1 Ιαν 2020 · These features suggest a link between the energy transport in the deep atmosphere and the visible cloud tops; the exact nature of this connection remains an outstanding question in giant planet atmosphere studies.
Why do the jovian planets have rings? • They formed from dust created in impacts on moons orbiting those planets. © 2017 Pearson Education, Inc. How do we know?
23 Μαρ 2022 · The gas giants of our solar system — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — together make up a group known as the Jovian planets, according to the University of Colorado at Boulder.
SUMMARY: All four jovian planets are surrounded by a set of rings. These rings are made up of rock, ice, and dust particles that range in size from microscopically small to the size of a house.

1 Σεπ 2010 · Its main ring is located at 1.71R J ≤ r ≤ 1.81R J (the planet's radius R J ≃ 71,398 km) with an optical depth τ ≃ 10 −5. The main ring consists of ‘large bodies’ in the centimeter to meter size range [Showalter et al., 2007] and also a large population of small dust particles in the 0.1 ≤ a ≤ 100 μm size range. The small ...
Saturn’s Rings. Most substantial ring system in the solar system. ~1019 kg of mass, mostly water-ice crystals up to ~m in size. Main rings are ~75,000 - 140,000 km from the center of Saturn, with thicknesses generally a few km, but up to ~1,000 km in some places.
The Jovian Planets. This lecture compares and contrasts the properties of the four Jovian Planets of the Solar System. Jupiter and Saturn are Gas Giants: mostly hydrogen & helium with deep metallic hydrogen mantles and rocky cores. Uranus and Neptune are Ice Giants: thin hydrogen & helium atmospheres over deep ice & rock mantles.
