Question

The outer solar system is the name of the planets beyond the asterold belt. These planets are
called yns ginnts because they are made up of gas and ice.
The first stop of our tour is the fifth planet, Jupiter Jupiter is bigger than three hundred Earths
It is made up of hydrogen and helium and a few other gases. There are vistent wind storms that
circle around Jupiter. The most famous storm is called the Great Red Spot I has been chuming
for more than four hundred years already. At last count, Jupiter has sixty-three known moons
and faint ring around it too.
Next in our space neighbourhood comes Saturn It is well known for the series of beautiful
rings that circle it. They are made of tiny bits of frozen dirt and ice. Like Jupiter, Saturn is made
up of mostly hydrogen and helium. It is smaller though, at only ninety five time the size of
Earth. Saturn has sixty-two moons.
The seventh planet, Uranus and its twenty seven moons orbit very far from the sun in addition
to helium and hydrogen. Uranus atmosphere also contains ammonia ice and methane ice. It is
very cold planet, with no internal heat source. One of the strangest things about Uranus is that it
is tipped over and orbits the sun on its side at a ninety-degree angle. The twenty-seven moons it
has orbit from top to bottom, instead of left to right like our moon.
The eighth planet is Neptune. Like Uranus, it is made up of hydrogen, helium, ammonia ice and
methane ice. But unlike Uranus, Neptune does have an inner heat source, just like Earth. It
radiates twice as much heat as it receives from the sun. Neptune's most distinctive quality is its
blue colour. Most of the information we know about it come from the voyager 2 spacecraft
passing close by is in 1989.
Pluto is the last and was considered a planet after discovery in 1930. In 2006, Pluto was
demoted and reclassified as a dwarf planct. Pluto exists in Kuiper belt. That's just a fancy name
for the band of rocks, dust and ice that lies beyond the gas giants. Scientist have found objects
bigger than Pluto in this belt. Thus, the outer system has many secrets to explore.
