  1. __________Haumea
  2. __________Similar to size of earth, no magnetic field, atmosphere dense and hot containing carbon dioxide and thick clouds of sulfuric acid, smooth solid surface
  3. __________Closest to sun, fastest in the solar system, smallest planet, iron core, thin atmosphere with traces of oxygen and sodium.
  4. __________Core of molten iron and nickel generates a magnetic field, mantle of ferromagnesium silicate, olivene, and pyroxines, crust contains oxygen, silicates, aluminum, iron. Atmosphere roughly 80% nitrogen and 20% oxygen with other trace gases.
  5. __________Moons of Jupiter
  6. __________Makemake
  7. __________Largest planet in the solar system, this gas giant has no solid surface and an atmosphere made up primarily of hydrogen and secondarily of helium.
  8. __________Quaoar
  9. __________Only five planets can be seen by the human eye, this was the most distant of the five. Crossing the sky the slowest of the visible planets, the ancients took this to be an elderly planet and thus father to the brighter and clearly more powerful Jupiter. The rings around this gas giant, second largest planet in the solar system, helped us learn how the solar system formed. The atmosphere is primarily hydrogen and helium, with different latitudes rotating at different rates produced a banded appearance in a telescope.

Despite being far from the heat of the sun, this planet has a sizzling core temperature of 515 degrees Celsius, while its hydrogena and helium outermost layers are a frigid -220 degrees Celsius.
  15. __________Known as the red planet due to its reddish glow in the night sky, this planet has a surface covered with iron oxides - rust - hence its color. The thin atmosphere is primarily composed of carbon dioxide. Long dormant volcanoes are found on the surface, ice caps at the poles.
