Solar+System

Solar System Jupiter takes 4332.59 days to orbit the sun. Mercury was named after Mercury the messenger of the gods. Mecury has a cool iron center. On Neptune you would weigh more than on earth. Neptune is the windiest planet in our solar sytem.

Q: Will there always be life on Earth??????? A: Our sun is a star and like all stars it will eventually begin to die out. It will become a Red Giant and engulf the inner planets (that means us). As the sun becomes a Red Giant it will expand over 30 times its size (maybe more) and will become too hot for life to survive. But do not worry, the sun will not run out of hydrogen and die until 5,000,000,000 years. By then humans may not be here on Earth.

Q: What is Jupiter’s “Red Spot”?????? A: The Great Red Spot on Jupiter is the planet’s fiercest storm. It is like a hurricane about 4 times as large as Earth (and that is only the storm, think about Jupiter it must be at least 5,000 times bigger than Earth maybe more).the storm has been going for over more than 300 years. The storm is made of gases like ammonia and clouds of ice it is about 5 miles or 8 km over the regular clouds that are not a part of the storm yet. Damp air rising in the “Red Spot” causes the clouds to rotate making a full circle every 6 Earth days.
