The document discusses two of the largest planets in our solar system, Jupiter and Saturn. It provides details about their physical characteristics such as their composition, size, moons, rings, and notable features. Jupiter is the largest planet and has a Great Red Spot storm on its atmosphere. Saturn is notable for its prominent rings, which were first observed by Galileo. Both planets have numerous moons, with Titan being a moon of Saturn that has a dense atmosphere.

7. HUMANS HAVE BEEN VERY

And that curiosity has helped us to
discover many things as well. One
of these things has been to explore
the space or what is beyond our
eyes.

11. In our solar system, there is an asteroid belt which separates
the planets. The planets within the belt are called: The inner
planets or terrestrial planets. They are : Mercury, Venus, Earth
and Mars.

12. Those outside the belt are called the outer
planets. They are: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and
Uranus

17. Saturn is the second biggest
planet after Jupiter and it is
the only one with a rings
system.
The most characteristic aspect of
Saturn is its bright rings. Its rings
were first seen by Galileo
Galilei, who invented the first
simple telescope in 1608. The rings
are made of billions of tiny chips of
ice and dust and they are incredibly
thin

18. The main rings are called rings
A and B, separated by the
Cassini division
THE
CASSINI
DIVISION

19. The planet is made of
hydrogen and helium. The
volume of the planet is enough
to contain 740 times the Earth!
SATURN
OUR
PLANET

20. Saturn has at least 18 moons
including Lapetus which is
black on one side and white on
the other.
But the most important moon
of Jupiter is Titan which is very
special, because it is the only
moon in the solar system with
a dense atmosphere

22. Jupiter is the biggest
planet in the solar system.
It is twice as heavy
as all the planets
put together.
Jupiter has 318
times the mass of
the Earth and 3
times the mass of
Saturn.

23. One of the most important
characteristic of this planet is
Jupiter’s Red spot. The great red
spot or GRS is a huge swirling
storm in Jupiter’s Atmosphere. Its
color changes often.

24. Jupiter has at least 12 moons.
Iois one of Jupiter’s four big
moons. Volcanoes erupt sulfur
on the surface.
Jupiter has a ring system like Saturn, but
much, much smaller.
JUPITER’S MOONS

25. The answer is no. Even
if your spaceship could
withstand the
enormous
pressures, there is no
surface to land on.
Is it possible to land on Jupiter?
