Chapter 5: the Jovian planets (cont.)

Saturn Cassini is currently in orbit around Saturn and is continually sending back more data about Saturn and its moons.

Saturn, Up Close

Comparison of Saturn with Earth and Earth-Moon distance

Saturn’s Atmosphere

Saturn’s Cloud Structure

Saturn Storm

Saturn winds and bands

Uranus and Neptune Just one spacecraft (Voyager II) has visited Uranus and Neptune Both planets get their bluish color from methane in their atmospheres.

Uranus’s Seasons are extreme due to its tilt

Uranus’s Rotation

Neptune’s Dark Spot was temporary, and has now disappeared

Jovian Interiors

Jovian Magnetic Fields

Uranus’ and Neptune’s magnetic fields have strange orientations, and are not at all aligned with the rotation of the planet. Saturn’s magnetic field is perfectly aligned.
