Saturn is the second-largest planet in the solar system, after Jupiter, and has a diameter about 9 times that of Earth.

the 7th planet of the solar system with a blue-green color located between Saturn and Neptune

The Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Uranus in 1986, providing the first close-up images and data about its rings and moons.

the 8th planet of the solar system with a ring of icy particles around it

Neptune’s vibrant blue color is due to the presence of methane in its atmosphere, which absorbs red light.

a branch of science that studies space, planets, etc.

Advances in astronomy have led to the discovery of exoplanets orbiting other stars in our galaxy.
