Gas Giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune

The Asteroid Belt lies between Mars and Jupiter, separating the inner and outer planets

Gas Giants Also called outer planets or Jovian All have moons All have rings All are composed of hydrogen and helium Have a small, rocky core

Jupiter Largest planet Named for the king of the gods Has violet storms (most famous- the Great Red Spot) Has a small rocky core, thick atmosphere of hydrogen and helium, high pressure Has a thin, faint ring

Jupiter Continued- Makes more heat than it receives form the Sun Has at east 61 moons, the most in the solar system Four largest moons are Galilean moons Explored by Voyager and Galileo

Ganymede Largest moon in solar system

Callisto Heavily cratered

Europa Ice covered

Io Most geologically active in the solar system

Saturn Famous for its rings (thin- about 1 mile thick, but 42,000 miles wide). Rings are made mostly of rock and ice. Lowest density of all planets ( It would float in a bath tub.) Has a small rocky core and an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium Has at least 31 moons. The largest is Titan. Explored by Cassini and Huygens

Titan Second largest moon in solar system

Uranus First planet not known to ancient Greeks Discovered in 1781 Rotates on its side (90 degrees- appears to ‘roll’) Thick atmosphere of hydrogen and helium Bluish-green color due to methane

Uranus Continued- Has dark rings, no cloud bands, and a small, rocky core Has a mantle of liquid water Has at least 21 moons Explored by Voyager

Neptune Named for the god of the sea Atmosphere of hydrogen and helium. Atmosphere changes rapidly. Has dark storms, rings, a rocky core, and a layer of liquid water Has at least 11 moons. Triton is the largest. Explored by Voyager

Triton – Neptune’s largest moon Nitrogen atmosphere
