Four of the planets - Jupiter, Satum, Uranus, and Neptune - have a lot in cominon: they are giants compared to the other planets, and they are all gaseous. They are mostly made up of hydrogen and helium, with small amounts of other chemical elements. None of them have solid surfaces, and when we look at them, we see their colourful gas atmospheres, but deep below the surface are small, round centers of rock. As a result of their size and make up, these four planetary giants are often described as the gas giants. ‘The methane gas in Uranus and Neptune gives these two planets their blue - green colouring. Uranus stands out from all the other planets because it lies on its side. It is thought that young Uranus was knocked into this position by a giant space rock in the distant past. Its neighbour, Neptune, has bizarre weather. Energy from the Sun heats up Earth and drives its weather, but cold Neptune is 30 times farther away from the Sun, It has monstrous storms and unbearably fast winds. Jupiter is the largest giant. Earth would fit across its face 11 times, and it has a mass that is 2.5 times that of all the other planets combined. Young Jupiter was even bigger - five times its present size. The planet shrinks by around 0.8 inch (2om) a year as it cools. Saturn, the next largest, is almost twice as far from the Sun as Jupiteris, It is an imperfect ball shape -the region around its equator bulges. Saturn has very clear rings, and we get different views of these as the planet orbits the Sun, Sometimes we see them from above and at other times from below. The top layers of Jupiter's and Saturn's gas atmospheres make colourful bands that go all the ‘way around the planets, Storms grow and rage within the atmospheres of these two planets. A colossal storm on Jupiter, called the Great Red Spot has been raging and swirling for more than 300 years. No one knows how much longer it could last, but it coitld potentially be seen for generations to come. (1) State whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F) by writing "I" or the space given. 1. Jupiterand Uranus have solid surfaces. TL Neptune and Uranus get their colours froma special gas. IIL, Uranushas dreadful storms IV.
