122. Astronomy For Kids Includes information and two pictures related to this topic. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/asteroid.html

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).

123. Astronomy For Kids - Learn About Asteroids Provides a definition, a history background and pictures related to these bodies. http://www.kidsastronomy.com/asteroid.htm

The Asteroid Belt The Sun Mercury Venus Earth ... All Planets (For Printing) All Moons 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.

124. Astronomy For Kids Contains an image and facts related to the planet. http://www.frontiernet.net/~kidpower/jupiter.html

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.

125. Astronomy For Kids Jupiter Provides details about its location, its visibility from Earth as well as data related to its size and its moons. http://www.dustbunny.com/afk/planets/jupiter/

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.
