years on Earth.

Unlike Jupiter and Saturn, Neptune has
ice in its atmosphere along with the gases
that make up the planet.
