| Next is Jupitor. Jupiter's great red spot visible in the picture to the right is where a giant storm has been raging for at least 300 years. This storm's super hurricane winds blow across the planet. | |

| The 6th planet is Jupiter. It is thought that Saturn rings may be present from the beginning of the solar system. The solar system is around 4.6 billion years old. | |

|
 |
| | |
| The rings may have been created when a 300 km ice moon was torn apart due to Saturn's gravity. | |
