Solar system fun facts: part 2

May 23rd 2006 03:25
Well here's a second lot of solar system fun facts:

Jupiter: Jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system and it takes 12 Earth years to go around the sun. Which would mean I would only be just over 1 and a half jupiter years old. In fact, at this moment I would be 1 and 15/24 Jupiter years old. Yay!

Saturn: has no surface on which you can stand. It is made of gas, while its rings are made up of particles of dust and ice.

Uranus:

Leela: Sorry Fry, but scientists renamed Uranus in 2620 to end that stupid joke.
Fry: What's it called now?
Leela: Urectum.

Quote from Futurama

What more can I say, except that some of Uranus's moons are named from Shakespeare's plays.

Neptune: I believe Neptune has, to our knowledge, 13 moons, although moon counts change from time to time. Better change soon, before the bad luck catches up.

Pluto: Recently some people tried to remove Pluto's title as a planet as there are many other objects of pluto's size that orbit the sun.

Well there you go,

the nine planets of the solar system.

Tune in tomorrow for...

who knows?

i believe that pluto is no longer classed as a planet but as a (forgot the word) sub or mini planet. I did hear that they were thinking of making one of its moons a planet though.

Yes, you'd be right about tha! - I think Pluto is now classified as a 'dwarf planet'.
