Neptune
The blue clouds of Neptune are mostly frozen methane, the main chemical in natural gas — a fuel for heating and cooking on Earth. The other object shown is Neptune’s moon Triton. Image credit: NASA/JPL
Neptune is one of the two planets that cannot be seen without a telescope. The other is Pluto. Neptune is [...]

Saturn is encircled by seven major rings. In this photograph, a section of the rings is hidden by the planet’s shadow. The Cassini spacecraft, launched in 1997 to study Saturn and its rings and satellites, captured this natural color image as it approached the planet in 2004.

Jupiter
The layers of dense clouds around Jupiter appear in a photograph of the planet taken by the Voyager 1 space probe. The large, oval-shaped mark on the clouds is the Great Red Spot. The spot is believed to be an intense atmospheric disturbance. Image credit: Jet Propulsion Laboratory
Jupiter is the largest planet in [...]

Earth
Earth, our home planet, has oceans of liquid water, and continents that rise above sea level. NASA scientists combined satellite photographs with surface data to create this detailed image of Earth’s land masses and oceans. The swirling mass of clouds west of Mexico is a large hurricane.

Venus
The surface of Venus was scanned with radar waves beamed from orbiting space probes to produce this image. The colors are based on photos taken by probes that landed on Venus. Image credit: NASA
Venus is known as the Earth’s “twin” because the two planets are so similar in size. The diameter of Venus is [...]
