Saturn- a giant planet that is surrounded by three planar concentric rings of ice particles; the 6th planet from the sun Sun- the star that is the source of light and heat for the planets in the solar system; "the sun contains 99.85% of the mass in the solar system"; "the Earth rev...
We can use observations of how the disks change with time to estimate how long it takes for planets to form. If we measure the temperature and luminosity of a protostar, then, as we saw, we can place it in an H–R diagram like the one shown inFigure 1 of The H-R Diagram and the...
The planet with the longest day is Venus; a day on Venus takes 243 Earth days. (A day on Venus is longer than its year; a year on Venus takes only 224.7 Earth days). The planet with the shortest day is Jupiter; a day on Jupiter only takes 9.8 Earth hours! When you observe Jupi...
The left-hand panel shows Uranus, with its rings, moons and some surface features. Due to the tilt of Uranus, we see the rings completely surround the planet, giving the appearance of aWhat are the seasons like for the giant planets? The spin axis of Jupiter is tilted by only 3°, so...
Spectacular rings made mostly of ice and frosted rock and gas giant made mostly of hydrogen gas. Uranus the 7th planet from Sun. rotates on its side, blue green color and gas giant. Neptune the 8th planet from Sun. This planet appears blue when viewed through a telescope, has the highest...
Learn about the 8 planets that make up our solar system with this convenient printable solar system diagram for kids. (If you thought there were 9, remember, Pluto has been demoted to a dwarf planet.) Starting with the planet closest to the sun, there’s Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Ju...

The diagram shows the situation at Eastern quadrature. At opposition, the Sun, Earth and Saturn form a straight line in space and the shadow of the planet's rings lies in the same direction as the Earth's line-of-sight to the planet (blue line); hence no ring-shadow can be seen ...
Figure 4: Atmospheric Structure of the Jovian Planets.In each diagram, the yellow line shows how the temperature (see the scale on the bottom) changes with altitude (see the scale at the left). The location of the main layers on each planet is also shown. ...
The deity holds the sun disk (with a three-legged black crow inside), moon disk (with a rabbit and frog inside), a trident (Gekihoko 戦鉾), and a staff (Shakujō 錫杖) with metal rings. The deity stands on one leg, with the right foot raised behind the opposite knee, forming the...
