 What is the 5th planet from the sun
GIANT PLANET
JUPITER
 Jupiter was named after the king of the Roman
gods, being the largest planet of the solar system.
 More that a thousand earths can fit into this giant
planet. Its mass is 2 and a half times greater than
the rest of the planets put together, or 300 times
greater than Earth.
 It is huge ball of hot liquid, surrounded by thick
clouds of gas that rotate at different speeds in
different parts of the planet, periodically causing
great storms.
JUPITER
 These clouds form colored bands around the
planet parallel to its equator, which are
really belts of rising warm gases.
 The planet has a striking Red Spot on its
southern hemisphere, called the “eye” of
Jupiter.
 It is actually a huge hurricane that has been
whirling in its atmosphere for hundreds of
years.
Jupiter has an average orbital speed of
13 km/s, revolving around the sun in
11.86 earth years.
It rotates once every 9 hours, making it
the fastest spinning planet.
It is like a miniature solar system because it has
at least 17 orbiting moons.
Lo, the closest moon, has active volcanoes and is
covered with sulfur.
Europa looks like a cracked egg.
Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar
system.
The ring system of Jupiter is believed to have
come from its innermost moons, which had been
slowly disintegrated by the planet’s great gravity.
 Jupiter was named after the ______KING
of the Roman
gods,
 Why was Jupiter was named after the king of the

Roman gods?

system.

great __________
gravity.
 What is the 6th planet from the sun?
RINGED PLANETS
SATURN
 Saturn was named after the Roman god of farming.
It is the second largest planet in our solar system, but
the least dense because it has a very deep atmosphere
consisting mainly of helium and methane.
 It is often called the ringed planet because of its ring
system consisting of seven major rings and
thousands of ringlets.
 Because it spins very fast, its shape is an oblate
spheroid.
 It has 23 or more moons; the largest, Titan, is bigger
than Mercury.
 Saturn has white spots similar the Great Red Spot
of Jupiter, but smaller. This indicates the planet’s
turbulent atmosphere.
 Its magnetic field is much stronger than Earth’s.
it has an average orbital speed of 9.64 km/s,
revolving around the sun in 29.64 earth years.
 It rotates once every 10 hours and 39 minutes.
