Mars terrestrial this photo was also found at www.planetfacts.net Mars has the tallest volcano in the solar system called Olympus Mons it is 15 miles high. If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth you would weigh only 38 pounds on Mars talk about instant weight loss! The reason why Mars is red is because it has rust, in its soil there is iron and because of the air on Mars it has turned the iron to rust.

Jupiter gas this picture was found at www.planetfacts.net If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth you would weigh 264 pounds on Jupiter good lord. Jupiter rotates so fast it takes only 10 hours long. The great red spot on Jupiter is really a huge storm you could fit 100 Earths into it.

Even though Neptune is farther from the sun the Uranus, Uranus is the coldest planet. Uranus is named after the Greek god of the sky there is no Roman names for this planet though.

Neptune gas this picture was found at www.planetfacts.net Neptune is so far away it took voyager 2 12 years to reach it. Neptune is the most stormiest planet of all the planets it winds is 1,240 MPH that 3 times stronger then Earths hurricane. Neptune's deep blue color is because of all of the methane it has I wonder would it explode if fire or something like that touched it?
