And then into the darkness of space. That's where the gas giants live. These are four more planets: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Jupiter and Saturn are composed of hydrogen and helium. Neptune and Uranus, however, are made of ice. These two planets, Neptune and Uranus, are also considered ice giants.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Its mass is 2.5 times greater than that of the other seven planets. A day there lasts 9 hours and 55 minutes. This is due to the planet's incredible rotation speed. The planet moves at an incredible speed. Its surface is full of vortices, and even has a large sunspot. It has 95 satellites.
Saturn has a system of bright and noticeable rings. They are composed of ice and dust. Saturn has 146 moons orbiting it. It is the second largest planet in the solar system. It is also a gas planet and has no solid surface. Strong winds blow there. And some hurricanes are very persistent. The planet has many satellites – 274. That's a record.
Uranus is an ice giant. The planet sort of lies on its side. It has very long polar days and polar nights – about 42 Earth years. It's very cold there. It can reach -224 degrees Celsius. And there are also strong winds – up to 900 km/h. It has 29 satellites.
Neptune is also an ice giant. It has 14 satellites. It is the planet farthest from the Sun. It has the strongest winds – up to 600 meters per second. The planet completes a full orbit around the Sun in almost 165 Earth years.
