Comets, are icy small objects that pass near the center of the solar system, heat up and begin to out gas, displaying a visible atmosphere or coma, and sometimes also a tail.
Moving out now from the Earth is the red planet, ___ ___ ___ ___, a dead planet; a giant fossil. It's too dusty that we can hardly see. It has a volcano, Olympus Mons, that is three times higher than Mount Everest. No ozone layer, frozen waters all over. A canyon larger than the Grand Canyon on the Earth. Geological evidence gathered by missions suggests that this object once had large-scale water coverage on its surface at some earlier stage of its life.

___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ is the sixth planet and the second of the gas giants. This gas giant is known for its rings, rings that can be seen with a telescope from Earth. its spectacular rings span the distance from the Earth to Moon. This rings are made of billions of chunks of ice orbiting the planet in a flat disk, the chunks collide and break apart continuously, coming together and smashing to form more chunks. ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ is the largest moon of this planet famed for its rings. it is the only natural satellite known to have a dense atmosphere, and the only object other than Earth where clear evidence of stable bodies of surface liquid has been found. This moon has lakes of methane on the surface, has an atmosphere, it has methane rain, wind, and even seasons. It has rivers, lakes and oceans that are made of liquid natural gas.

Covered in hydrogen, helium, and methane gas, this object is the last of the four gas giant planets in the solar system. A storm as big as earth has been photographed in the atmosphere. The largest moon, ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___, is solid but not stable. The moon is too close to the planet, gravitational forces, massive tidal forces acting on the rock mantle of the moon, generate geysers of dust and violent quakes. One day the planet will rip apart this moon.
