They generally have low densities‚ rapid rotation‚ deep atmospheres‚ rings‚ and numerous satellites. These planets include Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. The closest terrestrial planet to the sun is Mercury. Mercury is relatively small‚ and technically the eighth largest of all the planets. It is actually smaller in diameter than the moons Ganymede and Titan. Mercury

planets are Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ and Neptune. 2. Size Comparison. How many Earths could fit inside Jupiter (assuming you could fill up all the volume)? How many Jupiters could fit inside the Sun? The equation for the volume of a sphere is Jupiter radius = 71492 km Earth radius = 6378 km 71492/6378= (11.21 km)3 = 1408.38 x 3.14 x 0.75 = 3318 About 3318 Earths could fit inside Jupiter Sun radius = 696000 km / 71492 km = (9.74 km)3 = 922.69 x 3.14 x 0.75 = 2174 About 2174 Jupiters could fit inside

He looked at Jupiter through his telescope and saw 3 stars aligned with the planet. The next night when he looked at them again‚ their positions had changed. He had discovered the moons of Jupiter. The scientist studied the heliocentric model and the planets movements for months. He saw that Venus had phases like the moon‚ so he thought it must go around
