KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -Jupiter is the fifth planet from our Sun and is, by far, the largest planet in the solar system – more than twice as massive as all the other planets combined.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system because it had the largest foundation to attract matter as a protoplanet. In the formation of the solar system 4.5 billion years ago, each planet formed from a protoplanet foundation, a collection of dust and gas that did not fall into the sun.

Detailed explanation-3: -But despite Venus being much smaller – Jupiter’s diameter is a whopping 140, 000 kilometres, more than 10 times that of Venus, at about 12, 000 kilometres across – it will appear bigger and brighter than Jupiter. That’s partly because it is much closer to us, and partly down to reflectivity.

Detailed explanation-4: -Saturn is the second largest planet in our Solar System. Only Jupiter is larger.
