SOLAR SYSTEM

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. Jupiter’s stripes and swirls are actually cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water, floating in an atmosphere of hydrogen and helium.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ganymede. Ganymede is the largest satellite in our solar system.

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: -How large is Jupiter compared to Saturn? Answer: If Saturn is 10 x Venus, and Jupiter is 11 x Earth, Jupiter is 11/10 times Saturn.

Detailed explanation-5: -In the solar system, Earth is the fifth largest of the planets. The earth is a unique planet of the solar system because: Conditions favourable to support life are probably found only on the earth. The earth is neither too hot nor too cold.
