Jupiter is Called a gas planet which means that means that it is made up of many different layers of gas. Some people call it a fake planet or ghost planet. People don't know if the core is solid but if the crust was solid (ground) gravity would be twice as strong. The layer are made of 90% hydrogen and 10% helium.

Saturn's largest moon is Titan, is a bit bigger than the planet Mercury. Titan is the second largest moon. Saturn has a light orange look with white and gray rings. These rings are made up of ice, rocks, and dust. Saturn's rings are more than 270,000,000 kilometers wide but not even 1 kilometer thick, it also has more than 30 layers of the ring. It is made up of 94% hydrogen, 6% helium. Which means it is mostly gas. Its temperature is around minus 178 degrees Celsius.

Inner planets all contain a core, mantle, and crust. These planets are very dense and rocky. In comparison to outer planets, inner planets are smaller, denser, and rockier.

Being made like an asteroid has left ice patches all over the moon. The moon also has set temperatures because of being tidal locked. The intense freezing temperature is what keeps the ice on the planet frozen. On the sunlit side if the planet it is 25 degrees fahrenheit and on the shadowed side of the moon it is -170

Saturn has a lot of moons around it at a total of 62 moons and the moons can come from an icy material.

A moon is like a giant rock in the sky. The moon doesn’t have any atmosphere, which means there is no air in the moon. There are holes in the moon called craters caused by meteorites and asteroids that hit the moon. There is also hardened lava from old volcanos that have erupted.

The evidence that has been concluded in support of the giant-impact hypothesis is that the Earth contains a lot more molecules that can exist as vapour, for instance water, than the Moon does [1]. This evidence suggests that the heat generated from the collision that occurred billions of years ago turned these molecules into vapour, which could therefore not coalesce as the other molecules, which cannot exist as vapour, did to form the Moon, so the Moon has less of them [1]. Additionally, more evidence is that the

First off the Moon is known to be tremendously huge in the human eye, yet it is only a quarter (3470 km) sized of the Earth. The Moon is the fifth largest moon and is the closest astronomical object to the Earth itself (PSCI 1054, Class Lecture, Motion). The Earth is recognized to have life on it and has many physical and chemical differences than the moon does. It is a known fact that the Earth orbits the sun and the Moon orbits the Earth. Chemical and physical changes can get confusing. For example when a person eats chocolate, digestion is a form of chemical change, but when the person chews it and breaks it down a physical change is at stake. The Moon and the Earth are both dramatically different in ways that may be explained due to research.

The Enceladus moon is an ice-encrusted moon circling Saturn seems to have the conditions vital for life. It was revealed by NASA, disclosing new discoveries made by its unmanned Cassini shuttle. Cassini has recognized hydrogen particles in vapor crest exuding from splits in the surface of Enceladus moon, a little sea moon covered in a thick layer of ice, the United States space organization said.

It has the least amount of relative water of any known object in the Solar System.

Some theories state the the core of Jupiter could be hot molten lava ball or a solid rock.

Uranus’ atmosphere is mostly helium and hydrogen. Uranus doesn't have a firm surface. Its atmosphere is broken into layers based on pressure and temperature. The first layer of the atmosphere is the troposphere, which is the most dense and extends 30 miles from the surface. The next layer of Uranus’ atmosphere is the stratosphere, which contains ethane smog that makes the planet look dull. Uranus’ atmosphere is the coldest in the solar system. Uranus is mainly made of ices, water, methane, and ammonia. Most planets have rocky molten cores, but Uranus has an icy center. The core is 9,000°F. Uranus has a set of rocky rings around its equator that is made of rocks and ice. It is known that there are 13 rings in two systems.

The planet has no day/night atmosphere and this causes temperature swings. The temperatures can range from 90K to 700K. the surface has been inactive , or dead, for approx billions of years.

Saturn may be the most mysterious planet in the universe. This may be due to the density speculation of the rings both A and B. The B ring is the outer ring and not too easy to see through causing the A ring to be barely visible. Scientist have talked and most are saying that the lack of seeing the A ring is due to the huge difference in amount of material. New studies show that the B ring is more than 10 times “thicker” than the A ring, so it is harder to see through giving it a larger density. The only problem is that the B ring only has 2-3 times more material than the A ring. This is much less than scientist said and thought, but this may be all an illusion. There may be more illusions of Saturn waiting to be found, but scientist need to use information to find them.

Neptune is a smaller planet than all other gas planets in the solar system. Neptune is actually more massive than Uranus. Neptune is the densest gas planet in the solar system. Neptune probably has a rocky core. You can’t stand on Neptune.
