QuestionAnswer
What covers Jupiter’s outer layer? Dynamic storms and turbulent gases.
What are Jupiter’s reddish bands called? Belts.
What are Jupiter’s light bands called? Zones.
What is the Great Red Spot? A large, long-lived storm on Jupiter.
How long is Jupiter’s rotation period? About 10 hours.
What is Jupiter’s interior structure? Rocky core, thick mantle of liquid hydrogen, thin gaseous atmosphere.
What exists below Jupiter’s clouds? Liquid molecular hydrogen and helium.
What happens to pressure as you go deeper into Jupiter’s interior? It increases (like in the oceans).
How much energy does Jupiter give off compared to what it receives from the Sun? Twice as much.
What characterizes Saturn’s atmosphere? Thick and hazy.
How fast does Saturn rotate? 10h 14m at the equator; 10h 40m at high latitudes.
Major constituent of Saturn’s atmosphere? Hydrogen.
Does Saturn have storms? Yes.
Which major planet’s spin axis lies in its orbital plane? Uranus.
What is Uranus’s interior structure? Rocky core, thick layer of compressed liquid water, thick layer of liquid hydrogen, thin gaseous atmosphere.
What gases are most abundant in Uranus’s atmosphere? Hydrogen and helium with traces of methane.
Why does Uranus have extreme seasons? Its tilted spin axis.
Cold, massive planets retain what? all gases, even the lightest gasses (eg. the jovians)
Warm, massive planets retain what? will lose the lighter gases but retain the heavier(eg. Venus, earth, mars)
Warm, small planets retain what? will lose all gases(Mercury and Moon)
Where do gases from the atmosphere come from? Gases from the atmospheres come from either original material left over from planet formation (primary atmospheres) or are released from the planet's interior or acquired through impacts
On which planet(s) does carbon dioxide predominate in the atmosphere? Mars and Venus
The mass of Jupiter is determined by... using Newton's laws on the observed motions of Jupiter's moons
The average density of the massive planet Jupiter is less than that of Earth but greater than that of water
One significant physical characteristic of the high pressure form of hydrogen that is thought to exist in the interior of' Jupiter is that it is.... an electrically conducting liquid.
Because its spin axis lies almost in its orbital plane, Uranus experiences extreme seasonal changes.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
