Venus/Jupiter

Our solar system consists of the Sun, the planets and their moon satellites, asteroids (small planets), comets, and meteorites. The planets are generally divided into two categories Earth-like (terrestrial) planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars and Giant planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Little is known about Pluto, the most remote planet from Earth. 

S2O and the polysulfuroxide formed from it are also suspected to be components of the surface and the atmosphere of Jupiter s moon lo [22], and S2O has been detected in the atmosphere of the planet Venus [23].

In the region of the terrestrial planets, there may have been several thousand planetesimals of up to several hundred kilometres in diameter. During about ten million years, these united to form the four planets—Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars—which are close to the sun. Far outside the orbit of the planet Mars, the heavier planets were formed, in particular Jupiter and Saturn, the huge masses of which attracted all the hydrogen and helium around them. Apart from their cores, these planets have a similar composition to that of the sun. Between the planets Mars and Jupiter, there is a large zone which should really contain another planet. It... 

Water can be found, in all three aggregate states, almost everywhere in the universe as ice in the liquid phase on the satellites of the outer solar system, including Saturn s rings and in the gaseous state in the atmospheres of Venus, Mars and Jupiter and in comets (as can be shown, for example, from the IR spectra of Halley s comet). The OH radical has been known for many years as the photodissociation product of water.

The density estimates in Table 7.1 show a distinction between the structures of the planets, with Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars all having mean densities consistent with a rocky internal structure. The Earth-like nature of their composition, orbital periods and distance from the Sun enable these to be classified as the terrestrial planets. Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus have very low densities and are simple gas giants, perhaps with a very small rocky core. Neptune and Pluto clearly contain more dense materials, perhaps a mixture of gas, rock and ice.

In one sense, the creation of alchemy represented a step backward. The Egyptians had known seven metallic elements gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, lead, and mercury, which they associated with the seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, respectively). The Greeks, however, failed to recognize them as distinct elements. According to the Aristotelian theory, the metals were mixtures of the traditional four elements. This idea seemed to...

Noble gases are most abundant in planetary atmospheres, although even there they are only minor components. They have been measured in the gas envelopes of Venus, Earth (of course), Mars, and Jupiter. We will consider their utility in understanding planetary differentiation and atmospheric evolution shortly, but first we will focus on their rather miniscule abundances in meteorites and other extraterrestrial materials. 

Other applications of inorganic mass spectrometry in planetary sciences were reviewed by de Laeter, including the analysis of the planets Mars (Viking spacecraft mission), Venus (Pioneer mission) and Jupiter (Galileo mission), where small molecules were discovered on the planets, and extraterrestrial materials from comets, Moon and meteorites.32...

The necessary starting point for any study of the chemistry of a planetary atmosphere is the dissociation of molecules, which results from the absorption of solar ultraviolet radiation. This atmospheric chemistry must take into account not only the general characteristics of the atmosphere (constitution), but also its particular chemical constituents (composition). The absorption of solar radiation can be attributed to carbon dioxide (C02) for Mars and Venus, to molecular oxygen (02) for the Earth, and to methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) for Jupiter and the outer planets. 

Now understand well what I shall say, for indeed I will speak nothing wrong. This Mercury without its equal you may find in the Sun, when he is in his great heat, and that he makes many blossoms appear, for the fruits come after blossoms. I can prove it in this manner, and still a hundred other ways, which to this art are very slight. But this hear is the chief, and I therefore mention it to you. I have not abused you indeed, for it is visibly there to be found. And if you would work in Luna, you may as well there find it out in Saturn and in Jupiter, and in Mars which I call Iron in Venus and in Mercury one may find it most securely. But as to me I found it in the Sun and after wrought it. And therefore I made this Book for you, that you may freely understand me. In Luna seek to see or find it from thence I took my first matter.

Jupiter and Uranus are outer planets composed mainly of gases. Jupiter s atmosphere contains reddish-brown clouds of ammonia. Uranus has an atmosphere made up mainly of hydrogen and helium with clouds of water vapor. This combination looks greenish to an outside observer. In addition, Mars has an atmosphere that is 95% carbon dioxide, and Venus has a permanent cloud cover of sulfur dioxide that appears pale yellow to an observer. Mercury has no permanent atmosphere. Saturn has 1 km thick dust and ice rings that orbit the planet. The eight planets in our solar system are diverse, each having different chemical compositions within and surrounding the planets. Out Earth is by far the friendliest planet for human existence.
