Diameter
4070 miles
Length of Day
24 Earth hours
Length of Year 687 Earth days Name Comes from the Roman god of war. Visited by Mariner, Viking, Pathfinder, Mars Observer, Climate Orbiter The Red Planet Mars, probably more than any of our solar system neighbors, has had, and continues to have, a very large impact on our social, scientific and cultural lives. Throughout history, the appearance of Mars in the sky, with its somewhat ominous red color, has been interpreted as an omen that something important, and usually bad, was about to happen. Wars have been started, rulers have been overthrown and, in the case of the famous "War of the Worlds" broadcast in 1938, entire populations have been thrown into panic. Countless books, both fiction and non-fiction, have been written about Mars and Hollywood has churned out lots of movies, both good and bad, about what might happen when we visit Mars or when the imagined inhabitants of Mars visit us. Modern science, using information from both past and current spacecraft, paints a more fascinating picture of the Red Planet than even the movie industry has been able to dream up.

ASTEROIDS
Are also known as the Minor Planets.
Orbit the Sun mainly between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Usually range in size from 1 kilometer to 1000 kilometers across.
Are difficult to observe because of their small size.
Gaspra (above) and Ida (right) are two known Asteroids. Ceres, Pallas, Juno and Vesta are some other of the larger Asteroids.
Sometimes have moons that orbit them. Notice the small moon that orbits Ida (right).

What are asteroids?
An asteroid is a large rock in outer space. Some, like Ceres, can be very large, while others are as small as a grain of sand. Due to their smaller size, asteroids do not have enough gravity to pull themselves into the shape of a ball. Astronomers group asteroids into different categories based on the way they reflect sunlight. The asteroid belt is divided into an inner belt and an outer belt. The inner belt which is made up of asteroids that are within 250 million miles of the Sun contains asteroids that are made of metals. The outer belt, which includes asteroids 250 million miles beyond the Sun, consists of rocky asteroids. These asteroids appear darker than the asteroids of the inner belt, and are rich in carbon. Where did the Asteroid Belt come from? Asteroids are left over materials from the formation of the Solar System. These materials were never incorporated into a planet, because of their proximity to Jupiter's strong gravity.

Astronomy For Kids
Kids have wonderful imaginations. Astronomy is a great place to start encouraging them to put it to use. Watching the stars is inexpensive too. Grab a blanket, some snacks, and binoculars if you have some handy, and head for a dark spot.
If you need a flash light, try to get one with a red filter. Your eyes take at least 30 minutes to adjust to the darkness everytime you turn it on. If you use a regular flashlight your eyes will need another 30 minutes to adjust. Our eyes adjust much faster to red light.
Let's start with the planet we live on.
         The Earth is the third planet from the Sun. It is where you and I live everyday. So far, it is the only planet that we know has life.          Most of the surface of the Earth is water, that's why the picture above is so blue. You can see clouds, oceans and land in that picture. Do you know how much of the Earth is covered in water? E-mail me if you know! Next we can move on to the object that is the easiest to find. The Moon!
         The Moon is a satellite of the Earth. It circles or

JUPITER
Is the largest of all the planets. Its mass (weight) is over 320 times that of the Earth. Its diameter is over 10 times that of our planet.
Is the fifth planet in order from the Sun. It is about 780 million kilometers from the Sun.
Makes one complete orbit around the Sun every 11.86 years.
Rotates on its axis faster than any other planet. It completes one rotation in about 9 hours and 50 minutes.
Is one of the brightest planets.
Has a total of 16 satellites.

Jupiter Facts Distance from Sun
Approximately 466 million miles
Number of Moons
At least 61
Diameter
85788 miles
Length of Day
10 Earth hours
Length of Year 12 Earth years Name Comes from the Roman king of the gods. Visited by Pioneer 11, Viking, Galileo and others King of the Planets The fifth planet in our solar system is also the largest planet in our system, both in size and mass. Jupiter's diameter of over 85,000 miles is almost twelve times that of Earth and its mass is well over twice as much as all the rest of the planets put together. These facts make it appropriate that the planet is named after the king of all the other gods in ancient Roman mythology Jupiter is also the first of the gas planets in our system. A gas planet is one that does not have a solid surface like Earth. Instead, you can think of Jupiter, as well as the rest of the gas planets, as being a giant ball of mostly hydrogen and helium. Scientists believe that Jupiter has a small rocky core at its center, but even the core of this giant planet is much larger than our Earth. Jupiter's size not only makes it the largest planet in our solar system, it has also helped us explore the outer planets. Scientists have used the planet's gravity to accelerate spacecraft and send them one their way to Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
