are 8 planets in our solar system; these are divided into two types‚ large gas giants (Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and Neptune) and smaller rocky terrestrial planets (Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth and Mars). The order from closest to the Sun outwards is; Mercury‚ Venus‚ Earth‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus and finally Neptune. Until 2006 Pluto was also classed as a planet‚ however it is now classified as a dwarf planet (meeting the first two requirements of the definition but not the third). A planet is currently

All planets except Mercury and Venus have at least one moon. Saturn has the greatest number of moons—18. In 1995‚ the Hubble Space Telescope detected what appeared to be four additional moons of Saturn; however‚ that discovery has yet to be confirmed.

Premium Jupiter Planet Solar System
In the outer limits of our solar system there is a planet unlike any other‚ Pluto. Pluto was discovered in February of 1930 by an American astronomer‚ Clyde Tombaugh. It is the only planet to have been discovered by an American. All though we have known of the existence of Pluto for over thirty years now‚ there are still many mysteries surrounding this celestial body. Being the farthest planet has made it difficult to study Pluto‚ Adding to the obscurity of this strange planet is that the capability

Planet Venus and Earth are often called twins because they are similar in size‚ mass‚ density‚ composition and gravity. However‚ the similarities end there. [Photos of Venus‚ the Mysterious Planet Next Door] Venus is the hottest world in the solar system. Although Venus is not the planet closest to the sun‚ its dense atmosphere traps heat in a runaway version of the greenhouse effect that warms up the Earth. As a result‚ temperatures on Venus reach 870 degrees F (465 degrees C)‚ more than hot

Is Our Atmosphere Unique? The planet Jupiter has the biggest atmosphere in our solar system. Jupiter’s atmosphere is composed of 90% hydrogen and 9.9% helium and .1% other gases such as sulfur‚ methane‚ ammonia‚ and water vapor. It is able to hold its atmosphere in because of its massive gravitational pull that is around 2.5 times stronger than earth’s pull. To put that into perspective‚ if you weigh 100 pounds on earth you would weigh 250 pounds on Jupiter. The atmospheric layers are the

activities damage our planet‚ or do they make it a better place to live in? Our planet has being threatened by human activities approximately since the Industrial Revolution‚ in the 19th century‚ which has contributed to expand the greenhouse effect. From this time on‚ humanity has massively increased the gases that are sent to the atmosphere due to better life conditions‚ allowing people‚ from all over the world‚ to use certain new objects and energies that damage the suitability of planet Earth.
