Three planets having rings around them are ________, __________ and ________.
Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar
system. Fittingly, it was named after the king of the gods in Roman mythology.
In a similar manner, the ancient Greeks named the planet after Zeus, the king
of the Greek pantheon.
Jupiter helped revolutionize the way we saw
the universe and ourselves in 1610, when Galileo discovered Jupiter's four
large moons. This was the first time that celestial bodies were seen circling
an object other than Earth, major support of the Copernican view that Earth was
not the center of the universe.
Saturn is
the sixth planet from the sun and the second-largest in
the solar system, after Jupiter. It is a gas giant with an
average radius about nine times that of Earth It has only one-eighth
the average density of Earth, but with its larger volume Saturn is over 95
times more massive. Saturn is named after the roman god of agriculture; its astronomical symbol represents the god's sickle.
Uranus is the
seventh planet from the sun. It has the third-largest planetary radius and
fourth-largest planetary mass in the solar system Uranus is similar in composition to naptune, and both
have bulk chemical compositions which differ from that of the larger gas
giantsjupiter and saturn.
