Jupiter is the fifth planet from the Sun and the largest planet in our solar system. It has a day that is around 9.9 hours and takes approximately 11.86 years to orbit the Sun. Jupiter is classified as a gas giant and an outer planet. Some key facts about Jupiter include that it is over 11 times the size of Earth and has no solid surface, being composed mainly of hydrogen and helium.

Galileo Galilei
Galileo Galilei first observed the four largest moons of Jupiter - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto - in 1610 using a telescope. He recognized that they were orbiting Jupiter, which challenged the geocentric model at the time. The document then provides details on each of the Galilean moons, describing their sizes, compositions, potential for liquid water and life, and notable features. Galileo's discovery supported the Copernican model of the solar system and was a major breakthrough in astronomy.
Dwarf planets
Dwarf planets are celestial bodies that orbit the sun, have sufficient mass to assume a spherical shape, have not cleared their orbit of other objects, and are not satellites. Examples of dwarf planets include Pluto and Ceres. While Pluto was previously considered a planet, in 2006 it was reclassified as a dwarf planet due to its small size and eccentric orbit beyond Neptune's orbit at over 17 million km2. Dwarf planets fall between minor bodies like asteroids and major planets like those in our solar system.

The gas giants of the solar system
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. It has 67 moons including the four largest moons - Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Io is the innermost moon and has active volcanoes. Europa has a liquid ocean under its icy surface. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system. Callisto was one of the first moons discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. Saturn is the second largest planet and has over 60 moons including Titan and Enceladus. Titan has a dense atmosphere and is the only moon known to have stable bodies of liquid on its surface. Enceladus has jets of water vapor and organic molecules erupting from its

the solar system
Our solar system consists of 8 planets orbiting the Sun, along with moons orbiting the planets and asteroids orbiting the Sun. The planets have orbited the Sun for billions of years. They range in size and composition, from the dusty, airless desert of Mars to the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn. Many planets were named after gods from ancient Roman mythology.
Trinity Pluto trinity
Venetia Burney, an 11-year old English girl, proposed the name "Pluto" for the newly discovered planet in 1930. Her grandfather sent the name to the Royal Astronomical Society, who accepted it. In 2006, Pluto was reclassified as a dwarf planet due to its small size and inability to clear its orbital path of other objects. Pluto has a thin atmosphere composed of methane and nitrogen, orbits the sun elliptically, and has seasonal changes as its surface ices evaporate and recondense with distance from the sun.
Comets
Comets are icy objects that orbit the sun. When close to the sun, they heat up and develop a glowing head and tail. Comets are typically named after their discoverer, such as a person or spacecraft. The most famous comet is Halley's Comet, which returns about every 75 years. It is named after Edmond Halley, who realized it was a periodic comet by examining sightings from the early 1600s and predicting its 1758 return.

Jupiter
Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, with a mass more than twice that of all other planets combined. It is composed primarily of gas and liquid and rotates faster than any other planet. Jupiter has the strongest magnetic field of any planet and has over 60 moons, four of which are large moons called the Galilean satellites that were discovered by Galileo. Europa may have subsurface oceans that could potentially support life. Many missions have been sent to Jupiter to study its atmosphere, magnetosphere, rings and moons.

The three dwarf planets - Pluto, Ceres, and Eris - are also introduced along with basic facts about their orbits and moons. Overall, the document provides a broad overview of the planets, dwarf planets, and other objects that make up our solar system.
Outer and Dwarf Planets in the Solar System
The document provides information about the outer planets and dwarf planets in our solar system. It discusses Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, describing their physical characteristics like size, composition, and orbital periods. It notes that all four gas giants have no solid surface and visiting them would be dangerous due to extreme pressure and radiation. The document also covers dwarf planets Ceres, Pluto, Eris, Haumea, and Makemake, summarizing their sizes, orbital periods, and unique features like Pluto's oval orbit and Haumea's fast rotation.
The solar system
The document is about the Earth, Sun and Moon. It provides information about the structure of the universe including galaxies, stars and nebulae. It then discusses the Solar System and provides details about the Sun, planets like Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It also mentions asteroids, comets, and dwarf planets. For each planet, it discusses their physical characteristics and origins of their names in Greek and Roman mythology.
Science Planets powerpoint
The document provides information about the planets and dwarf planets in our solar system. It describes the 8 major planets and 5 dwarf planets, and discusses their key characteristics such as composition, atmosphere, rotation, and moons. Examples include Mercury having no atmosphere and many impact craters, Venus rotating backwards and having extreme temperatures, and Pluto being the first and largest dwarf planet discovered.
Chapter 24
The document provides an overview of the solar system, including its origin and components. It discusses:
1) The modern view that the solar system formed from a rotating cloud of gas and dust that condensed to form the Sun and planets as it contracted.
2) The inner planets Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars, including characteristics such as temperatures, atmospheres, and evidence of past water on Mars.
3) The outer planets Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, noting their large sizes and gaseous compositions. Moons and rings are also mentioned.
Essay About Solar System
The document provides information about the planet Earth. It describes Earth as the third planet from the Sun located in the Milky Way galaxy. It then discusses how scientists believe the solar system formed from a large cloud of dust and gas approximately 5 billion years ago. As the cloud collapsed, the hot central region became the Sun and smaller fragments formed the planets through accretion.
The Solar System
The document summarizes key facts about planets and dwarf planets in our solar system. It provides details on the composition of atmospheres, notable features, moons, and other characteristics for each celestial body. Planets are divided into inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) and outer planets (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune). Dwarf planets include Pluto, Ceres, and Eris. Key facts are given for each object's size, composition, rotational properties, and number of moons. The document serves as a reference for basic information about bodies in our solar system.
