What are the outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune What do they have in common?

Compare and contrast inner and outer planets Have layers Orbit the sun Four of each No clearly defined surfaces Only see the atmospheres Much larger Have rings Have moons Similarities Difference

The Outer Planets

Questions A friend says that a person canNOT walk on the surface of Saturn. Is she right? Explain Yes, she is right. As an outer planet, Saturn has a gas surface unlike the rocky surface of the inner planets, like Earth. What effect does gravity have on the outer planets? Gravity keeps them in motion around the sun.

Jupiter http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s56pxa9lpvo

Jupiter 5th planet from the sun Largest in the solar system Made of hydrogen and helium that move in bands of color Fast Rotation Over 60 moons!

Questions How many rotations does Jupiter make in 50 Earth days? 50 X 2 Jupiter rotations = 100 Jupiter rotations What are the main gases that make up Jupiter’s atmosphere? Hydrogen and helium Would the length of a day on Jupiter be longer or shorter than a day on Earth? Shorter

Saturn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS9D9CzwPQU

Saturn 6th planet from the sun Atmosphere contains mostly hydrogen and helium Low density Best rings! Inner rings rotate faster than outer rings Over 62 moons

Questions How are Saturn and Jupiter alike and different? Both are gas giants and have atmospheres made up of hydrogen and helium. Jupiter is larger than Saturn. Also, Saturn has more visible rings. What keeps Saturn’s rings in orbit? Gravity!

Uranus http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G7f1nuwRq_E

Uranus 7th planet from the sun Hydrogen, helium, and methane “fuzzy blue-green” Rotates on its side And we don’t know why! 27 moons Rings Space diamonds!

Questions What gases make up Uranus’s atmosphere? Hydrogen, helium, and methane In what direction does the equator on Uranus run? North to South

Neptune

Neptune 8th planet from the sun Too far to see 13 moons Bluish color Storms Bands of clouds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmUvTH7sveg

Questions What effect do you think Neptune’s distance from Earth has on its temperature? Neptune’s temperature is very cold because it is so far from the sun. What gases make up Uranus’s atmosphere? Hydrogen, Helium, and Methane What record does Neptune’s moon, Triton, hold? Triton might be the coldest body in the solar system.
